1 2018 MAY PAC Water Treatment

2 Facts about Water Water security is among the top global risks in terms of development impact- WB The world will not be able to meet the sustainable development challenges of the 21st century without improving management and access to reliable water and sanitation services. WB

3 Why Water Treatment Turkana aquifer- can supply whole county with water for 70 years but not fit for drinking without treatment- Too salty Dwindling fresh water sources- and the once available heavily contaminated- Nairobi River 2015 (WHO/UNICEF) Report- 19 million people do not have access to at least basic water WASREB report- Only 53% of the urban population and 49% of the rural population had access to clean water In Nairobi- only 35 % had access to clean water

4 Water contaminants Physical- Suspended sediment and organic material Chemical -nitrogen, salts, pesticides, metals, gases etc. Biological- bacteria, viruses, protozoan, and parasites. Radiological- cesium, plutonium and uranium.

5 Water Treatment Technologies Classification Physical Treatment- Sand filtration, sedimentation, ultrafiltration, Reverse osmosis Chemical Treatment - flocculation and chlorination systems, UV systems, ion exchange systems, Adsorption Biological Treatment- biodegrading of organic matter in Bioreactors WWTP

6 Water Treatment

7 Wide Range- Any water quality

8 Reverse Osmosis (RO)

9 How RO works Every RO must have two streams of water

10 RO membrane construction

11 RO Membrane

12 What RO will remove from your water 99%+ of dissolved salts Particles Colloids Organics Bacteria etc BUT- RO is designed to deal with dissolved salts only. All others must be removed before RO

13 RO design and Performance - Key Parameters Feed Pressure Permeate Pressure Concentrated pressure Feed Flow Permeate Flow Temperature Feed TDS Permeate TDS Concentrate TDS

14 Salt Rejects Tells You how effective the RO membranes are in removing dissolved solids Salt Rejection= Feed Water Conductivity/TDS Permeate water conductivity/tds Feed Water conductivity/tds

15 Salt Rejection Salt Passage %=1 salt Rejection The lower the salt passage the better High salt passage could mean damaged membrane or need for cleaning

16 Recovery Recovery %= Permeate Flow Feed Flow 100 A general rule is the system can be operated at 50%, 75%, and 80-85% recoveries for a single stage, two stage, and three stage systems respectively. % system recovery is often set to maximize permeate flow while preventing precipitation of super-saturated salts within the membrane system Operating temperature, source of feed, composition of feed, feed concentration, and ph can have an effect on the overall recovery

17 Mass Balance Mass balance equation is used to help determine if your flow and quality instrument is reading correctly Feed TDS Feed Flow rate=(permeate TDS Permeate flow rate) + (Concentrate TDS Concentrate Flow rate) A difference of > +/- 10% on both sides of the equation means instruments needs calibration

18 RO Staging

19 RO Staging

20 RO Staging

21 RO Pass- Single Pass

22 RO Pass- Double Pass

23 Typical RO installation

24 RO Pretreatment Proper pretreatment prevents fouling, Scaling and premature membrane failure and frequent cleaning Pretreatment could be chemical, mechanical or both

25 Common Problems Due to Poor Pretreatment Fouling- Contaminants accumulating on the membrane surface Plugging the membrane- Colloidal matter, Organics, Biofilm, media break through Scaling- compounds exceeding solubility limit precipitating on membranes e.g. CaCo3 Chemical Attack by oxidizers e.g. chlorine Mechanical damage- Hard starts and back pressures

26 Pretreatment Solutions for RO Multi media using sand or Glass media. Removes particles down to 20 microns and 10 microns when coagulation is added. Micro Filtration- recommended 5 microns after Multi Media Filter Ultrafiltration- Ideal filtration Antiscalant- Dosed before RO feed pump Chlorination- For preventing bacteria growth. Dosed before media filter SMBS/Carbon- De-chlorination

27 Eco Membranes RO ECO Membranes will increase sustainability efforts for an ECOlogical solution ECO Membranes will provide opportunity to save energy and chemical costs for an ECOnomical solution

28 Reverse Osmosis Application Drinking Water production Fluoride removal- Big Problem in Arusha >1.5 mg/l dental fluorosis Stains, brown teeth, chipping of teeth >6 mg daily intake skeletal fluorosis Deformed bones, Crippling Pain in joints, weakening of bones

30 Examples of Project Kenya Breweries 15m3/hr

31 Examples of Project 16m3/hr RO Sultan Palace

32 Examples of Project 3m3/hr Sea Water RO Interland

33 Ultrafiltration UF: membrane process based on size exclusion (physical sieving). Reject particles, colloids, SS, oxidized Fe/Mn, microorganisms... What UF cannot reject: DOM, Non-Oxidized Fe/Mn, Hardness, Salts, dissolved matter in general.

48 Glass Media This environmentally friendly filter media made from a glass recycled

49 Glass Media benefits Over Sand More efficient It can remove up to 30% more material and pollutants than sand Keeps cleaner It s less susceptible to bio-fouling, as the product is heat treated surfaces are smooth

50 Glass Media benefits over sand requires less material It s less dense than sand by 15% and therefore uses less water to backwash. 23% less water doesn t degrade It therefore has a longer life span. Upto 10 years, compared to sand 3 years

51 DMI 65

52 DMI 65 The processes that take place in a bed of DMI-65 involve reduction/oxidation (redox). Redox reactions involve a transfer of electrons between species Reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in the oxidation state of a molecule, atom or ion. Oxidation is the loss of electrons or an increase in the oxidation state of a molecule, atom or ion. Redox reactions occur simultaneously whereby there cannot be a reduction reaction without an oxidation reaction.

59 Dosing pump Selection A customer has a water treatment system in which he wishes to dose 10 mg NAOH /l in a pipeline with a flow of 6 m 3/h and system pressure of 4 bar His dosing solution of soda lye [NaOH] must be a 25% solution. Which dosing pump should we offer him? Solution; In a 25% [NaOH] solution there is approx. 25 g [NaOH]/100 ml =50 mg [NaOH]/ml=250,000mg/lr. To calculate dosage rate is as follows Dosage rate ( l hr) = (flow rate ( l hr) Required Dose concentration( mg l) solution concentration ( mg l) In our case therefore, Dosage rate = The correct dosing pump is therefore DDE6-10 set at 4% = 0.24 l hr

60 Chemical Mixing Calculation If you are to make a solution in a 100l tank, then to calculate the volume of NaOH to be added into the tank the formula is as below V Dosage in L = required dose concentration ( mg l) Tank Volume in L concentration of stock solution density of the chemical ( g cm 3 ) 10 6 In our case this will be = = l of NaOH
