1 CIVL 111 Water Treatment - Yearly OM Problems 1/ The objective of this project is to utilize, within given constraints, a prototype water filter system to design a full-scale system. The effectiveness of the filter design will be evaluated by the yearly operational and maintenance costs. Group Problem - Treatment Consider a prototype system with the following characteristics: 1. coagulant dosage of mg/l. flowrate 1,000 ml/min 3. run time of 60 minutes 4. inches of anthracite and 4 inches of filter sand. replace filter material once every five years 6. 4 prototype sedimentation tanks Compute the total yearly cost of this system The weight of coagulant (kg) required per gallon of treated water is estimated as: mg 3.8 L kg wt kg c = gal 6 L gallon 10 mg kg gal The number of coagulation and flocculation units, NCF, required are: 0% Factor of Safety NCF 10 (gpd) 10 gpd 6 1.
