The performance of a 480 cubic metres per day water reclamation plant was evaluated. The treatment train of this plant was sand filtration or carbon adsorption −0.45 µm cartridge filtration - reverse osmosis desalting - zeolite ion exchange deionisation. The raw water used was reclaimed sewage which had been treated by the activated sludge system and polished by chemical coagulation and flocculation, multimedia sand filtration and chlorination. After the reverse osmosis step using the spiral wound cellulose acetate membrane most of the cations, anions and heavy metals present in the water were removed.

Cellulose Acetate Membranes

Ultrafiltration cellulose acetate membrane can be transformed by annealing into reverse osmosis membranes (RO type). Annealing brings about changes in structural properties of the membranes, accompanied by changes in their permeability behaviour and electrical properties. Correlations between structure parameters and electrochemical properties are shown for the temperature range 20-90 °C. Relations have been derived which explain the role played by the dc electrical conductivity in the characterization of rejection ability of the membranes in the reverse osmosis, i.e. rRO = (1 + exp (A-B))-1, where exp A and exp B are statistically significant correlation functions of electrical conductivity and salt permeation, or of electrical conductivity and water flux through the membrane, respectively.

Curah hujan yang tinggi di Jakarta merupakan potensi yang luar biasa dan perlu dimanfaatkan. Pemanfaatan air hujan menjadi air siap minum di Gedung Dinas Pendidikan Provinsi DKI Jakarta merupakan sebuah terobosan penerapan konsep bangunan green building di daerah Ibukota DKI Jakarta. Perencanaan diawali dengan menghitung kebutuhan air minum untuk karyawan di kantor dengan kebutuhan air minum sebanyak 480 liter/hari atau 132.480 liter/tahun. Air hujan difilter dua kali untuk memenuhi standar air minum, sehingga air dapat dikonsumsi. Eksisting raw water tank digunakan untuk menampung air baku hasil filter awal (pretreatment). Sistem pengaliran airnya menggunakan sistem gabungan, air dipompakan dari bak penampung menuju rooftank atau reservoir dengan kapasitas volume sebesar 2550 m3, kemudian air didistribusikan ke lokasi tempat air minum. Pemilihan filter akhir (treatment) dipilih dari perbandingan antara sistem reverses osmosis, sistem depot air minum, dengan sistem dispenser (galon) dan dihasilkan metode reverse osmosis lebih baik dari segi kualitas air serta menguntungkan dari segi ekonomis. Pada tahun ke-2 modal awal yang telah dikeluarkan pada tahun pertama telah kembali. Kemudian pada tahun berikutnya penghematan biaya meningkat. Dibutuhkan biaya keseluruhan pelaksanaan sebesar Rp. 496.636.000,00. Kata Kunci: air hujan, air siap minum, reverse osmosis, water treatment

This article presents an optimization of the drinking water treatment process at the SUCRIVOIRE treatment station. The objective is to optimize the coagulation and flocculation process (fundamental process of the treatment of said plant)by determining the optimal dosages of the products injected and then proposes a program for calculating the optimal dose of coagulant in order to automatically determine the optimal dose of the latter according to the raw water quality. This contribution has the advantage of saving the user from any calculations the latter simply enters the characteristics of the raw effluent using the physical interface of the program in order to obtain the optimum corresponding coagulant concentration. For the determination of the optimal coagulant doses, we performed Jar-Test flocculation tests in the laboratory over a period of three months. The results made it possible to set up a polynomial regression model of the optimal dose of alumina sulfate as a function of the raw water parameters. A program for calculating the optimal dose of coagulant was carried out on Visual Basic. The optimal doses of coagulant obtained vary from 25, 35, 40 and 45 mg/l depending on the characteristics of the raw effluent. The model obtained is: . Finally, verification tests were carried out using this model on the process. The results obtained meet the WHO drinkability standards for all parameters for a settling time of two hours.

Abstract Background and Objectives: Water quality is important for preparation of dialysis solution due to its direct relationship with blood of patients with renal failure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical and microbial quality of inlet and outlet water of dialysis devices in hospitals of East Azerbaijan province. Material and Methods: This study was a descriptive-analytical study in which the water of dialysis ward of three hospitals affiliated to East Azerbaijan University of Medical Sciences was investigated. The results of physicochemical (45 cases) and microbial (163 cases) of dialysis water were extracted from the relevant archives in two stages before and after reverse osmosis treatment during 2014-2016. Independent t-test and one-way ANOVA were used for statistical analysis while extracting descriptive statistical parameters. Data analysis was done using Excel and SPSS 23 software. Results: Evaluation of the efficiency of reverse osmosis system showed that there was a significant difference between water quality, before and after the system. Except for calcium, magnesium, fluoride and nitrate, the concentrations of other cations and anions in 100% of samples were lower than the European Pharmacopoeia standard. Incoming water samples to dialysis machine in 4.9% of cases had total coliform contamination and there was no fecal coliform in any of the samples. The frequency and frequency of tests in hospitals are not observed and despite the risk of heavy metals, heavy metals tests are not performed on dialysis water for the health of dialysis patients. Conclusion: The need to develop a national standard for controlling dialysis water, testing all quality parameters of dialysis water according to standards in regular times and timeframes, informing hospital managers and environmental health experts about the importance of dialysis water quality in health and increasing life expectancy of dialysis patients is felt.
