And Control

The Umgeni Water Wiggins water treatment plant feeds the southern areas of Durban in South Africa and has a maximum treatment capacity of about 350 Ml/d. Two interconnected reservoirs at this facility hold treated water before it enters the distribution network. Because of the variable demand, the reservoir levels and residence times undergo considerable variation. This has a strong influence on the free chlorine concentration in the water leaving the reservoir, which should be 0.8 to 1.2 mg/l, to ensure an adequate disinfection potential within the network. This paper describes a model which accounts for the observed variations of chlorine concentration, and will form the basis of a predictive controller for the chlorine concentration in the outlet.

Secondary Clarifier

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) studies of a secondary clarifier at Durban's Northern Wastewater Treatment Works, and of a clarifier at the potable water treatment plant at Umzinto, a small town near Durban, have been undertaken with a view to improving their load capacities. In both cases the units are located in relatively old treatment plants, which face continually increasing loads due to population growth. Increasing the capacity of existing equipment, rather than installing new equipment, constitutes an efficient use of development capital. Although the two clarifiers have considerable design differences, the CFD studies indicated remarkably similar circulating flows, which concentrate up-flow near the outer wall of the clarifier in the region of the clarified water overflow weirs. Baffles were designed to disrupt the circulation so as to distribute up-flow over a wider area, thereby reducing the maximum vertical velocities. In the case of the wastewater secondary clarifier, the modification has been implemented, and evaluated in comparative tests involving an otherwise identical unmodified clarifier. In the case of the potable water clarifier, the modification has still to be implemented.

Sludge Concentration

The reuse of industrial waste and urban sewage is a vital method for solving the shortage of water resource in China. Settling tank as a processing link in water treatment system widely used exercises a great influence on sewage treatment efficiency, and sludge emissions have a great influence on the operation of water treatment plant. Manual mud and mechanical dredge are widely used in most of the water treatment plants from the current domestic. The design used ultrasonic as a method for determination of sludge concentration, developped corresponding application control software, and finally completed a reasonable and feasible for settling tank intermittent discharge of sludge monitoring and emission control system.The result of our simulation system shows that the program operation is stable and maneuverability, and this set of monitoring on-line and control system has good application and development foreground.
