Background:
Significant historical events forming the basis for today's water treatment systems

In ancient Greek and Sanskrit (India) writings dating back to 2000 BC, water treatment
methods were recommended. People back than knew that heating water might purify it, and
they were also educated in sand and gravel filtration, boiling, and straining. The major motive
for water purification was better tasting drinking water, because people could not yet
distinguish between foul and clean water. Turbidity was the main driving force between the
earliest water treatments. Not much was known about micro organisms, or chemical
contaminants.

After 1500 BC, the Egyptians first discovered the principle of coagulation. They applied the
chemical alum for suspended particle settlement. Pictures of this purification technique were
found on the wall of the tomb of Amenophis II and Ramses II.

After 500 BC, Hippocrates discovered the healing powers of water. He invented the practice of
sieving water, and obtained the first bag filter, which was called the ‘Hippocratic sleeve’. The
main purpose of the bag was to trap sediments that caused bad tastes or odours.

In 300-200 BC, Rome built its first aqueducts. Archimedes invented his water screw

During the Middle Ages (500-1500 AD), water supply was no longer as sophisticated as
before. These centuries where also known as the Dark Ages, because of a lack of scientific
innovations and experiments. After the fall of the Roman Empire enemy forces destroyed
many aqueducts, and others were no longer applied. The future for water treatment was
uncertain.

Than, in 1627 the water treatment history continued as Sir Francis Bacon started
experimenting with seawater desalination. He attempted to remove salt particles by means of
an unsophisticated form of sand filtration. It did not exactly work, but it did paved the way for
further experimentation by other scientists.

Experimentation of two Dutch spectacle makers experimented with object magnification led to
the discovery of the microscope by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek in the 1670s. He grinded and
polished lenses and thereby achieved greater magnification. The invention enables scientists
to watch tiny particles in water. In 1676, Van Leeuwenhoek first observed water micro
organisms.

In the 1700s the first water filters for domestic application were applied. These were made of
wool, sponge and charcoal. In 1804 the first actual municipal water treatment plant designed
by Robert Thom, was built in Scotland. The water treatment was based on slow sand filtration,
and horse and cart distributed the water. Some three years later, the first water pipes were
installed. The suggestion was made that every person should have access to safe drinking
water, but it would take somewhat longer before this was actually brought to practice in most
countries.

In 1854 it was discovered that a cholera epidemic spread through water. The outbreak
seemed less severe in areas where sand filters were installed. British scientist John Snow
found that the direct cause of the outbreak was water pump contamination by sewage water.
He applied chlorine to purify the water, and this paved the way for water disinfection. Since
the water in the pump had tasted and smelled normal, the conclusion was finally drawn that
good taste and smell alone do not guarantee safe drinking water. This discovery led to
governments starting to install municipal water filters (sand filters and chlorination), and
hence the first government regulation of public water.

In the 1890s America started building large sand filters to protect public health. These turned
out to be a success. Instead of slow sand filtration, rapid sand filtration was now applied. Filter
capacity was improved by cleaning it with powerful jet steam. Subsequently, Dr. Fuller found
that rapid sand filtration worked much better when it was preceded by coagulation and
sedimentation techniques. Meanwhile, such waterborne illnesses as cholera and typhoid
became less and less common as water chlorination won terrain throughout the world.

But the victory obtained by the invention of chlorination did not last long. After some time the
negative effects of this element were discovered. Chlorine vaporizes much faster than water,
and it was linked to the aggravation and cause of respiratory disease. Water experts started
looking for alternative water disinfectants. In 1902 calcium hypo chlorite and ferric chloride
were mixed in a drinking water supply in Belgium, resulting in both coagulation and
disinfection. In 1906 ozone was first applied as a disinfectant in France. Additionally, people
started installing home water filters and shower filters to prevent negative effects of chlorine
in water.

In 1903 water softening was invented as a technique for water desalination. Cations were
removed from water by exchanging them by sodium or other cations, in ion exchangers.

Eventually, starting 1914 drinking water standards were implemented for drinking water
supplies in public traffic, based on coliform growth. It would take until the 1940s before
drinking water standards applied to municipal drinking water. In 1972, the Clean Water Act
was passed in the United States. In 1974 the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) was
formulated. The general principle in the developed world now was that every person had the
right to safe drinking water.

Starting in 1970, public health concerns shifted from waterborne illnesses caused by disease-
causing micro organisms, to anthropogenic water pollution such as pesticide residues and
industrial sludge and organic chemicals. Regulation now focused on industrial waste and
industrial water contamination, and water treatment plants were adapted. Techniques such as
aeration, flocculation, and active carbon adsorption were applied. In the 1980s, membrane
development for reverse osmosis was added to the list. Risk assessments were enabled after
1990.

Water treatment experimentation today mainly focuses on disinfection by-products. An

example is trihalomethane (THM) formation from chlorine disinfection. These organics were
linked to cancer. Lead also became a concern after it was discovered to corrode from water
pipes. The high pH level of disinfected water enabled corrosion. Today, other materials have
replaced many lead water pipes.

Introduction to Water and Wastewater treatment:

Nature treats water in its own way through the hydrologic cycle, though we still need to
treat the water before we drink it due to all the pollution and bacteria in the environment.
The hydrologic cycle provides the supply of water for us to use for consumption,
continuously cycling through over and over. The five basic processes that make up the
hydrologic cycle are condensation, precipitation, infiltration, runoff, and
evapotranspiration.

