Safe by design
Multiple barriers remove particles, odor, and bacteria at every stage.
The process
How water is purified
Clean water does not arrive safe by chance. Raw water drawn from a river, lake, dam, or reservoir is turned into clean, healthy water through a series of carefully designed steps — this is that complete journey, from the source to your home.
Introduction
Why water treatment matters
The water we drink is made safe — purified from a natural source through steps that remove odor, suspended solids, and harmful bacteria. A water treatment plant takes untreated water and, stage by stage, transforms it into water that is clear, clean, and safe enough to drink.
Built for communities
Scaled for households, schools, hospitals, and whole villages.
Proven engineering
Korean-manufactured technology with international field experience.
The process · 9 stages
The complete journey — from the dam to your home
Every drop of drinking water travels through the same careful sequence. Here is each step, in order.
-
1
Dam · Water Source
Where the water is collected
The reservoir where raw water is stored — a river, lake, dam, or reservoir. This is the "water warehouse," the raw-material store for everything that follows.
-
2
Intake · Pumping Station
The journey begins
Located near the source, the intake draws in raw water and sends it to the treatment center — while monitoring water quality around the clock for harmful substances.
-
3
Coagulation · Chemical Tank
Fine particles are bound together
A precise dose of coagulant is mixed into the water. It binds fine, cloudy particles (colloids) into larger clusters that can later be removed.
-
4
Flocculation · Sedimentation
The clumps settle out
The water is stirred slowly so particles cling into heavy clumps called "floc." These flocs settle to the bottom, and the clear water above is drawn off.
-
5
Filtration
Down to the smallest particle
The settled water passes through layers of sand and gravel, removing even the smallest remaining particles. After filtration, the water is clear.
-
6
Disinfection
Made truly hygienic
Even clear, filtered water can still carry bacteria. A small, carefully controlled amount of chlorine is added — the final step that makes it safe.
-
7
Clear Water Tank
Finished water is held
The disinfected water is held here temporarily. From this tank, powerful pumps send the finished water onward to storage, homes, and businesses.
-
8
Water Supply · Storage
Stored, ready to distribute
An intermediate reservoir, usually on the highest ground nearby, stores treated water before distribution — and keeps a reserve in case production is interrupted.
-
9
Households
Clean water reaches home
Through the distribution network, clean and safe water finally reaches every home — the destination of the entire process.
Our system
The CEYKO / DS treatment unit
The same nine-stage principle, built into a compact unit. The demonstration model runs at 2 m³ / 8 hr as a non-powered reaction system — and the real plant is designed to your site, from a village supply up to 50 or 100 tonnes.
Why CEYKO
Proven technology, real results
CEYKO International supplies systems built by DS Environmental Plant — fitted to real conditions: compact, simple to operate, and reliable even where power is limited.
Korean manufacturing
Designed and built by DS Environmental Plant, with certified quality and environmental management systems.
International experience
Proven with overseas water and wastewater treatment installations, including field projects in Vietnam.
Non-powered reaction
A core reaction stage that needs no electricity — ideal for regions with an unstable power supply.
Modular & scalable
Start with a basic unit and expand in stages — matched to each community's budget and needs.
Bring this system to your community
The same process can be built for your village, school, or town. Visit our showroom to see it work, and let us plan the right plant for you.
