Project Information
GWTP:
Ground WaterTreatment Plant Comprising 1(one) no 5000
GPH Capacity ground water reservoir and Pump house based on
existing Deep Tube well at Chandapara under Bagbasa G.P. of
Jubarajnagar Block of North Tripura District of D.W.S Division
Dharmanagar.

Ground water is the largest reservoir of liquid fresh water on

Earth and is found in aquifers, porous rock and sediment with water in
between. ... More water goes into the ground where there is a lot of
rain, flat land, porous rock, exposed soil, and where water is not
already filling the soil and rock.

What is a groundwater treatment plant?

The Groundwater Treatment Plant (GTP) plays an essential role
in Orica's Botany Groundwater Cleanup Project. ... The GTP removes
chlorinated hydrocarbons (CHCs) from the groundwater by an air
stripping process, and the contaminated off-gas is treated in a thermal
oxidiser.

How is Ground water treated?

Groundwater generally is treated by drilling recovery wells to pump
contaminated water to the surface. Commonly used groundwater
treatment approaches include air stripping, filtering with granulated
activated carbon (GAC), and air sparging

What are the 5 stages of water treatment?

These include: (1) Collection ; (2) Screening and Straining ; (3) Chemical
Addition ; (4) Coagulation and Flocculation ; (5) Sedimentation and
Clarification ; (6) Filtration ; (7) Disinfection ; (8) Storage ; (9) and finally
Distribution. Let's examine these steps in more detail.

What are the methods of water treatment?

Top 7 Methods of Water Treatment
 Coagulation / Flocculation. Coagulation is adding liquid aluminum
sulfate or alum and/or polymer to raw or untreated water. ...
 Sedimentation. When water and flocs undergo the treatment
process, they go into sedimentation basins. ...
 Filtration. ...
 Disinfection. ...
 Sludge Drying. ...
 Fluoridation. ...
 pH Correction.

What is the conclusion of water treatment?

Disinfection is unquestionably the most important step in the
treatment of water for drinking-water supplies. The microbial quality
of drinking-water should not be compromised because of concern
over the potential long-term effects of disinfectants and DBPs.
The purpose of a public or private water treatment facility is to
make water potable (safe to drink) and palatable (pleasant to taste)
while also ensuring that there is a sufficient supply of water to meet
the community's needs.
Groundwater may need to be disinfected before consumption to
remove harmful microorganisms and should be disinfected to
prevent any downstream contamination. Disinfection does not
remove chemicals and other treatment processes may be necessary
to manage any associated risks to health.
WATER TREATMENT ENSURING ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER AND
AVOIDING CONTAMINATION OF RIVERS AND SEAS. Water treatment
is a process involving different types of operations (physical,
chemical, physicochemical and biological), the aim of which is to
eliminate and/or reduce contamination or non-desirable
characteristics of water.

MACHINERIES REQUIRED FOR CONSTRUCTION AND

INSTRUMENTS

Different types of heavy equipment commonly used in the construction

are as follows:

1.Excavators: Excavators are important and widely used equipment in

construction industry. Their general purpose is to excavation but other
than that they are also used for many purposes like heavy lifting,
demolition, river dredging, cutting of trees etc. Excavators contains a
long arm and a cabinet. At the end of long arm digging bucket is provided
and cabinet is the place provided for machine operator. This whole cabin
arrangement can be rotatable up to 360o which eases the operation.
Excavators are available in both wheeled and tracked forms of vehicles.
2.Backhoe: Backhoe is another widely used equipment which is
suitable for multiple purposes. The name itself telling that the hoe
arrangement is provided on the back side of vehicle while loading bucket
is provided in the front. This is well useful for excavating trenches below
the machine level and using front bucket loading, unloading and lifting
of materials can be done.
3.Dump Trucks: Dump trucks are used in construction sites to carry
the material in larger quantities from one site to another site or to the
dump yard. Generally, in big construction site, off-road dump trucks are
used. These off-road dump trucks contains large wheels with huge space
for materials which enables them to carry huge quantity of material in
any type of ground conditions.
4.Vibrator: Concrete vibrators are used for construction based
applications. ... It is used for concrete compaction mainly in constructing
roads, railways, and buildings. It consolidates freshly poured concrete to
remove the trapped air and excess water. It is to settle the concrete
firmly in the place of form-work.

