Frank J. Horgan Filtration Plant

Frank J. Horgan Filtration Plant Introduction Frank J. Horgan Filtration Plant is located on the shores of Lake Ontario in southeastern Toronto (see map). The aim is to supply safe drinking water to the faucet by filtering the water. Water gathers from Ontario Lake. The factory has a production capacity of 455 million liters per day to supply drinking water to the residents of Toronto. The average drinking water volume is 355 million liters per day. Toronto is also the latest filtration plant.

The historic Frank J. Horgan filtration plant was constructed from Scarborough between 1974 and 1979 and opened on May 22, 1980. When it was opened, it was not named Frank J. Horgan Filtration Plant, but it was named Easterly Filtration Plant. This is because the plant is located in eastern Toronto. This name seemed appropriate at the time. The name was changed to Frank J. Horgan Filtration Plant in 1990 by Metro Toronto's engineering specialist. The construction cost of the factory is about 57 million dollars. Approximately 19 major contractors work at the factory and are supervised by James F. Macharen Limited's engineering company. It is the latest factory, but it suffered a disaster. Their intake occurred two times between 1980 and 1995 due to extreme stress and water forces. These events will cause the factory to shut down until they can fix it

Frank J. The production of Horgan filtration equipment requires only one row of material, ie water, to operate. The plant is adjacent to Ontario Lake and collects water for purification. Water enters the plant through two 114,182 million liters of pump per day, total height from the coast is 18 meters and 2960 meters. Since the water pressure at this depth is strong, a mechanical pump is not necessary. They just let pressure and suction work. Water is currently being treated with chemicals such as aluminum sulfate (alum), lime, chlorine. Alum is used to stick particles of dirt to form large dirty pieces called "flocks". Add a lot of chlorine to the water to kill the bacteria. If we drink it, you will die of chlorine poisoning. At the end of filtration, chlorine decreases to a safe level. This is alum's workplace. Condensation is basically to mix alum and water
