Philosophy
VA TECH WABAG
WATER TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY
The raw water in this scheme undergo the following treatment
steps so that it can be used for the purpose of drinking water.
1) Aeration
2) Pre-chlorination
3) Alum and Lime dosing
4) Flocculation
5) Clarification
6) Filtration
7) Post-chlorination
VA TECH WABAG
AERATION
The primary objectives of aeration of raw water are,
to expel dissolved gases such as Carbon Dioxide and volatile substances
that cause taste and odour.
to increase Dissolved Oxygen of raw water.
to precipitate Iron and Manganese from their soluble form to insoluble
form.
CHLORINATION
The primary objectives of the pre chlorination of raw water are:
to control the growth of algae and other microorganisms that might
interfere with coagulation and flocculation and to reduce the coagulant
dose.
keeping filter media free of slime growths and mud balls which not only
impair the filtration efficiency but also interfere with proper backwashing.
VA TECH WABAG
CHLORINATION (Contd.)
Chlorine is used
Due to its oxidizing effect on organic matter and
Its germicidal effect in killing germs and viruses.
Chlorine gas when dissolved in water, hydrolyzes rapidly :
HOCl H+ + OCl -
At 7.5 pH, the undissociated hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and the hypochlorite
ion (OCl -) is 50:50. The lower the pH values, the amount of HOCl becomes
proportionately higher which has germicidal efficiency better than the OCl –
ions.
The raw water supply is from Narmada river and its pH range is 6.5 to
8.5 and the pH of raw water is mostly expected to be around 7.0 which is
conducive for the predominant presence of HOCl ions which in turn
ensure effective chlorination.
VA TECH WABAG
FLASH MIXING
Unit comprises of two circular concentric tanks viz. inner tank where
flocculation is happening and outer tank where settling is happening.
Principle of clariflocculation
VA TECH WABAG
CLARIFLOCCLATION (contd.)
The most significant design aspect is the available settling area, since the
throughput (m3/h) divided by the tank area (m2) must not exceed the settling
velocity of the slowest settling particle to be separated – usually to 1 to 2 m/h
SOR = flow rate through the clarifier divided by the settling area
=Q/A
VA TECH WABAG
CLARIFLOCCLATION (contd.)
Stages of clariflocculation
• Mixing of the inflow (raw water) with the reagents (Alum and lime)
• Flocculation
• Sedimentation
The raw water mixing with the reagents must be made very quickly and with a
strong stirring. On the contrary, the flocculation must be slow in order to allow
the flocs agglomeration and any turbulent motion must be avoided.
The clarified water is then collected in the upper part through circular or radial
launders and the sludge on the tank bottom is conveyed into a sludge sump by
some scrapers.
VA TECH WABAG
CLARIFLOCCLATION (contd.)
Concept of clariflocculation
a process of contact between the pre-existing sludge and the incoming water
to obtain larger flocs which tend to sediment more easily;
There is a small, but well stirred, contact zone between the sludge and the
incoming waste water where the intimate contact is ensured.
After the intimate mixing, the period of contact is kept in a “calm” volume,
there is no narrowing so the flocs integrity is respected and they can gather and
become larger in the next calm zone.

CLARIFLOCCULATOR (contd.)
Water enters at the bottom of the central pier of the Clariflocculator and
flows through the openings in the central pier into the Flocculation zone.
After entering the Flocculation zone, the water flows into the clarifier
zone. The incoming solids get distributed whereby the flocs can enter the
clarifier zone in the outer portion and the clarified water overflow takes
place over the weirs.
Clarified water is directed to the overflow launders, which lead clarified
water to Rapid Gravity Filters and to Clear Water sump based on the
turbidity. Sampling point is provided in the common outlet channel of
clariflocculator.
The sludge settling on the floor of the Clariflocculators will be scrapped
by mechanical scrapper, to the central pit.
The sludge from each clarifier is discharged to the Sludge Sump,
intermittently.
A torque switch will trip the scraper mechanism due to high torque,
when there is overload or if there is any obstacle for the scraper to move.

