 The CG Basrah Water Purification Facility was built in late of 2013. This
facility currently treats all the water needed for Consulate. The facility can
purify up to 330,000 gallons per day (Waterworks Technologies, each
ROWPU can purify up to 165,000 US Gallons/day).
When visiting/entering the Water Point yard you must Sign In the Visitors
Log and you will be escorted at all the time,
At the Water Point we use several chemicals for Pretreatment and Water
Treatment and it is recommended to stay away from those chemicals.
When working around you must follow the given instructions from the
Water Department Personnel.
Below is list of the chemicals and their usage:
Chlorine (Sodium Hypochlorite, Cl2): Is used for disinfection, usually
is used to kill any bacteria or microorganism that may be in the water.
Antiscalant: Is used in mainly industries including in drinking water
industry, it is soluble in water. It is used to control the scale.
Acid (Hydrochloric Acid, HCl): Is used in mainly industries including in
drinking water industry, it is soluble in water. In our case is used to control
pH, acid lowers pH.
Caustic (Sodium Hydroxide, NaOH): Is used in many industries
including in drinking water industry, it is soluble in water. In our case is
used to control the pH, caustic raises the pH.
Coagulant (RoQuest 6000): Is used in mainly industries including in
drinking water industry, it is soluble in water. Coagulant removes dirt and
other particles in water.
SMBS (Sodium Metabisulphite): Is used to neutralize Sodium
Hypochlorite (to kill Chlorine).
 It is employees responsibility to clean, inspect and maintain their PPE in
good condition, they must clean used PPE after each use and to store
them properly in the PPE storage cabinet.
First Aid Measure: Remove victim immediately from the source of

 The Water Cycle
Earth's water is always in movement, and the natural water cycle, also
known as the hydrologic cycle, describes the continuous movement of water
on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. Water is always changing
states between liquid, vapor, and ice, with these processes happening in the
blink of an eye and over millions of years.
