Raw Water Collection: - Raw water from Upper Kundalika Dam will pump to conventional
WTP at Wadwani with the help of 2 nos. of 75HP pumps. Out of two pumps, one is working
and other one is standby. Water flow is continuously monitored by flow meter at header line.
Flow rate is controlled by electrically actuated sluice valve.
Screening & Straining: - Raw water contain varying amount of suspended and dissolved
materials. This material may include turbidity, colour, taste, odour, microorganisms, fish,
plants, trees, trash, etc. So, the first process in conventional water treatment is to screen or
strain out the larger items. This raw water is then passed through the Aeration Fountain.
Aeration brings water and air in closed contact to remove dissolved gases. Water quality is
monitored here by using Turbidity and pH analyzer.
Mixing (Chemical Addition): - Once the pre-screened source water is received into the
treatment plant, chemicals are added to help make the suspended particles that are floating in
the water clump together to form a heavier and larger gelatinous particle, often called floc. In
this process, a chemical is added that reacts with the natural alkalinity in solution to form an
insoluble precipitate. There are many different chemicals on the market that are used in this
Coagulation and Flocculation: - A rapid mix unit is usually used where the coagulant is added
to the water to provide a very quick and thorough mixing. The water mixing is then slowed to
allow the water to come in contact with the forming floc and allow it to increase in size. The
continued mixing must be gentle to allow the floc to grow and gain weight, but fast enough to
keep it in suspension until you are ready for it to settle in the clarifiers. The process of adding
a chemical to cause the suspended material to “clump” into larger particles is called
flocculation or coagulation. The treatment unit where coagulation and flocculation are
performed is called the “Flocculator”
Sedimentation and Clarification: - Once the flocculation process is complete, the water then
passes over the weir in the flocculator and travels to the centre of the clarifier, or sedimentation
basin. Here, the water makes its way from the centre of the clarifier to the saw tooth weir at the
perimeter of the unit. As the water makes its way towards the weir, the large floc particles are
allowed to settle out to the bottom of the clarifier. A rake continuously travels across the bottom
of the clarifier and scrapes the settled floc to the centre of the unit. Pumps are used to pull the
settled “sludge” out of the clarifier and send it to a sedimentation / disposal pond. The water
that passes over the weir is collected and transferred to the filters. The reason clarification
occurs before filtration is so most of the suspended material can be removed prior to filtration,
which avoids overloading the filters and thus allowing much more water to be filtered before
the filters must be backwashed.
Filtration: - Clarified water enters the filters from the top. Gravity pulls the water down
through the filters where it is collected in a drain system at the bottom of the unit. There are
many different types of materials (media) used in filters. The most common being sand and
gravel. Many conventional plants are now using granular activated carbon as the media of
choice because it not only provides excellent mechanical filtration of particulate matter, but
also removes organic compounds which can cause taste and odour problems.
Disinfection: - Once the water has gone through the filtration process, it is about as clear and
clean as it can get. However, there may still be bacteria and viruses remaining. To ensure these
Storage: - Once the disinfection process is complete, the water is stored. Storage usually takes
place in an underground storage tank called a “Pure Water Sump”.
Distribution: - The pure water is then distributed to different MBR & ESR with the help of
pump operation.
