Abstract There are presented results of technological experiments carried out in Water Treatment Plant Kúty. The goal of this study was to compare modified zeolite known as clinoptilolite (rich deposits of clinoptilolite were found in the region of East Slovakia in the 1980s) with the imported modified zeolite from deposit situated in Hungary. Klinopur-Mn and Klinomangan were used for removal of iron and manganese from ground water to meet the requirements of the Regulation of the Government of the Slovak Republic No. 496/2010 on Drinking Water. The materials observed exhibit different efficiencies of manganese removal from water, since the quality of the treated water play a major role (oxygen content and pH value). In the case of the removal of the iron from the water, the quality of the raw water is not a limiting factor; both materials removed Fe from the water to below the limit value (0.20 mg.l-1).

The important of ground water is increasing in the future as a source of fresh waters; in addition, many countries contain a number of water treatment plants to treat surface water. Using conventional treatment plant in the cities to treat ground water will decrease the cost of ground water treatment and may be help to depend on both surface and ground water supplies. This paper studied the ability of treating ground water by conventional water treatment. The quality of the ground water source is studied in the mention area during study period. The chemical quality of ground water is tested and there is within the standards of drinking water except iron.  The conventional treatment was enhancing quality of treated water by increment of dissolved oxygen concentrations toward optimum value. Water treatment plant was effective for removal of iron from ground water of about 50%, in addition there is an effect of conventional treatment on sulfate removal (sulfate may be increase above standards in some ground water sources). The statistical analysis of data shows there is a correlation between quality parameters of raw and treated water and between iron and sulfate of treated water in the correlation matrix. In addition, confidence test was applied on the correlation coefficients using fisher's transformation .The analysis shows, that there is a positive period (0.244, 0.941) of confidence of 95% of correlation factors of iron and sulfate.

Приводятся основные результаты технологических изысканий, положенных в основу проекта реконструкции станции очистки подземных вод г. Ноябрьска (Ямало-Ненецкий автономный округ). Станция построена по проекту ЗАО ДАР/ВОДГЕО (Москва) и принята в постоянную эксплуатацию в сентябре 2006 г. На станции используется новая технология, предусматривающая последовательную обработку воды двумя окислителями пероксидом водорода и перманганатом калия с целью очистки от соединений железа и марганца. Недостатки проекта и неполная реализация проектных решений усложняют штатную эксплуатацию станции и затрудняют получение питьевой воды нормативного качества. Установлено, что в подземной воде присутствует сероводород в концентрациях до 0,1 мг/дм3, что требует дополнительного расхода реагентов. Ручное дозирование реагентов приводит к значительным отклонениям от необходимых доз: от 14,5 до 19,1 для пероксида водорода и от 8,5 до 9,1 для перманганата калия. Указано, что применяемые в качестве реагента технические продукты перманганата калия производства КНР создают угрозу увеличения токсичности питьевой воды. Найденное значение величины индекса Ланжелье (индекса насыщения карбонатом кальция) подземной воды (2,35 ед.) позволило сделать вывод о необходимости стабилизационной обработки путем подщелачивания. Выполненные пробные обработки воды пероксидом водорода и перманганатом калия в сочетании с подщелачиванием показали, что такой процесс обеспечивает достижение остаточных концентраций марганца 0,1 мг/дм3 и железа общего 0,10,15 мг/дм3 при отсутствии остаточного сероводорода. Однако для получения воды постоянного нормативного качества необходима высокая точность дозирования реагентов, что может быть достигнуто только путем полной автоматизации процесса. Выполненный на основе технологических изысканий проект реконструкции станции очистки подземных вод г. Ноябрьска позволяет решить существующие проблемы и обеспечить нормативное качество очищенной воды.The main results of technological surveys that form the basis for the project of reconstruction of the ground water treatment plant in Noyabrsk (Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug) are presented. The plant was built according to the project of DAR/VODGEO CJSC (Moscow) and commissioned in September 2006. The plant uses a new technology that provides for the sequential treatment of water with two oxidizing agents hydrogen peroxide and potassium permanganate to remove iron and manganese compounds. The project shortcomings and incomplete implementation of design solutions complicate the regular operation of the plant and make it difficult to ensure the standard quality of drinking water. It was stated that ground water contained hydrogen sulfide in concentrations up to 0.1 mg/dm3, which required extra consumption of chemicals. Manual dosing of chemicals causes significant deviations from the required doses: from 14.5 to 19.1 for hydrogen peroxide and from 8.5 to 9.1 for potassium permanganate. It is pointed out that crude products of potassium permanganate produced by the P. R. China used as a chemical agent in drinking water supply, pose a threat of increased toxicity of drinking water. The determined value of the Langelier index (index of saturation with calcium carbonate) of ground water (2.35 units) allowed to conclude that stabilization treatment by alkalization is required. The performed test water treatment with hydrogen peroxide and potassium permanganate in combination with alkalization showed that this process provided for achieving the residual concentrations of manganese 0.1 mg/dm3 and total iron 0.10.15 mg/dm3 in the absence of residual hydrogen sulfide. However, to produce water of constant standard quality, high accuracy of chemical dosing is required that can only be provided by completely automated dosing. The project of upgrading the ground water treatment plant in Noyabrsk designed on the basis of technological research, allows to resolve the existing problems and ensure the standard quality of drinking water.

