CHAPTER 1
1.1 INTRODUCTION

In this project we Plan a Water Treatment Plant in sawantwadi city because Clean
water is a basic human necessity. As the population grows, it increased the demand for
clean and safe water. Water treatment is any process that improves the quality of water to
make it appropriate for a specific end-use. The end use may be drinking, industrial water
supply, irrigation, river flow maintenance, water recreation or many other uses, including
being safely returned to the environment. Water treatment removes contaminants and
undesirable components, or reduces their concentration so that the water becomes fit for
its desired end-use. This treatment is crucial to human health and allows humans to benefit
from both drinking and irrigation use.

Treatment for drinking water production involves the removal of contaminants

and/or inactivation of any potentially harmful microbes from raw water to produce water
that is pure enough for human consumption without any short term or long term risk of any
adverse health effect. Reactive chemical agents like suspended solids are used in the
process of purification of water. These agents help in removing bacteria, viruses, algae,
fungi, iron, and manganese.

We design a water treatment plant which follows steps of screeing, aeration,

sedimentation,filtration, disinfection of an requreid capacity of each unit. It make the raw
water portable for drinking purpose.It supply water to Sawantwadi and surrounding area.
Main objective is to remove the impure residuals of the water to make it accessible for
drinking. Water treatment plants are responsible for collecting, treating, and distributing
supplies of water, whether for residential, commercial, or industrial uses.

2.2.Name of article : Overview of the Main Disinfection Processes for Wastewater and
Drinking Water Treatment Plants

Date of published : 31 december 2017

An overview of the main disinfection processes for wastewater and drinking water
was presented in this work. Despite the availability of many disinfection processes based on
different action mechanisms, the conventional processes, which are consolidated
technologies, represent the most used treatments. Nowadays, chlorine-based disinfectants
are commonly used . (mainly due to their efficiency, low cost and easy use), despite the fact
that they may bring by-products to the disinfection process.

The natural disinfection processes could represent valuable solutions, due in

particular to the absence of chemical reagents. Moreover, the advanced technologies are
very interesting but they are still in the research state. Several strategies aiming to avoid or
reduce the use of chemical reagents (especially chlorine) have already been studied. Despite
the advantages of these methods, several aspects (e.g., reliability and applicability to large-
scale water treatment plant, costs, etc.) restrict the use of these technologies on an
industrial scale. In future perspectives, the role of disinfection treatment should be taken
into account due to the control of emerging contaminants (i.e., protozoa, which are not
currently regulated in Italy). Moreover, ongoing research will lead to a deeper knowledge in
emerging contaminants and DBPs; thus, the use of alternative technologies, such as
membrane filtration and UV-based processes, will increase. Finally, the multi-step
disinfection concept, that is, the application of disinfection process not only as final stage,
could represent an interesting solution in order to reduce the production of DBPs and to
improve the removal of microorganisms.

CHAPTER 4 -WORKING PROCESS

4.1.1 Determination of Ph value.

Determination of Ph is one of the important objectives considered in evaluation of

quality of water source to be used for drinking water supply. The Ph level of water measure
how acidic it is (Ph stand for potential hydroden,referring to how much hydrogen is mixed
with the water.) 7 is a balanced Ph for water. Ph is important in various treatment processes
of water i.e. coagulation and chlorination . It is also important for corrosion control, removal
of Iron and Manganese as well in softing of water.

The specification of a pH test generally involves the method used to measure the acidity or
alkalinity of a solution. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14, with:

 pH 7 being neutral (e.g., pure water).

 pH less than 7 being acidic.

pH greater than 7 being alkaline (basic).

4.2.1. Determination of Turbidity in Water Sample

Turbidity is the degree to which a transparent liquid scatters light, usually a measure
of the amount of suspended material in the liquid. Even after settlement of heavy particles,
small tiny particles remain in suspension and water appears turbid. These suspended solid
and colloidal particles cause turbidity in water. Turbid water can indicate the presence of
high bacteria levels, pathogens, or particles that can shelter harmful organisms. To decide
quantum of further treatments i.e. chemical coagulation, clariflocculation, filtration,
disinfection; turbidity of water is important. Therefore water treatment plants constantly
monitor turbidity levels to ensure that the water does not exceed permissible

 YASHWANTRAO BHONSALE INSTITUDE OF TECHNOLOGY { WATER TREATMENT PLANT IN
SAWANTWADI CITY }

4.2.2.Procedure

Calibration of the Turbidity Meter:

 Turn on the turbidity meter and ensure it's set to NTU (Nephelometric Turbidity
Units) mode.
 Prepare calibration standards: Use standard Formazin turbidity solutions (e.g., 0
NTU, 10 NTU, 100 NTU, etc.).

Procedure for Calibration:

 Calibrate with standard solutions: Place the standard 100 NTU solution in ph meter
Wait for the reading to stabilize and then calibrate the meter to this known turbidity
value. Check the calibration: After calibration, the meter should read the correct
values for each standard solution. If readings are not as expected, recalibrate as
needed.

Measuring the Turbidity of the Sample:

 Prepare the sample: Take the sample water you wish to measure. Make sure it is
well mixed and free from large particles or air bubbles, as these can affect the
accuracy of the reading.
 Fill the sample container: Pour the sample water into the turbidity meter's sample
cell up to the indicated line (usually around half full). Ensure there are no air bubbles
in the cell as this could lead to erroneous readings.
 Place the sample in the meter: Insert the sample container (or the turbidity probe,
depending on the type of meter) into the meter’s designated holder. Make sure the
sample is oriented properly to allow light to pass through or be scattered in the
correct manner.
 Take the reading: Close the lid (if applicable) and wait for the reading to stabilize.
The turbidity meter will display the turbidity level in NTU on the screen.
 Record the value: Once the reading stabilizes, record the turbidity value as shown on
the digital display. Some meters will automatically store the readings for later
reference.

Conclusion

In rainy season turbidity of water goes about 600/700 mg/l or ppm. During the rainy season,
the turbidity of water often increases significantly, which can have a considerable effect on
the operation of water treatment plants. Turbidity refers to the cloudiness or haziness of
water caused by suspended particles such as soil, organic matter, algae, and other
pollutants. The increased turbidity during the rainy season poses several challenges for
water treatment plants (WTPs).

4.3.1.Chlorine test

Chlorine and chlorine-based disinfectants are used worldwide to destroy germs in drinking
water. One of the reasons for the widespread use of chlorine disinfectants is that they
provide a "residual" level of protection against waterborne pathogens. Chlorine residual is a
low level of chlorine remaining in water after its initial application. It constitutes an
important safeguard against the risk of subsequent microbial contamination after treatment
a unique and significant benefit for public health.

The presence of free residual chlorine in drinking water is correlated with the absence of
disease-causing organisms, and thus is a measure of the potability of water.
