Re-cap

• Introduction of water quality constituents; parameters

• Development of schematic of water treatment plants

Oxygen Demanding Wastes

Example 1: Treatment schematic

(GW� Potable drinking water)

• Raw Ground water � aeration chamber �

Softening unit � Filtration with chlorination

�Disinfection � Storage

• Guidelines for drinking water?

To remove large materials and solids

Stackelberg et al. 2004

To remove solids; coagulants addition

Stackelberg et al. 2004

September 7, 2019 9

To remove pathogens; oxidize reduced substances also

Calculate: (a)% removal; (b)partitioning of initialcompounds in finished water and in solids

For AHTN%removal =100(1-{Cfinished/Craw})

Partitioning in Finished conc. = {Cfinished/Craw}

Partitioning in solids={Csettled/Craw}

Exercise 1: Yamuna River Water �Drinking water

• Think for 5 minutes for two steps.

• Step 1: water quality characteristics determination

• Step 2: selection of units, their order

• Can you compile Yamuna watercharacteristics as per parametersmentioned earlier?

Exercise 1: Yamuna River Water �Drinking water

Say I am considering volunteering for a one-way

trip to Mars [I can send weekly updates, though!],

which requires my commitment on

optimizing/reducing my daily water consumption.

One option is to use treated wastewater for my non-

drinking activities. Which two parameters do you

suggest me to monitor before I accept the condition

and why?

Exercise 2

September 7, 2019 17

Suppose IIT Delhi water has suspended solids,

organic matter, microorganisms, hardness, and

dissolved CO2, which are problematic constituents.

Other dissolved constituents are below problem

levels. Draw a schematic diagram of a treatment

plant that will render this water potable. Identify

each unit and show points of chemical addition with

their names.
