| Abstract | In this study a computer programme was developed to
the integral plant design in a techno-economic manner with
respect to operating parameters of each unit operations.
This study consisted of three main parts:
1) Technical evaluation of individual unit operation was
made by using the following models to predict the
performance of flocculation, sedimentation and
filtration, respectively . The design parameters used
also are mentioned with the model.
- Boadway's Flocculation Model (Flocculation Time)
- Camp's Approach to Class-1 Settling Model (Overflow-Rate)
- O'Melia - Ali's Filtration Model (Filtration Velocity)
2) The formulation of cost functions for capital and
operational and maintenance costs for each unit
operations in water treatment plant using the data
available in Thailand.
3) The simulation of the technical performance and cost of
the whole water treatment plant for three configurations
(i. e Contact Filtration, Direct Filtration and
Conventional Treatment ) was made to select the optimum
design parameters which satisfy the effluent standard at
minimum total investment costs.
*Here conventional water treatment refers to the plants
consisting of unit operations flocculation, sedimentation and
filtration in the given order. |
