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.
-

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.

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.

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
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
-

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

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:
Mechanical straining
Sedimentation
Biological action
Electrolytic action
Types of FiltersSlow sand filter
Rapid sand filterRapid gravity filter
Pressure filter
(a) Typical gradation of a rapid sand filter bed. Solids
removal occurs primarily by straining action at the
top of the sand bed.
(b)Typical coarse-to-fine gradation in a mixed-media

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

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

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.

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).

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

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.

102/103
Advanced wastewater treatment is defined as additional treatment
needed to remove suspended, colloidal, and dissolved constituents
remaining after conventional secondary treatment. Dissolved
constituents may range from relatively simple inorganic ions, such as
calcium, potassium, sulfate, nitrate, and phosphate, to an ever-
increasing number of highly complex synthetic organic compounds.