The trans-boundary area between the Europe Union and other countries is highly susceptible to changes in water quality and variations in the potential pollution load that could influence its eco-systems significantly. The Neris (Viliya) River is one of the biggest surface water bodies in Lithuania and Belarus with an ecologically important area protected by international legislation. The study was aimed at evaluating the impacts of integrated pollution on water quality of the Neris River taking into account different storm-water flows and ecological scenarios. For this purpose, qualitative and quantitative statistical evaluation was set up and calculation was done; different integrated pollution loads of the catchment area were estimated. The evaluation considered a decrease in river discharge due to changes in the regional storm-water flow and technological development that should lead to the growing covered surface and a reduction in the untreated storm-water flows. The obtained results indicated that, in the case of storm-water treatment, the total nitrate and phosphate concentrations will decrease, while in the cases of changes in combined suspended solid, the concentration of nutrients will decrease. Thus, a trans-boundary storm-water treatment plant of the Viliya River is required as it should eliminate pollution accumulation and restore its acceptable environmental status. A coordinated international project for the entire catchment of the Neris (Viliya) River based on the specifications and requirements of the EU Water Framework Directive (EU 2000) should be developed and implemented. Subsequently, ecological river-use policies should be established at the international level, which should offer considerable perspectives for the sustainable development of the area.

Bromate formation experiments were carried out in a 100 l/h bench-scale dissolved ozone plug flow reactor (DOPFR) with natural filtered water from the drinking water treatment plant Leiduin of Amsterdam Water Supply at gross ozone dosages of 0.7–3.4 mg/l. In the DOPFR, ozone is dosed by intensively mixing a dissolved ozone water flow (side stream) with a test water flow (mainstream). The side stream is pre-treated to remove bromide and DOC and to lower the pH. For full-scale application of the DOPFR concept, it is most cost effective to apply the smallest possible side stream. This research is done to establish the effect of decreasing the ratio of the dissolved ozone side stream to the mainstream from 1:10 to 1:25, by increasing the ozone concentration and decreasing the flow of the side stream. The results show that the dosing ratio has no influence on the bromate formation in the ozone dosing range of 0.7–1.4 mg/l. The gross ozone dosages that are currently applied at the drinking water treatment plant Leiduin are 0.8–1.0 mg/l. This means that for application of dissolved ozone dosing at Leiduin the amount of ozone that can be dissolved in the side stream will be the limiting factor for the minimal flow of the dissolved ozone side stream.

