Experiences with the practical implementation and operation of biological nitrification for a small-scale drinking water treatment plant

The implementation and evaluation of biological nitrification as a possible treatment option for the small-scale drinking water supply of a rural Upper Austrian community was investigated. The drinking water supply of this community (average system input volume: 20 m3/d) is based on the use of deep anaerobic groundwater with a high ammonium content of geogenic origin (up to 5 mg/l) which must be treated to prevent the formation of nitrites in the drinking water supply system. This paper describes the implementation and operation of biological nitrification despite several constraints including space availability, location and financial and manpower resources. A pilot drinking water treatment plant, including biological nitrification implemented in sand filters, was designed and constructed for a maximum treatment capacity of 1.2 m3/h. Online monitoring of selected physicochemical parameters has provided continuous treatment performance data. Treatment performance of the plant was evaluated under standard operation as well as in the case of selected malfunction events.

Remote Areas

Drinking water supply for public is big deals for the improvement of environmental and society health. An effort from the government to provide the drinking water supply is to provide a society based of drinking water treatment plant. Some obstacles that have come for the plant in remote areas are the difficulties of getting chemical material for the plant and the lack of energy supply. Drinking water treatment that use chemical materials has a big cost to provide the chemicals. Beside the high cost of treatment, the using of chemicals will harmful the drinking water, because it usually generates such carcinogenic materials. The biofiltration-ultrafiltration treatment is one of the best solutions to replace treatment plant that using chemicals. It has a low cost operation and is more safe than the water treatment that using chemicals. Generator-set (genset), a power generator that easy to get and operate, has uneconomical operation cost. By now, there were many studies proved that in remote areas, the using of Solar Power Plant is more economic than a genset. For those reasons, in this article is designed a solar powered 50 m3/Day drinking water treatment (biofiltration-ultrafiltration process). The result from the design is the solar power plant that can supply the treatment plant for 8 hours. Keywords: drinking water, solar power, genset, biofiltration, ultrafiltration.

Policy And Strategy

According to the result of the World Bank study, from 121 drinking water management projects in rural area, only 20 (16,6%) are very effective projects. A lot of drinking water management in developing country, including Indonesia is not running well. One of the reasons of this problem is that community did not take part in developing and managing drinking water treatment plant. A right policy and strategy could overcome the problem and give an effective and sustainable of drinking water management.This paper generally explain principles and general policy in developing the drinking water treatment plant and how to apply the strategies, therefore that it is running well and the are will being of the community sustainable.There is also an example, a case study about small-scale drinking water treatment plant in a fisherman village, Sungai Liat, Province Bangka-Belitung where the community took part in every stage of building it.

Surface Water Treatment

During Autumn 1982, many consumers complained in Paris about a musty taste. Complaints were located only in a quarter of Paris which was supplied by a surface water treatment plant. The experiments and tests have shown that this taste appeared only in the network. Musty taste was detected neither on the river nor at the outlet of the plant. Some hypotheses have been made and experiments have been conducted later because this episode of complaints stopped suddenly. It appeared that some chlorophenols were produced in the plant. These compounds were biomethylated further by fungi in the network leading to chloroanisole which give a musty taste detectable a very low concentration.

Supply Planning

Techno Park regional development in order to increase regional competitiveness based on innovation and knowledge (konwledge based economy) requires infrastructure that can meet basic human needs, such as drinking water supply for the community. Techno Park region Pelalawan, Riau province located in the peat so that most of the water source is brownish and contains peat. While surface water sources such as rivers Kampar located far from the region. Therefore, to overcome the problems of water supply for the people who will live in the region need to be prepared water supply planning. Early stages of development is focused on the areas of education and research zone so that planning for water supply will also be prioritized in both these zones. Has calculated the drinking water needs based on projected population and water demand standard in these locations. Planning of water treatment plant will conduct in 5 stages yearly so that development is more economic with design capacity of 5 l / sec in 2033. Alternative sources of raw water are from Kampar river or groundwater that is used if transmission pipeline from the Kapuas river has not ben constructed. Technology of drinking water treatment with ultrafiltration processes that are environmentally friendly will be applied to meet the water needs of society. Transmission pipelines is planned of 15 inches diameter laying in parallel with lane highway from Kampar River ( location intake BPAB ) to the water treatment plant in the education zone .
