Evaluative method and Performance Analysis of Water Treatment Plant

Abstract

The effectiveness of water treatment plants (WTPs) and their individual components in achieving safe drinking water standards must be assessed. The study's goal is to assess how successfully the WTP in Nangloi, West Delhi, is doing its job. Some of the physiochemical variables used to measure efficiency are turbidity, total solids, temperature, and total dissolved solids. water loss, pH, dissolved solids, DO, DO, pH, and RC are all parameters that should be monitored. Every hour, six random samples were obtained across the city and examined in compliance with the most up-to-date IS:10500 guidelines for safe drinking water. They were the inlet chamber, the discharge from the four primary clarifier, and the filtration unit. Given that this WTP draws water from a sea water source, it is to be anticipated that all water quality indicators, with the exception of turbidity and microbial levels, are within criteria for the drinking water. The ultimate turbidity of the water is routinely measured to be less than 1NTU, the threshold for unacceptable levels. Any leftover germs are eliminated by the 1.5 ppm of chloride present in the final product. Just 0.36 percent of the water goes down the drain throughout the treatment procedure. The studies show that the treated wastewater is suitable for human intake since it conforms, on average, to the drinking water standards specified by IS:10500. This study will aid in determining the efficiency and location of underperforming units, which will improve water quality at no extra cost..
