Presentation Preview • Background to water treatment • Project fundamentals • The significance of our project • Design • Project Statement • Alternatives • Implementation
Background: Wastewater treatment Wastewater Treatment Plant Influent Effluent Watercourse Dilution Sludge • Typical wastewater system
Background: Water Treatment Raw Water Source Water Treatment Plant Raw Water Potable Water Sludge • “Indirect wastewater reuse”
Project Fundamentals Wastewater Reuse Plant Potable Water Influent Sludge • “Direct wastewater reuse” • No watercourse natural purification • WWTP and WTP condense into one plant
The Importance of Reuse • Water shortages are increasing • Groundwater, surface water, desalination • Water conservation is necessary
Project Statement • To research and design a wastewater reuse plant that produces potable water that meets potable water quality standards.
Project objectives • Meet a need somewhere • Focus on environmental impacts • Utilize cutting-edge technology • Expand knowledge of water chemistry
Design Alternatives • Handle varying effluent streams • Reuse non-potable wastewater: • Irrigation • Groundwater recharge • Industrial cooling • Consider another related problem: Wastewater Treatment Plant Wastewater Reuse Plant Effluent Potable Water
Design Alternatives Various wastewater treatment techniques Various drinking water treatment techniques relationships
Design Implementation • Research treatment techniques • Pick project site • SW United States? • Singapore? • Calvin College? • Select and Design a treatment facility • Predict environmental impacts • Discuss economic feasibility
Concluding Remarks • Suitable scope • Focuses on the need for potable water • Environmentally significant
