Haiderpur Water Treatment plant is the single largest plant in Asia with a capacity of 200 MGD . It is located in Western Delhi on the outer Ring Road near Prashant Vihar , Rohini Sector 15 on the bank of Western Jamuna Canal originating from Tajewala Head Works Haryana . The plant is about 5km from GTKarnal Bypass and 4 km from Madhuban Chowk . It has two independent treatment plants of 100 MGD each. The treatment flow scheme is same for both. A common laboratory has been provided in the waterworks . Haiderpur Water Treatment plant
Western Jamuna Canal (WJC): - It originates from Tajewala Head Works, upstream Yamuna Nagar and then passes through Karnal , Munak , Panipat , Khubru , Kakroi and Bawana to Haiderpur Water Works. Bhakra Storage: Delhi Jal Board receives water from Bhakra Storage through Bhakra Nangal canal which joins WJC near Karnal and carries fresh water for Delhi Water Supply. Raw water is drawn from two sources, viz. the Western Jamuna Canal (WJC) and the Bhakra Storage.

Screening Removes large solids logs branches rags fish Simple process may incorporate a mechanized trash removal system Protects pumps and pipes in Water Treatment Plants Water Treatment Plants 14
Coagulation Small particles are not removed efficiently by sedimentation because they settle too slowly they may also pass through filters easier to remove if they are clumped together Coagulated to form larger particles, but they don't because they have a negative charge repel each other (like two north poles of a magnet) In coagulation we add a chemical such as alum which produces positive charges to neutralize the negative charges on the particles particles can stick together forming larger particles more easily removed process involves addition of chemical (e.g. alum) rapid mixing to dissolve the chemical distribute it evenly throughout water Water Treatment Plants 15
Coagulants Aluminum Sulfate Al 2 (SO 4 ) 3 Ferrous Sulfate FeSO 4 Ferric Sulfate Fe 2 (SO 4 ) 3 Ferric Chloride FeCl 3 Lime Ca (OH) 2 Aluminum salts are cheaper but iron salts are more effective over wider pH range Factors for choosing a coagulant ? Easily available in all dry and liquid forms Economical Effective over wide range of pH Produces less sludges Less harmful for environment Fast Water Treatment Plants 16
Flocculation Now the particles have a neutral charge can stick together The water flows into a tank with paddles that provide slow mixing bring the small particles together to form larger particles called flocs Mixing is done quite slowly and gently in the flocculation step If the mixing is too fast, the flocs will break apart into small particles that are difficult to remove by sedimentation or filtration . Water Treatment Plants 17
Sedimentation water flows to a tank called a sedimentation basin gravity causes the flocs to settle to the bottom Large particles settle more rapidly than small particles It would take a very long time for all particles to settle out and that would mean we would need a very large sedimentation basin. So the clarified water , with most of the particles removed, moves on to the filtration step where the finer particles are removed Water Treatment Plants 18

Filtration The filtration apparatus is a concrete box which contains sand (which does the filtering), gravel (which keeps the sand from getting out) and underdrain (where the filtered water exits) After the filter is operated for a while, the sand becomes clogged with particles and must be backwashed Flow through the filter is reversed and the sand and particles are suspended The particles are lighter than the sand, so they rise up and are flushed from the system. When backwashing is complete, the sand settles down onto the gravel, flow is reversed and the process begins again Water Treatment Plants 20
Disinfection With particles removed, it only remains to provide disinfection, so that no pathogens remain in the water Protozoan pathogens are large in size and have been removed with other particles Bacteria and viruses are now destroyed by addition of a disinfectant Chlorination Enough chlorine is added so that some remains to go out in the water distribution system, protecting the public once the water leaves the plant Water Treatment Plants 21
Distribution Pumping of the clean water produced at the treatment plant to the community is called distribution This can be done directly or by first pumping the water to reservoirs or water storage tanks Water Treatment Plants 22
