CHAITANYA KRISHNA

 This paper of water treatment process in MEPL2 x 150 MW gives the over all
idea on water flow and treatment system. . Source of water is Kandaleru
creek . Water from kandaleru creek is pumped with 2 pumps capacity 2500
m3/hr (2 x 2500 m3/hr). It reaches pretreatment plant through 700 mm dia
GRP pipe line .( Glass reinforced plastic ). Purpose of treatment is to obtain
normal water parameters i.e to remove salinity in sea water ,and to obtain
required parameters for process .This will be achieved in five stages.
1.pretreament. 2.Filteration 3. Sea water Reverse osmosis 4. Brackish water
RO 5.DM Plant.
Pretreatment : In pretreatment plant for Bactria killing ,Clarification. It
includes chemical dosing and klaritube settlers. This water from
klaritubesettlers (2x 1260 m3/hr) fall into clarified water storage tank
capacity (8000m3)
Filtration plant:274 m3 /hr) Filtration plant includes 4 filters 2 PSF
(pressurized sand filters ) and 2 DMF
( Dual media filters) through filter feed pumps .
SWRO:( 3 streams 96m3/hr each) Salinity in water can be removed in this
process up to <30 parts per thousand .which is used service and potable
water stored in three compartments of permeate tank ( total 4
compartments in permeate tank). Reject of system is given to sea.

BWRO : .(3 streams 54.87m3/hr each) Brackish water system is to maintain

salinity <0.5. product of this is filled in 4th compartment of permeate tank,
reject of this system is given to CWST.
DM plant : .(2 streams 30 m3/hr each) As per requirement of process with
required parameters DM water is stored in DM tanks of capacity 300 m3
capacity of two tanks
This water is used for process through DM transfer pumps ( 3x17 m3/hr).

 CHLORINATION

Chlorine not only removes bacteria but also eliminate taste, colour
and controls algae, protozoa and fungi, improve coagulation and
oxidies of iron and manganese.
Chlorine reacts with water to form hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and
HCl
H2O + Cl2 HOCl + HCl
HOCl H+ + Ocl-
