google terms in quote locked pairs. single words need no quotes and then drill down by adding more + words

"Reverse Osmosis "

"Ultra Filtration "

"Nano Filtration "

"Micron Filtration "

"Electro De-lonizers "

Membrane

"Ultra Violet "

Ozonizers

and adding them in pairs like this:-

"Ultra Violet " +Ozonizers

I agree.
I have spent the last 6 years since retirement lookin into water treatment and water purification. I've spent time designing, building, testing and installing water purification systems in 3rd world rural villages, as well as drilling water wells. I suggest that the best way to approach the subject is to google the terms you listed and start reading... After a few days of study it will all amke sense, then you go with it. Btw, there is a need for qualified EE's to aid in designing the electrical circuits for many of the smaller installation.

The internet is a wonderful resourse for all kind of information. Use <Google.com> to make inquiries.

In addition to the various items you listed you will have to understand the chemistry of water and its relation to water treatment for multiple uses.

Your work is laid out for you.

Google anodic oxidation and you will have enough to study for some time. There will be no freebies. All information is held close to the chest. For me it is the only really efficient way to treat water and keep it resistant to new contamination longer than any other method. For you, being an electrical engineer, it should be a breeze to follow through. Good luck. Ky.

You may want to borrow water treatment book from library or buy books from website site (such as www.amazon.com) to study the various type of water treatment methods.

You can look out for sewage and water treatment on wikipedia , on internet through google just typing any word you sorted will give result. Being electrical engineer you must look out for machineries involved

Forgot all about ozone treatment. Google will help in that case as well. Boy you are going to be busy. All the best. Ky.

Water engineering is too wide a field to be answered here except for specific questions. As an electrical engineer, you may want to focus on subjects such as electrodeionization (EDI) & electrodialysis (EDI without the DI), electrocoagulation, UV sterilization & disinfection and ozonization first as you will be more familiar with the calculations involved.

Subjects such as RO & other filtration techniques require a fair bit of knowledge on mechanical engineeering, so you want to study up on those topics as well before tackling them. Finally, water treatment systems require electrical power & control systems, so you may find your niche there as well.

Entering any of these words into the Wikipedia front page, or any search engine, will give a number of directions for further reading. Please be aware that there is never a single, simple solution for producing any given product water from any given inlet water and that each situation must be considered individually.