CLARIFLOCCULATOR – CLEANING
As a matter of routine, a Clariflocculator can be isolated for cleaning of
overflow launders, once a week, deteriorating the quality of clarified
water.
Before isolating the Clariflocculator that is to be cleaned, ensure the
other Clariflocculator and its connected Flash Mixer are in service.
Then isolate the Clarifier selected for cleaning by closing the
corresponding outlet gate of Flash Mixer.
Keep the paddles and scraper mechanism running.
Schedule the cleaning programme preferably when there is no much of
sunshine.
Deploy two labourers for the cleaning task.
Equip one labourer with a soft brush with a short handle and the other
with a wiper attached to a long handle.
VA TECH WABAG
CLARIFLOCCULATOR – CLEANING (contd.)
Drain the Clariflocculator so that water level falls by 100 mm, so that
washings do not get into the overflow launders.
Let them be careful not to spill the washings into the overflow launder.
Once cleaning is completed, de-sludge the Clariflocculator, every one
hour for a duration of about 5 to 10 minutes, till the water level is
lowered by about 0.7m.
In case algae patches are found on the concrete, mop them up with
chlorinated water.

clarified water from the Clariflocculator.
Ensure all the Filters for ready to take into service, to receive 195 MLD .
In the worst scenario, 13 nos. filters can be put in operation (one backwash, one drain and
one under maintenance) output of 185 MLD is possible.
Ensure the pneumatic air is available at required pressure for the operation of all the
pneumatically operated filter valves.
Keep the inlet valves to Clear Water Reservoir .
Ensure that chlorine is dosed (post-chlorination) at the inlet of Clear Water Reservoir.
Open the inlet valves of the Filters.
Stagger the schedule of bringing the Filters one after the other by fully opening the filtered
water inlet valve and allow the clarified water to filter through the beds.
Let the excess incoming clarified water overflows the weir in the Clarified water feeding
channels to the Filters, till the filtering operation is streamlined.
Let the filtered water enter the Clear Water Reservoir.
Maintain individual filter service run for 24 hours, achieving the required filtrate quality.
VA TECH WABAG
FILTERS – Start up (Contd.)
BACKWASHING MODE
When a filter clocks 24 hours service run or when its differential indicator
senses the pre set high differential head loss, filter will be taken out for
backwashing operation, while the others will continue with the filtration.
Prior to backwashing operation during start-up, ensure adequate amount of
water is available in the Backwash water Storage Tank. If adequate water to
meet the backwashing water requirement is not available, defer the
backwashing till adequate level of water builds up in Storage Tank, receiving the
filtered water from Treated Water Reservoir by pumping.
Select the Filter for backwashing, after ensuring the water level in the Dirty wash
water tank is low, to accommodate the wash water of one filter.
Do the backwashing operation of the Filters, from the dedicated Manual Wash
Control Console for each Filter.
Bring the washed filter back to service run.

FILTERS – Shut down (contd.)
COMPLETE SHUT DOWN
If it is decided to go in for complete shut down of the plant, ensure all the
filters are backwashed clean before they are isolated by closing the filter
outlet valves.
Stop chlorination
In case of making use of the complete shut down period for maintenance
of filers, the selected Filters, that have to be taken out for maintenance,
shall be drained and the drained water shall be pumped to the Dirty wash
water Collection Tank. The Filter shall be thoroughly inspected, damaged
nozzles shall be replaced and any filter media loss shall be topped up.
All the stagnant water from any units or channels shall be pumped out
using portable submersible pumps to the site drainage system.
Stop the running equipment at local and at MCC.
Ensure all the valves and gates are in close position, once the plant is
shut down.
VA TECH WABAG
COMMON PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN
FILTRATION OPERATION
The floc breakthrough may also result in short filter runs. This can be
avoided by operating the clarification section with optimum dosage of
chemicals, to ensure proper settling of flocs in the Clariflocculators.
When the head loss increases, then the Filter has to be necessarily taken
out for backwashing.
VA TECH WABAG
COMMON PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN
FILTRATION OPERATION (contd.)
Mud ball due to general buildup of materials accumulate at or near the
surface, leading to clogging of media. By proper coagulation and settling in the
clarification stage, mud ball formation could be considerably reduced. Mud ball
formation may not be experienced because of adequate design backwash rate.
However prolonged air scouring followed by higher backwash shall be used,
when mud ball formation is encountered.
Sand leakage is prevented by the careful selection of the sand size and the
size of slots in the nozzles. However, the fines that may develop due to attrition
can result in the downward migration and escape of fines with the filtered water.
The topping up of lost media have to be taken up when it exceeds 2%.
VA TECH WABAG
COMMON PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN
FILTRATION OPERATION (contd.)
Air binding and subsequent release during service may not be a problem. Do
not operate the filters with less liquid depth to overcome this problem.
Sometimes careless operation may lead to bumping or lifting of the filter beds
when resuming filtration without going through the full backwash cycle. This
practice should be discouraged as the filtrate water quality deteriorates
considerably.
When slime or algae growths are noticed on filters, increase the dosage rate of
chlorine solution to the extent required.
During air scouring if any improper distribution of air is noticed watch out for
any deterioration of filtrate quality from that particular filter in the subsequent
filtration cycles. If found beyond the acceptable levels of turbidity, then isolate the
filter and rectify the defects such as replacement of worn out nozzle, or to clean
the filter media free from stubborn choking.
