    Water Treatment Plant with RO for Mineral

    Water
    By Rahul Khedgaonkar
    Steps and Equipment involved in the plant:
    Pretreatment:
    • Chlorine Dosing System
    • Raw Water Pump
    • Multi Media Filter
    • Activated Carbon Filter
    • Softeners

    Post Treatment:
    • Micron filter:
    A)Bag Filters
    B)Cartridge Filters
    • Antiscalant Dosing
    • High Pressure Pump
    • Reverse Osmosis Unit
    • UV Sterilization System
    • Storage tank
    Chlorine Dosing System
    • Chlorine Dosing is done at the primary
    storage tank stage.
    • It is a process which usually requires 2-3
    hrs and later this water is sent for
    pretreatment process.
    • Chlorine dosing is done for killing the
    harmful bacteria present in the water but
    as this chlorine can be harmful for the
    body
    • Later this is removed through ACF in
    pretreatment.
    Multi Media Filtration(MMF)

    Multimedia Filters consist of a


    cylinder which is 80% occupied
    with pebbles, coarse silex, fine
    silex and sand. The proportion
    of the constituents are as
    follows:
    Pebbles- 20%
    Coarse Silex- 10%
    Fine Silex- 10%
    Sand-60%
    MMF provides filtration up to
    20 microns.
    Backwash, Rinse and Filter cycles of MMF
    Activated Carbon Filters
    • Activated Carbon filtering is a
    method of filtering that uses a bed
    of activated carbon to remove
    contaminants and impurities,
    using chemical adsorption.
    • Activated carbon works via a
    process called adsorption,
    whereby pollutant molecules in
    the fluid to be treated are trapped
    inside the pore structure of the
    carbon substrate.
    • This is mainly done to trap all the
    chlorine content present in the
    water due to chlorine dosing.
    Softeners
    • Softeners, as the name suggests is
    used for softening the raw hard
    water by removing the dissolved
    salts like calcium and magnesium
    which increase the hardness thus
    making it unsuitable for drinking .
    • In this process Ca++ and Mg++
    ions are replaced by Na+ and K+
    ions which reduces the hardness
    levels.
    • Then regeneration process is used
    for recharging of the softeners.
    Micron Filters

    • Micron filter range in filtration from 0.1 to 10 microns.


    • These filters come in two types :
    a) Bag Filters b) Cartridge Filter
    Antiscalant Dosing

    The main objectives of antiscalant dosing are to effectively control


    scales including:
    • Calcium carbonate
    • Calcium sulphate
    • Barium sulphate
    • Strontium sulphate
    • Calcium fluoride
    • Iron, colloidal material, silica, and other organic and inorganic
    contaminants.
    These contaminants cause scaling during the RO process which
    damages the membrane reducing its life.
    Reverse Osmosis Unit
    • Reverse osmosis (RO) is a water purification technology
    that uses a semipermeable membrane to
    remove ions, molecules, and larger particles from drinking
    water.
    • Reverse osmosis requires a higher pressure for operation
    therefore an HPP is used to overcome the osmotic
    pressure.
    • It consists of a semi-permeable membrane which allows
    only the solvent to pass through it.
    • The following figure shows the membrane of the RO units
    and how it functions.
    • RO cannot be cleaned using backwash or regeneration so it
    has to be replaced after a particular period of time.
    RO Membrane
    Ultraviolet Sterilizers
    • Ultraviolet germicidal
    irradiation (UVGI) is
    a disinfection method that uses
    short-wavelength ultraviolet (UV-
    C) light to kill or
    inactivate microorganisms.
    • UV light is electromagnetic
    radiation with wavelengths shorter
    than visible light. 
    • This process kills the remaining 5-
    10% bacteria and makes the water
    ready for use.
    • This sterilized water is then sent to
    storage tanks for further use.
