Water Consumption
Water provided for human consumption requirestreatment in order to make it• safe (potable)• pleasant to taste (palatable)
Modern technology offers remarkable capabilitiesto accomplish these goals• introduction of new and different pollutants• cost of treating to required levels is a challenge
for the water supply industry
Water Treatment Plants 4
Water Demand
• Municipal water supplies are treated tobe both palatable and potable,regardless of their intended use
• If each person uses about 100 litres ofwater per day
• Commercial and industrial users mayincrease that demand by more than 5times

Drinking Water - Quality
Our water supply comes from two sources
• surface waters i.e. rivers, lakes and reservoirs
• groundwater, which is stored below the earth's surface
Each source presents its own problems
• Surface water has elevated levels of soil particles and algae, making the water turbid
• may contain pathogens
• Groundwater has higher levels of dissolved organic matter (yellow color) and minerals such as iron
• Both sources may have high levels of calcium and magnesium (hardness)
• both can be contaminated by toxic chemicals

Screening
• Removes large solidslogs
branches
rags
fish
• Simple processmay incorporate a mechanized trash removal system
• Protects pumps and pipes in Water Treatment Plants
Water Treatment Plants 11
Coagulation
• Small particles are not removed efficiently by sedimentation because they settle too slowly
• they may also pass through filters
• easier to remove if they are clumped together
• Coagulated to form larger particles, but they don'tbecause they have a negative charge
• repel each other (like two north poles of a magnet)
• In coagulation• we add a chemical such
as alum which produces positive charges to neutralize the negative charges on the particles
• particles can stick together• forming larger particles • more easily removed• process involves addition of
chemical (e.g. alum) • rapid mixing to dissolve the
chemical• distribute it evenly
throughout water
Water Treatment Plants 12
Coagulants
• Aluminum Sulfate Al2(SO4)3
• Ferrous Sulfate FeSO4
• Ferric Sulfate Fe2(SO4)3
• Ferric Chloride FeCl3• Lime Ca(OH)2
Aluminum salts arecheaper but iron salts aremore effective over widerpH range
Factors for choosing a coagulant?1. Easily available in all
dry and liquid forms2. Economical 3. Effective over wide
range of pH4. Produces less sludges5. Less harmful for
environment6. Fast
Water Treatment Plants 13
Flocculation
• Now the particles have a neutralcharge
• can stick together
• The water flows into a tank withpaddles that provide slow mixing
• bring the small particlestogether to form largerparticles called flocs
• Mixing is done quite slowly andgently in the flocculation step
• If the mixing is too fast, theflocs will break apart into smallparticles that are difficult toremove by sedimentation orfiltration.
Water Treatment Plants 14
Sedimentation
• water flows to a tank called asedimentation basin
• gravity causes the flocs tosettle to the bottom
• Large particles settle morerapidly than small particles
• It would take a very long timefor all particles to settle outand that would mean we wouldneed a very large sedimentationbasin.
• So the clarified water, withmost of the particles removed,moves on to the filtration stepwhere the finer particles areremoved
Water Treatment Plants 15
Filtration
• The filtration apparatus is a concrete box which contains sand (which does the filtering), gravel (which keeps the sand from getting out) and underdrain (where the filtered water exits)
• After the filter is operated for a while, the sand becomes clogged with particles and must be backwashed
• Flow through the filter is reversed and the sand and particles are suspended
• The particles are lighter than the sand, so they rise up and are flushed from the system. When backwashing is complete, the sand settles down onto the gravel, flow is reversed and the process begins again

Disinfection
• With particles removed, it only remains to provide disinfection, so that no pathogens remain in the water
• Protozoan pathogens are large in size and have been removed with other particles
• Bacteria and viruses are now destroyed by addition of a disinfectant
Chlorination• Enough chlorine is added so that
some remains to go out in the water distribution system, protecting the public once the water leaves the plant
Water Treatment Plants 19
Softening
• Areas where water comes into contact with limestone, there may be high levels of calcium and magnesium present
• these chemicals make the water "hard"
• Hardness is removed by a process called softening
• Two chemicals (lime, CaO and soda ash, Na2CO3 ) are added to water
• causing the calcium and magnesium to form precipitates
• solid substance is then removed with the other particles by sedimentation and filtration
Water Treatment Plants 20
Synthetic Organic Chemicals
• Water supplies can be contaminated with synthetic organic chemicals (SOCs) from agricultural runoff or commercial and industrial sources
• such as the leaking underground storage tank
• These chemicals are not efficiently removed by the simple water treatment process
• These chemicals can be removed by passing the water through a layer of activated carbon in a column
• The carbon granules strongly attract organic chemicals removing them from the water by a process called adsorption
• When the carbon is full and can't hold any more chemical, it is removed from the column, heated to burn off contaminants and can then be re-used.
Water Treatment Plants 21
Distribution
• Pumping of the clean water produced at the treatment plant to the community is called distribution
• This can be done directly or by first pumping the water to reservoirs or water storage tanks
Water Treatment Plants 22
Onsite TreatmentColor, Taste and Odor
• The activated carbon technology used in municipal drinking water treatment can be applied in homes as well
• the carbon is contained in a "household-sized" column
• water passes through the carbon removing organic matter (which can cause a yellow color) and also compounds which cause unpleasant taste and odor
Water Treatment Plants 23
Onsite TreatmentAt The Tap
• Home water treatment systems may also be installed at the tap
• Although the technologies vary somewhat among products, they typically include pre-filtration
• hardness and metals removal by ion exchange
• organic matter removal with activated carbon
• post-filtration

Filter Backwashing• Conventional backwashing system includes• Compressed air• Air and Water• Water• Approximate time 12 to 20 minutes
Water Treatment Plants 39
Filter Backwash
• Sand is backwashed when• It becomes clogged• Turbidity of filtered water gets too high
• During backwash, water is pumped upwards through the sand bed
• Sand becomes “fluidized”, and particles are flushed from the sand
• Dirty backwash water is pumped into a settling pond and either• Recycled back into plant or• Disposed
• Backwashing can consume 1% to 5% of a plant’s production

Components
Disinfection or Chlorination• Liquid chlorine is used for this purpose• dosage rate varies from 1.5 to 2.0 mg chlorine per
liter of water• depending upon the level of contamination, pH, and
temperature• ensuring the residual chlorine upto 0.3-0.5 mg/l.
Lime Dosing• last unit process applied at Rawal Lake water
filtration plant• lime is used to adjust the pH of water
Water Treatment Plants 43
Disadvantages of Chlorination
Chlorine is a dangerous chemical because1. it irritates the respiratory system2. it irritates the eyes3. can form Trihalomethanes, THMs, which are possible
carcinogens
Other disinfectant chemicalsOzone gas (O3)Ultraviolet light (UV)
Not as desirable becauseMore expensive than chlorineCan’t maintain a residual concentration
