3 Amherst, MA, Drinking Water System Atkins Water Treatment Plant Source: Atkins Reservoir Design Flow: 1.5 million gallons per day On-line: February 1994 Treatment: Coagulation (addition of caustic soda and polymer) Ozonation (2 locations; raw & filtered) Trident upflow clarification Filtration Disinfection For more on the plant see paper by Dumais et al. Pre-Trident Ozonation control of taste and odor, color removal CT credits achieved 25 /L dd d 2.5 mg/l ozone added 4 chambers in series Lecture #18 Dave Reckhow 3

4 Amherst Ozone Contactors Pre and Post contactors are identical Four chambers Under/over baffled David Reckhow CEE 371 L#13 7 Pre-Trident Chemical Addition coagulant addition (alum and cationic polymer) ph adjustment for optimization of Trident process Lecture #18 Dave Reckhow 4

5 Trident Filtration Process 3 factory fabricated steel tanks, 0.75 MGD each buoyant plastic media in upflow clarifier conventional media filtration (anthracite coal and sand) Trident Clarification/Filtration Unit TR 420A David Reckhow CEE 371 L#17 10 Lecture #18 Dave Reckhow 5

6 Adsorption Clarifier Media AC Media Technical Details: Buoyant Media Specific gravity slightly < 1.0 Allows for complete fluidization Effective size ~2.5 mm Rolled and scarified media Lasts for life of plant No maintenance required Operation: Filtration Lecture #18 Dave Reckhow 6

7 Operation: Clarifier Flush AC typically cleans 2 to 4 times per every filter backwash Operation: Filter Backwash Lecture #18 Dave Reckhow 7

8 Post-Trident Ozonation redundancy for pre-trident ozonation removal of dissolved organic carbon 1.5 mg/l ozone added Identical to pre-ozone contactor Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) Adsorption reduced taste and odor, chlorination byproducts improved removal of DOC reduced d chlorine demand, d potential ti for regrowth Lecture #18 Dave Reckhow 8

9 Chlorine / Ammonia Addition necessary to keep residuals in system ammonia is optional (chloramines) Chlorine Contact Tank 22.5 ft depth, L/W ratio = 14 with 5 redwood perforated baffles Backup for CT requirement Lecture #18 Dave Reckhow 9

10 Caustic Soda Addition (raise ph) corrosion control in distribution system Ammonia Addition (convert chlorine to chloramines) control of trihalomethanes, other disinfectant residuals Clearwell Storage Tanks additional disinfectant contact time flow equalization and backwash control 2 tanks with 250, gallon capacity each Lecture #18 Dave Reckhow 10