5.Mixture machine: One set of blade facilitates the mixing

process while the drum is rotating in a certain direction and the other
set of blade facilitates the discharge process of the mix while the drum
is rotating in the opposite direction. Reversing drum mixers are most
suitable for preparing dry mix concrete.
Concrete mixers are devices capable of preparing concrete mixtures of
varying strength precisely as well as quickly. Some concrete mixers are
even capable of dispensing the concrete mixture directly on the
location of the construction

Different Terminologies In GWTP

Collection: The source water for water treatment plant is from the bore
well There must be a method to get this water to the water treatment
plant. Quite often, a series of pumps and pipelines transport the water to
the treatment plant. At the water plant, large pumps are used to transfer
the water up to the treatment facility. Treatment facilities are often
engineered to utilize gravity water flow as much as possible to reduce
pumping costs.
Screening and Straining: If you think about surface water sources you
realize they contain varying amounts of suspended and dissolved
materials. This material may include turbidity, color, taste, odor,
microorganisms etc. So the first process in conventional water treatment
is to screen or strain out the larger items. This is often accomplished using
a large metal screen, often called a barscreen, which is placed in front of
the water source intake. Large items are trapped on the screen as the
water passes through it. These screens must routinely be raked or cleaned
off.

 Report on Industrial Training

Chemical Addition: Once the pre-screened source water is received into

the treatment plant, chemicals are added to help make the suspended
particles that are floating in the water clump together to form a heavier
and larger gelatinous particle, often called floc. In this process, a chemical
is added that reacts with the natural alkalinity in solution to form an
insoluble precipitate. There are many different chemicals on the market
that are used in this process. These chemicals are called coagulants. One
of the most common that has been used for many years is aluminum
sulfate, or alum. Some other very popular coagulants are ferrous sulfate,
ferric chloride, sodium aluminate, activated silica, and compounds called
polymers that are manufactured chemicals made up of repeated small
units of low molecular weight combined into molecules with very large
molecular weights. These polymers are classified as cationic polymers
(positively charged), anionic polymers (negatively charged), and nonionic
polymers (neutrally charged). Regardless of which coagulant or
combination of coagulants is used, they must be mixed very well with the
water before they can form a heavier floc.
Coagulation and Flocculation: - A rapid mix unit is usually used where the
coagulant is added to the water to provide a very quick and thorough
mixing. The water mixing is then slowed to allow the water to come in
contact with the forming floc and allow it to increase in size. The
continued mixing must be gentle to allow the floc to grow and gain
weight, but fast enough to keep it in suspension until you are ready for it
to settle in the clarifiers. The process of adding a chemical to cause the
suspended material to “clump” into larger particles is called flocculation
or coagulation. The treatment unit where coagulation and flocculation is
performed is called the “flocculator”.

Civil Engineering Department

Graphic era Hill University, Dehradun 10 l Page
 Report on Industrial Training
Sedimentation and Clarification: Once the flocculation process is
complete, the water then passes over the weir in the flocculator and
travels to the center of the clarifier, or sedimentation basin. Here, the
water makes its way from the center of the clarifier to the saw tooth
weir at the perimeter of the unit. As the water makes its way towards
the weir, the large floc particles are allowed to settle out to the bottom
of the clarifier. A rake continuously travels across the bottom of the
clarifier and scrapes the settled floc to the center of the unit. Pumps are
used to pull the settled “sludge” out of the clarifier and send it to a
sedimentation / disposal pond. The water that passes over the weir is
collected and transferred to the filters. The reason clarification occurs
before filtration is so the majority of suspended material can be
removed prior to filtration, which avoids overloading the filters and
thus allowing much more water to be filtered before the filters must be
backwashed.
Filtration: Clarified water enters the filters from the top. Gravity pulls
the water down through the filters where it is collected in a drain
system at the bottom of the unit. There are many different types of
materials (media) used in filters. The most common being sand and
gravel. Many conventional plants are now using granular activated
carbon as the media of choice because it not only provides excellent
mechanical filtration of particulate matter, but also removes organic
compounds which can cause taste and odor problems.
Disinfection: Once the water has gone through the filtration process, it
is about as clear and clean as it can get. However, there may still be
bacteria and viruses remaining. To ensure these are destroyed, there
must be a disinfection process employed. The most common
disinfection process used in the United States is chlorination. Chlorine
comes in many different forms including chlorine gas (most common),
chlorine dioxide, hypochlorite (bleach), and others. Whichever method
is used, chlorine is added to the water in an amount to ensure all
microorganisms are destroyed.
Civil Engineering Department
Graphic era Hill University, Dehradun 11 l Page
 Water plants monitor the chlorine levels continuously and very carefully
in the treated water. They must add enough chlorine to 3 ensure
thorough disinfection of the water, but avoid adding excesses that can
cause taste and odor problems when delivered to the consumer.
Storage: Once the disinfection process is complete, the water is stored.
Storage usually takes place in an underground storage tank called a
“clear well”, and also in elevated storage tanks that are visible around
town. There must always be an ample supply of water available in the
event of emergencies. These can include power outages, fires, floods,
etc.
Distribution: So how does the water come out of your kitchen tap? The
stored water is pushed through underground pipelines all over town in
what is called a “distribution system”. The distribution system consists
of large water pumps at the treatment plant, overhead water storage
tanks, large pipelines, smaller pipelines, fire hydrants, valves, and water
meters in your front yard.

ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES

 ADVANTAGES:
 Underground wastewater treatment plants save the community
the inconvenience of unpleasant sight of the waste and its bad
odor.
 It is environment friendly as the waste is handled discreetly
without releasing any of the residual matter out in the open.
 Groundwater helps grow our food. 64% of groundwater is used
for irrigation to grow crops. Groundwater is an important
component in many industrial processes. Groundwater is a
source of recharge for lakes, rivers, and wetlands.
 Ground ADVANTAGES:water generally does not get polluted Since
bore well is closed, no risk of getting contaminated Since it is closed
no danger of children or animals falling into it Temperature of deep
water remains stable It feels cool in summer and warm in winter
Since bore wells are deep, chances of water remaining available in
summer are higher.
 DISADVANTAGES:
 Lowering of the Water Table Excessive pumping can lower the
groundwater table, and cause wells to no longer be able to
reach groundwater.
 Increased Costs As the water table lowers, the water must be
pumped farther to reach the surface, using more energy. In
extreme cases, using such a well can be cost prohibitive.
 Reduced Surface Water Supplies Groundwater and surface
water are connected. When groundwater is overused, the lakes,
streams, and rivers connected to groundwater can also have
their supply diminished.

TEST ON RAW MATERIALS

1. Slump Test:
Slump test is a laboratory or at site test used to measure the
consistency of concrete. Slump test shows an indication of the
uniformity of concrete in different batches. The shape of the
concrete slumps shows the information on the workability and
quality of concrete. The slump test is a means of assessing the
consistancy of fresh concrete. It is used, indirectly, as a means of
checking that the correct amount of water has been added to the
mix.
The steeel slump cone is placed on a solid, impermeable, level
base and filled with the fresh concrete in three equal layers, each
layer is robbed 25 times to ensure compaction . The third layer is
finished off level with the top of the cone. The cone is carefully
lifted up, leaving a heap of concrete that settles or ‘slumps’
slightly . The upturned slump cone is placed on the base to act as
a reference, and the difference in level between its top and the
top of the concrete is measured and recorded to the nearest
10mm to give the slump of the concrete.

When the cone is removed, the slump may take one of three
forms. In a true slump the concrete simply subsides, keeping
more or less to shape. In a shear slump the top portion of the
concrete shears off and slips sideways. In a collspse slump the
concrete collapses completely. Only a true is of any use in the
test. A collapse slump is generally mean that the mix is too wet
or that it is a high workability mix, for which the flow test is more
appropriate.

2. Copaction Factor Test:

The compaction factor test is carried out to measure the
degree of worability of fresh concrete with regard to the concrete
thoroughly .
PROCEDURE:
1.Fil the upper hopper by pouring the concrete sample in it.
Internal energy required for compacting the concrete thoroughly.
2.Open the hinged door at the lower end of the lower hopper
allowing the concrete to fall into the lower hopper.
3.Immediately open the gate of at the bottom of the lower hopper
to allow the concrete to fall into the cylindrical mould.
4.Remove the excess concrete above the top level of the mould by
using a trowel.
5.Take the weight of the cylindrical mould with concrete(Partially
compacted concrete) and find out the weight of the concrete(W1).
6.Now remove the concrete from the mould and refill it with the
same concrete sample in 5 cm layers.
7.Compact the each layer of the concrete fully by using a steel rod
or mechanical vibrator.
8.Now take the weight of the cylinder with concrete(fully
compacted concrete) and find out the weight of the concrete(W2).
9.Calculate the compaction factor by below given formula.

i.e Compaction Factor = W1/W2