This article addresses methods to adjust operating requirements in water treatment plants (WTPs) in order to increase the efficiency of water treatment plants based on the nature of the water inflows into the systems. In the past, various studies have suggested that the quality of water inflow into the WTP has an impact on the efficiency and economic viability of operating treatment plants. Among all other quality parameters, the concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO) is one of the basic indicators about the overall quality of the water. Identification of a temporal pattern can help the engineers to adapt the WTP operations and can save the unnecessary wasting of plant resources. That is why the present article has proposed a new model that can predict the temporal patterns of various chemical parameters with the help of an analytic neuronal network. The model was applied to the case of a WTP that responds to a peri-urban catchment, leading to regular variations in the DO of water inflow. According to the performance metrics utilized the model was able to predict the temporal pattern at a lag of 1 hour.

AbstractActivated Sludge Model No. 1 (ASM1) was used to model the biological stage of an actual waste water treatment plant (WWTP). Some possibilities for the utilisation of simulation programs for WWTP operation are presented. Simulation calculations were performed taking the conditions of WWTP in Nové Zámky, the Slovak Republic, into consideration, where measurements of the diurnal variations in waste water flow and composition at the inlet and outlet were carried out. A calibrated model predicting the influence of changes in the waste water composition and the operational parameters on the effluent waste water quality and related operational costs is available. Values of the operational parameters (solids retention time, internal recirculation flow, dissolved oxygen concentration) for effective operation (effluent concentration values, oxygen consumption, charges, i.e. charges for waste water discharge into the recipient water body) of the WWTP were obtained by simulations. The presented results are for illustration purposes only and are not intended as instructions for the operation of a waste water treatment plant. They correspond to the calibrated mathematical model ASM 1 based on the results of experimental measurements and operational data, as well as on the technical and monitoring level of the WWTP.

Water is one of the important components of human life or other living things. With the increasing number of residents, the need for clean water has also increased. However, this increase in demand is not offset by the availability of clean water due to the lower quality of water produced by the water treatment plant. Therefore, it is necessary to do alternative water treatment so that clean water needs can be sufficient. One method of processing clean water that can be done is the Jar test method. This study aims to determine the effect of coagulant dose addition on water quality parameters including pH, turbidity, TDS and total hardness of the Manisrejo City Madiun well water sample after water treatment. The research method is carried out through three stages, namely the preparation stage, the instrument analysis stage and the experimental stage. Where the type of coagulant used is Poly Aluminum Chloride (PAC). From the research that has been done, the optimum PAC coagulant dose is 43 mg / l. The conclusion obtained in this study is that the greater the coagulant dose added to the water sample, the smaller the pH value, the value of turbidity, the TDS value and the total hardness of the water sample.

Abstract: Water treatment plant (WTP) is essential for providing clean and safe water to the habitants. There is a necessity to evaluate the performance of (WTP) for proper treatment of raw water. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the quality of treated water by investigating the performance of Ifraz-2 (WTP) units located in Erbil City, Iraq. For assessment of the (WTP) units, samples were taken for a duration of five months from different locations: raw water (the source), post-clarification processes, post-filtration processes, and from the storage tank. Removal efficiencies for the units, and for the whole (WTP) were calculated and presented. Obtained removal efficiencies for the sedimentation unit; filtration unit; and the entire Ifraz-2 (WTP) were 91.51 %, 64.71 %, and 97.29 %, respectively. After the process of disinfection and storage, the valued of the turbidity of the treated water were ranged from 1.2 to 9.7 (Nephelometric Turbidity Units) NTU. Besides, water quality index (WQI) for the (WTP) was studied and calculated for 14 physicochemical water quality parameters. WQI for Ifraz-2 (WTP) was 51.87 and it is regarded as a good level. Also, operational problems have been detected and reported during the research period, especially during sedimentation, filtration, and disinfection. Suitable solutions have been reported to the operational team.
