I need correct and comprehensive solution for these questions. the group number is 3 and I need design for those questions where required.
PROBLEM:
The City of Nabu has approached you to develop a design for a water treatment plant to meet the
drinking water demand of its growing population of (1,500,000 Group number). The city grows on an
average of [2.4/Group Number]% per annum with several major industrial customers as given below:
Coal mining (production million * Group Number] tonnes/year)
Meat processing (production Group Number] toqpes/year)
Automobile manufacturing (production * Group Number] cars/year)
Textile industry (production Group Number] kg of products/year)
Semiconductor industry (production Group Number] chips/month)
The City's residents are highly critical of their current water quality which is sourced from a nearby lake.
The main concerns are:
Cloudy water
Poor taste and smell at times of the year
Oocasional gastroenteritis experienced by the children and the elderly
Visiting tourists consider the water quality pathetic.
The following information is provided as guidance to design the water treatment plant. You are
encouraged to source other relevant information and provide reference(s) for each of the
assumptions made. The plant design should take into account the capital and ongoing operational
costs for the city to be able to sustain increased expenditure over the next 25 years.
Q1
A typical source water quality of the Lake water is provided in the table below. What other water quality information that you would like to have for the design of the water treatment plant?
Q2
Comment on each of the raw water parameter's significance in relation to the selection of appropriate water treatment process. What are the ADWG values required for each water quality parameter after treatment?
Q3
(a) Determine the average per capita consumption of water including the industrial demands and other demands (Determine the water requirement of each industry based on their production.
You need to cite references from which you obtained the water demand for each industry).
(b) Sketch a flow diagram of a treatment process to produce an acceptable quality of water all year around. Indicate the chemicals used, expected dosages required and detention times.
(c) Calculate suitable sizes (length x width x depth) of each process unit. Give reasons for each of your statements.
(d) Summarise your design in a suitable table format and provide justifications for selection of each unit process.
(e) Do a preliminary costing (both capital and operating costs) for the entire treatment plant.
Q4
Provide diagrams for hydraulic profile, instrumentation and layout of the site of your treatment plant,clearly labeling each component of the process.
Q5
Provide a detailed design of all the units you have proposed in the design.
Q6
Convince the City Engineer that your design is the best that will provide safe uninterrupted water supply at affordable costs to its customers for the next 25 years by writing a one page "Media Report".
Report Format
No lengthy writing is required for the design problem other than stating all your assumptions.
Show all your calculations neatly.
