Which of the following is a primary objective of water treatment in institutional settings?

  1. Eliminating harmful contaminants

  2. Improving taste and odor

  3. Adjusting pH levels

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In institutional settings, water treatment aims to remove harmful contaminants, enhance taste and odor, and ensure appropriate pH levels to safeguard public health and meet regulatory standards.

What is the most common type of filtration used in institutional water treatment systems?

  1. Reverse osmosis

  2. Ultrafiltration

  3. Activated carbon filtration

  4. Sand filtration


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Sand filtration is widely employed in institutional water treatment due to its effectiveness in removing suspended solids, turbidity, and certain contaminants.

What is the primary purpose of activated carbon filtration in water treatment?

  1. Removing heavy metals

  2. Eliminating bacteria and viruses

  3. Reducing chlorine and chloramine

  4. Improving taste and odor


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Activated carbon filtration is primarily used to enhance the taste and odor of water by removing impurities that cause unpleasant flavors or smells.

Which disinfection method is commonly used in institutional water treatment systems to eliminate microorganisms?

  1. Chlorination

  2. Ozonation

  3. Ultraviolet disinfection

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Chlorination, ozonation, and ultraviolet disinfection are all commonly employed disinfection methods in institutional water treatment systems to effectively eliminate microorganisms and ensure water safety.

What is the primary function of a water softener in institutional water treatment?

  1. Removing hardness minerals

  2. Adjusting pH levels

  3. Eliminating bacteria and viruses

  4. Improving taste and odor


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Water softeners are primarily used in institutional water treatment to remove hardness minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, which can cause scale buildup and affect the efficiency of water-using appliances.

What is the purpose of reverse osmosis in water treatment systems?

  1. Removing dissolved solids and impurities

  2. Adjusting pH levels

  3. Eliminating bacteria and viruses

  4. Improving taste and odor


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Reverse osmosis is a highly effective water treatment technology that removes dissolved solids, impurities, and contaminants by forcing water through a semipermeable membrane.
