Few Case Studies of recent projects executed


Case Study1

Customer


The client is an IT giant with a campus spread out on 150 acres of land and over 15,000 employees. This campus also has residential blocks to accommodate their employees.

Requirement

The main need was 8.0 Cu.m per Hour of treated water (drinking quality) for their internal cooling systems (Cooling tower).
PTPL Solution


A brief on the process involved

The treatment process starts off with filtration, for which the Pressure Sand Filter and the Activated Carbon Filter are made use of.

In the Pressure Sand Filter, sand is used for removing the suspended particles while anthracite removes the odor as well as the color to make the water fit for various applications. Pebbles and gravels are provided to support to both the media.

Operating Data:
Mode of Plant Operation Manual
Raw Water Feed Flow Rate 15.0 Cu.m / Hr
Operating Pressure 3.5 Kg / Sq. Cm
Filter Media  Sand, Silex, Gravels & Pebbles





The Activated Carbon Filter uses carbon of a specific grade as media and is mainly used for color and odor removal.
Operating Data:
Mode of Plant Operation Manual
Raw Water Feed Flow Rate 15.0 Cu.m / Hr
Operating Pressure 2.5 Kg / Sq. Cm
Filter Media Activated carbon, Sand, Gravels & Pebbles

Water Softener System:

Once the water is basically treated of solid suspensions and contaminants, a softener is used to remove the hardness from raw water.

Operating Data:
Mode of Plant Operation Manual
Feed Flow 15.0 Cu.m / Hr
Operating Pressure 2.0 Kg / Sq. Cm
Resin Volume 650 Liters
Infeed Total Hardness 350 ppm
Process intake Hardness removed
Regenerant used Sodium Chloride (NaCl)
Regeneration flow 6 Cu.m / hr (Appx.)

Reverse Osmosis System:
RO is used to produce high purity water that meets the most demanding specifications. It is capable of up to 99.5 % salt rejection, yet, on account of its very fine membranes, it is very much prone to fouling with various contaminants such as colloids, heavy metals, oil and grease etc. As RO membranes are highly sensitive, micro filtration is gaining popularity as an RO pre treatment solution world wide.

An RO plant is designed on 8 Cu.m / hr / Stream product flow rate with an average recovery of 60%. The feed water at a Reverse Osmosis Plant shall be at 15.0 Cu.m / Hr / Stream.

The above system is designed on the raw water analysis which is furnished with, below:
