    Necessity

    The purpose of water treatment systems is to removeexisting contaminants in the water, or reduce theconcentration of such contaminants to make water moreacceptable for a desired end-use

    The purpose of water treatment systems is to bring rawwater up to drinking water quality, for safe domestic,agricultural and industrial uses

    Wastewater treatment is the process of removing

    contaminants from wastewater and household sewage,both runoff (effluents) and domestic to produce a wastestream (or treated effluent) and a solid waste or sludgesuitable for discharge or reuse back into the environment

    The particular type of treatment equipment required

    to meet these standards will depend to some extent

    on the source of water.

    Surface water tends to have more turbidity and amuch greater chance of microbial contamination, so

    filtration is almost always a necessity.

    Groundwater, on the other hand, is uncontaminated

    and has relatively little suspended solids, so filtrationis less important. Groundwater, however, may have

    objectionable dissolved gases that need to be

    removed, and hardness removal is usually needed.

    Wastewater Treatment and Reuse

    The various pollutants entering an ecosystem through wastewater may belong to

    one of the following three groups:

    Degradable

    Degradable pollutants include complex organic substances (e.g.

    sewage or industrial wastes) and dead organisms which can

    undergo gradual microbial decomposition.

    Non-degradable (conservative)Non-degradable substances are those which are inert

    to biological action and do not degrade with time. These include

    inorganic chemicals (e.g. chlorides), heavy metals ( e.g. mercury,

    lead), and certain refractory organics [e.g. polychloride biphenyles

    (PCB), DDT etc.]

    Biological accumulative (persistent)

    Biologically accumulative substances are those that tend to

    accumulate in the food chain. They include mercury, cadmium,

    arsenic, lead, manganese, pesticides, radioactive isotopes, and

    others.

    Water Demand and QuantityBefore designing a proper water works project, it is essential to determine the

    quantity of water that is required daily. This involves the determination of the

    following items:

    (1). Population determination

    Normally, a design period of 20 to 40 years is selected. What will be the

    population at the end of the design period, is the basic question. This can beachieved by using various methods for population forecast.

    (2). Rate of demand

    The water consumption in a city may be conveniently divided into the

    following categories: (i) domestic (ii) trade (iii) agricultural (iv) public and (v)

    losses. The total consumption of water depends upon several factors, such as

    climatic condition, cost of water, living standards of the inhabitants, pressure in

    the pipeline, type of supply etc. The total quantity of water required divided by

    the total population gives per capita water demand.

  • 7/30/2019 X Water and Wastewater Treatment Modified

    19/103

    The essential elements of water demand include average daily water

    consumption and peak rate of demand. Average daily water

    consumption must be estimated for two reasons:

    (1) to determine the ability of the water source to meet continuing

    demand over critical periods when surface flows are low or

    groundwater tables are at minimum elevation, and

    (2) for purposes of estimating quantities of stored water that would

    satisfy demands during these critical periods.

  • 7/30/2019 X Water and Wastewater Treatment Modified

    20/103

    While planning a water supply scheme, it is necessary to find out not only the

    total yearly water demand but also to assess the required average rates of flow

    (or drafts) and the variations in the rates. The following quantities are,

    therefore, generally assessed and recorded:

    Total annual volume (V) in litres or million litres.

    Annual average rates of draft in litres per day, i.e., V/365.

    Annual average rates of draft in litres per day per person (i.e., litres

    per capita per day or lpcd), called per capita demand (q)

    Average rates of draft in litres per day per service, i.e.,

    (V/365) x (1/no. of services)

    Fluctuations in flows expressed in terms of percentage ratio of

    maximum or minimum yearly, monthly, daily or hourly rates to their

    corresponding average values.

    V i ti i R t f D d

  • 7/30/2019 X Water and Wastewater Treatment Modified

    21/103

    Variation in Rate of Demand

    The average daily per capita consumption is obtained by dividing the quantity of water supplied

    during the year by the number of days in the year and number of persons served. This per capita

    consumption or demand varies not only from year to year season to season, but more important

    from day to day and hour to hour. These variations are expressed as percentage of the annual

    average daily consumption. Some common values are as under:

    Maximum seasonal consumption: 130% of annual average daily rate of demand.

    Maximum monthly consumption: 140% of annual average daily rate of demand.

    Maximum daily consumption: 180% of annual average daily consumption.

    Maximum hourly consumption: 150% of average for the day.

    A convenient formula for estimating consumption is give by R. O. Goodrich:

    p = 180t-0.10

    where p = percentage of annual average consumption for time t days from 2/24 to

    360

    Intakes

  • 7/30/2019 X Water and Wastewater Treatment Modified

    24/103

    Intakes

    Intakes are the structures used for admitting water from the surface sources

    (i.e., river, reservoir or lake), and conveying it further to the treatment plant.

    Generally, an intake is a masonry or concrete structure with an aim of providingrelatively clean water, free from pollution, sand and objectionable floating

    material.

    Types of Intakes:

    Submerged intake

    Exposed intake

    Wet intake

    Dry intakeRiver intake

    Reservoir intake

    Lake intake

    Canal Intake

  • 7/30/2019 X Water and Wastewater Treatment Modified

    25/103

    A water intake consists of the following components:

    Intake structure

    A conduit with protection works

    Inlets

    Screens or gratings

    Gates and valves to regulate the flow

    The type of design of an intake structure depends on

    - the source of supply (whether river, canal or

    impounding reservoir)

    - the depth of water at currents, flood level and low water

    level of the source

    SEDIMENTATION

    Most of the impurities suspended in water possess the specific gravity greaterthan that of water, i.e., unity (1.0). These are held in suspension due to

    turbulence in water. When this turbulence is retarded by offering storage to the

    water, the suspended matter tends to settle down at the bottom of the tank.

    Theory of Sedimentation

    The settlement of a particle in water, when brought to rest, is opposed by the

    following factors:

    Velocity of flow

    Viscosity of water

    Size, shape, and specific gravity of the particle

  • 7/30/2019 X Water and Wastewater Treatment Modified

    34/103

    The settling velocity of a spherical particle is expressed by Stokes law, which

    takes the three factors into account. The final Stokes is expressed as:

    for d < 0.1 mm ----- (3)

    [for viscous flow and small sized

    particles, represented by Re < 0.5]

    where Vs = velocity of settlement of particles in mps

    (assumed to be spherical)

    d = diameter of the particle in m

    Ss = Specific gravity of the particle

    = kinematic viscosity of water in m2/s

    Re = Reynolds Number = Vs .d/

    Sedimentation with coagulation Colloidal particles removed by changing them into flocculated

    particles by coagulants in sedimentation tank

    Coagulation is the chemical process which destabilize the

    charged or colloidal particles

    Flocculation is the slow mixing which promotes the

    agglomeration of the stabilized particles to form floc

    Chemicals used as coagulant: Ferrous sulfate, ferric chloride,

    ferric sulphate, alum (aluminium sulphate), sodium aluminate

    Chemical are effective in alkaline water, hence water is made

    alkaline with addition of sodium carbonate/lime

    FiltrationFiltration involves the removal of suspended particles from the

    water by passing it through a layer or bed of a porous granular

    material, such as sand. As the water flows through the filter bed,the suspended particles become trapped within the pore spaces of

    the filter material, orfilter media, as it is called.

    During filtration, the turbidity and colloidal matter of non-

    settleable type are removed. It precipitates the color, and thechemical characteristics of water are changed.

    The bacterial content of water is considerably reduced due to the

    presence of an active zoological layer on the top of the filteringmaterial.

    Theory of Filtration

    When water is filtered through the bedof filter media, usually consisting of

    clean sand, following actions take

    place:

  • 7/30/2019 X Water and Wastewater Treatment Modified

    80/103

    In attached growth processes, the microorganisms responsible for the conversion

    of organic material or nutrients are attached to an inert packing material. The

    organic material and nutrients are removed from the wastewater flowing past the

    attached growth also known as a biofilm. Packing materials used in attachedgrowth processes include rock, gravel, slag, sand, redwood, and a wide range of

    plastic and other synthetic materials. Attached growth processes can also be

    operated as aerobic or anaerobic processes.

    Attached growth processes can be grouped into three general classes:

    nonsubmerged attached growth processes

    suspended growth processes with fixed-film packing

    submerged attached growth aerobic processes

  • 7/30/2019 X Water and Wastewater Treatment Modified

    85/103

    The original design model for rock trickling filters was developed by the National

    Research Council (NRC) in the early 1940s at military installations. The NRC

    formulations were based on field data for BOD removal efficiency and the

    organic loading rate.

    For a single-stage or first-stage rock filter, the NRC equation is

    ------- (1)

    where E1= BOD removal efficiency for first-stage filter at 20oC, including

    recirculation, percent

    ----- (2)

    where F = recirculation factor

    R = recycle ratio, unitless

    The recirculation factor represents the average number of passes of the influent organic matter

    through the filter. The factor R/10 accounts for the fact that the benefits of recirculation

    decrease as the number of passes increase. Recycle ratio used generally vary from 0 to 2.0.

    For a two-stage trickling filter system the BOD removal efficiency of the second stage is given as

    Role of Microorganisms in Wastewater Treatment

    ( )

  • 7/30/2019 X Water and Wastewater Treatment Modified

    89/103

    Microorganisms are used to oxidize (i.e., convert) the dissolved and particulate

    carbonaceous organic matter into simple end products and additional biomass,

    as represented by the following equation for the aerobic biological oxidation of

    organic matter.

    v1 (organic material) + v2O2 + v3NH3 + v4 PO43-

    v5(new cells) + v6(CO2) + v7H2O ---- 1

    where vi = the stoichiometric coefficient

    In Eq. (1), oxygen (O2), ammonia (NH3), and phosphate (PO43-) are used to

    represent the nutrients needed for the conversion of the organic matter to simpleend products [i.e., carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).

    Microbial Growth Kinetics Terminology

  • 7/30/2019 X Water and Wastewater Treatment Modified

    90/103

    The biomass solids in a bioreactor are commonly measured

    As total suspended solids (TSS) and volatile suspended solids (VSS). The mixture

    of solids resulting from combined recycled sludge with influent wastewater in

    the bioreactor is termed mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) and mixed liquor

    volatile suspended solids (MLVSS).

    The solids are comprised of biomass, nonbiodegradable volatile suspended

    solids (nbVSS), and inert inorganic total suspended solids (iTSS). The nbVSS is

    derived from the influent wastewater and is also produced as cell debris from

    endogenous respiration. The iTSS originates in the influent wastewater.

    Modeling Suspended Growth Treatment Processes

  • 7/30/2019 X Water and Wastewater Treatment Modified

    91/103

    All biological treatment reactor designs are based on using mass

    balances across a defined volume for each specific constituent of

    interest (i.e., biomass, substrate, etc.).

    The mass balance includes the flowrates for the mass of the

    constituent entering and/or leaving the system and appropriate

    reaction rate terms for the depletion or production of the constituent

    with in the system.