In the water treatment plant the water comes in from the source, is aerated and the
addition of chemicals to aid in coagulation and flocculation occurs in the flash mix
chamber, it is then allowed to go through coagulation and flocculation, and settle out in
the sedimentation basin. The water will pass through a filtration system after the
sedimentation basin, removing partilces that were too small to settle out. Chlorine is
added as the final step and then the water is stored until it is distributed to the consumer.

Hydrologic Cycle

Hello, I'm Rosa Cooke from Mountain Empire Community College. I would like to
introduce you to a subject called water and wastewater treatment. In water and
wastewater, there are many concepts to learn so I thought I would start out with the way
nature treats water - the hydrologic cycle.

The hydrologic cycle follows water as it evaporates from the earth's surface, forms
clouds, and then falls back to the earth's surface as rain. The diagram below shows an
overview of the process.
Since the cycle is continuous, there is no actual beginning or end, so you can begin
anywhere. However, there are five basic processes that make up the hydrologic cycle:
Condensation, precipitation, infiltration, runoff, and evapotranspiration. Water
vapor condenses to form clouds, which result in precipitation when the conditions are
suitable. Precipitation falls to the surface and infiltrates the soil or flows to the ocean as
runoff. Surface water evaporates, returning moisture to the atmosphere, while plants
return water to the atmosphere by transpiration.

Introduction to Water Treatment

Now that you know how nature treats water, let's see how it's done in the water plant
before we consume it in a glass of water.

Water treatment in a typical water treatment plant is shown in the picture below. Based
on the characteristics of the raw water and on other factors, this treatment process may
vary considerably from place to place.
As water is pumped from the source (a well, spring, river, or lake) it is screened to
remove debris. Then, at the water plant, various characteristics of the raw water are
tested.

The water may be prechlorinated to kill microorganisms, control odors and taste, and aid
in coagulation and setttling. The water may also be aerated, which removes carbon
dioxide (CO2) and raises pH, oxidizes iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn), removes hydrogen
sulfide (H2S), and removes organic contaminants. Potassium permanganate (KmnO4) may
be added to the water in the collection tray of the aerator in order to remove iron and
manganese from the water. Ozone may be added to the water to treat iron and
manganese, remove algae, neutralize hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and aid in flocculation.
Many of these are dependent upon the plant and the amount of water being distributed
daily.

In most cases, the water then enters a flash mix chamber. Here, various chemicals are
added and are mixed into the water. Coagulants cause fine particles to clump together
into larger particles. Alkali are added to adjust the pH as well as to oxidize iron and
manganese. Hexametaphosphate may be added to prevent corrosion of pipes.

After flowing out of the flash mix chamber, the water goes through a chamber which
causes coagulation and flocculation to occur. Here, the fine particles of contaminants
gather together into large clumps called floc. When the water flows into the
sedimentation basin, some of the floc settles out of the water and is removed. Next, the
water is passed through filters which remove particles too small to settle out in the
sedimentation basin.

Finally, chlorine is added to the water. The water may also be fluoridated to reduce tooth
decay in the consumers. The water is left in the clear well for a period of time to allow
the chlorine to kill bacteria in the water and to oxidize hydrogen sulfide. The water is
now treated and ready to be distributed.

That was a quick overview of the water treatment process and what happens to water as it
goes through the plant step by step. We will get into greater detail in later lessons so that
you will understand each step of the process, why it is done and how to make sure each
step is being done efficiently.

You may be surprised to learn that the treatment of wastewater is a relatively modern practice.

Although sewers to remove foul-smelling water were common in ancient Rome, it was not until
the 19th century that large cities began to understand the necessity of reducing the amount
of pollutants in the used water they were discharging to the environment.

Despite large supplies of fresh water and the natural ability of surface waters to cleanse
themselves over time, populations had become so concentrated by 1850 that outbreaks of
life threatening diseases became commonplace. These outbreaks were traced to
pathogenic bacteria in the polluted water.

What happens in a wastewater treatment plant is essentially the same as what occurs naturally
in an ocean, lake, river or stream. The function of a wastewater treatment plant is to speed
up this natural cleansing process. The practice of wastewater collection and treatment has
been developed and perfected, using some of the most technically sound biological,
physical, chemical and mechanical techniques available. As a result, public health and
water quality are protected better today than ever before.
Treatment :

2.0 SOURCES

Wastewater can be defined as the flow of used water discharged from homes, businesses,
industries, commercial activities and institutions which is directed to treatment plants by a
carefully designed and engineered network of pipes. This wastewater is further categorized
and defined according to its sources of origin. The term “domestic wastewater” refers to
flows discharged principally from residential sources generated by such activities as food
preparation, laundry, cleaning and personal hygiene. Industrial/commercial wastewater is
flow generated and discharged from manufacturing and commercial activities such as
printing, food and beverage processing and production to name a few. Institutional
wastewater characterizes wastewater generated by large institutions such as hospitals and
educational facilities.

Typically 200 to 500 litres of wastewater are generated for every person connected to the system
each day. The amount of flow handled by a treatment plant varies with the time of day and
with the season of the year.

TREATMENT OBJECTIVES

The overall water management objectives of wastewater treatment are associated with the
removal of pollutants and the protection and preservation of our natural water resources.

Of specific concern is protection of human health by the destruction of pathogenic organisms

present in wastewater prior to treated effluent being discharged to receiving waters.
