Performance Evaluation of Water Treatment Plant at Motijheel, Gwalior
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
The conventional water Treatment plant, especially in developing countries faces major challenges in term of assessing its operation and performance due to inappropriate technologies, insufficient equipment and deficiency in skilled expertise [1]. According to Central Pollution Control Board , most of the earth is sea water. About 2.5% of the water is fresh water that does not contain significant levels of dissolved minerals or salt and two third of that is frozen in ice caps and glaciers. In total only 0.01% of the total water of planet is accessible for consumption. The objective of water treatment plant is to treat the polluted water and make it fit for the human consumption. Performance evaluation of water treatment plant is an essential parameter to be monitored and evaluated for the better understanding of design and operating difficulties in water treatment plant[2]. The main source of water in Gwalior is Tigra Dam. It is constructed on Sank river. The water is supplied from Tigra Dam to Motijheel water Treatment plant. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of water treatment plant at Motijheel Gwalior. In this study during the period of five month (January, February, march, April, May) samples were collected twice in a month from different units of water treatment plant and analysis of physical, Chemical and Bacteriological parameters were done. The analysis followed the standard methods on the basis of Bureau of Indian standard IS-10500, 2012. It has been found that Suspended solids is 32-60 mg/l in Raw water and after filtration, it remain in range of 5-15 mg/l. Turbidity is about 1.5-2 NTU in Raw water and after filtration it remain only 0.2-0.6 NTU. MPN in Raw water is about 4-15/100 ml and after filtration it lies in range 0-3/100ml and after chlorination MPN totally removed from drinking water. The Dissolved oxygen of raw water get reduced during the month of April-May, it change from 6.89mg/l to 4.86 mg/l, also the problem of Yellowish colour of raw water arise due to decomposition of green Algae. This can be improved by doing Aeration, adding chlorine in raw water and putting charcoal or coke on screening units. Generally, it is found that most of the parameters are within the range of Indian Standard of IS-10500, 2012 and hence water release from water treatment plant at Motijheel Gwalior is safe for drinking.
