Mohammad Nazrul Islam Bhuiyan , what are the treatment steps?

Basically hybrid micro filtration or Ultrafiltration could remove the flocs at a lower cost. If you share more information, we may able to discuss more on this.

Mohammad Nazrul Islam Bhuiyan ; Since you mentioned as bottled water, we are assuming that all process is being followed to control/ eliminate physical & biological impurities. However, if you share the treatment scheme it would be easy to predict the possible reasons. If everything looks like perfect, kindly try to test the water in stage wise. Sometime final treated water storage tank gives the room for micro biological growth! since it’s to open to atmosphere and if the tank is not cleaned in recent days & fresh water passage through might be very limited & long storage time.

By using Aluminium sulphate as coagulant we can obtain ppt which can easly remove from water by filteration using purification ponds .also we can use Jar test to dtermine the amount of Alum needed to ppt the floc out of the water
