This critical component marks the initial steps where raw water undergoes preliminary treatment before embarking on the main treatment process.

In the journey towards clean water, our primary treatment process focuses on the physical removal of large suspended solids and particulate matter from raw water. This vital initial phase is essential for alleviating the burden of solids and impurities, paving the way for subsequent treatment stages. Taking place in settling tanks or basins, gravity aids in the settling of heavier particles to the bottom, leaving us with clarified water featuring reduced solids content. While adept at handling larger particles, it’s important to note that primary treatment may not address dissolved contaminants or smaller suspended particles.

Tikal Headworks plays a pivotal role in safeguarding downstream treatment units and equipment by removing large debris and abrasive materials that could cause damage.
