18、design of large systems.6. Apparatus6.1 Installation:6.1.1 To prevent contamination by corrosion products, usestainless steel, plastic, or coated (rubber or epoxy-lined) steelfor all wetted parts.6.1.2 Take care to ensure that no contamination will occurfrom oil films on new metal piping, release ag

19、ents on rawplastic components, or from solutions previously used in thesystem. Thoroughly clean or degrease, or both, any materialsthat are suspect.6.1.3 Design all pressurized components based on themanufacturers working pressure rating. Review the manufac-turers rating for compliance with standard

20、 engineering prac-tice.6.1.4 Assemble the system as shown in Fig. 1. The holdingtank just preceding the filter is optional. Use a manual flowcontrol valve to regulate the filter effluent flow.NOTE 1Since the filter is intended to be operated at constant flow withdifferential pressure changes across

21、the filter, manual flow adjustmentsmay be required periodically. For streams that yield a high filter loadingrate, an automatic flow control valve might be required.NOTE 2If a holding tank is used, it should be designed to obtainuniform flow to minimize stagnant zones and to keep the floc suspended.

22、It should also be sized to obtain the desired retention and contain an airvent.6.1.5 Operate the apparatus by drawing water from thewater supply and pumping it through the system under pres-sure. Use a gauge pressure of 275 to 345 kPa (40 to 50 psi) asthe filter inlet pressure.NOTE 3If the water sup

23、ply is already sufficiently pressurized, thepressurizing centrifugal pump is not required.6.1.6 Use a single calibrated pressure gauge equipped witha “quick-connect” fitting to measure the filter inlet pressure andfilter pressure drop. Individual gauges are also satisfactory butnot as reliable as a

24、single “quick-connect” pressure gauge.6.1.7 Use either a flowmeter or a calibrated volume con-tainer and stopwatch to measure the filter effluent flow.6.1.8 Use an accurate metering pump to inject the flocculantor coagulant, or both. Use an injector with a check valve andlocate the teat of the injec

25、tor in the center of the flowing streamand in the vertical position.6.1.9 Use a calibrated volume container and stopwatch tomeasure the injection pump rate.NOTE 4If the suction line of the metering pump is placed into thevolume container, it is necessary to subtract the volume displaced by thesuctio

26、n line.6.1.10 With small inside diameter piping (12-in. nominal),use five or six right-angle elbows for mixing. With large insidediameter piping, use in-line static mixing to obtain goodmixing.6.1.11 Valve the filter so the raw water supply can be usedfor backwashing.6.1.12 To protect the pump, inst

Either ahigh-pressure limit control switch or a pressure-relief device ca

Reagents7.1 For a list of typical coagulants and the preparation ofpolyelectrolyte solutions, refer to Practice D2035.8. Procedure8.1 Start-Up Procedure:8.1.1 First, backwash the filter with the su

30、pply water tothoroughly clean the filter medium. Use the backwash raterecommended by the filter medium supplier, which is usually20 to 50 m3/(hm2) of filter area (8 to 20 gal/(minft2).Backwash the filter until the turbidity (as determined by TestMethod D7315) of the backwash is equal (within 10 %) t

31、o theturbidity of the supply water. For all sampling, follow theprocedure given in Practices D3370.NOTE 6New medium usually contains many fines which need to beremoved for the best filter performance. During backwash approximately2 to 3 % of the medium can be siphoned off at the top of bed to remove

32、fines.8.1.2 After backwashing, operate the filter in the servicemode and adjust the flow rate and pressure by adjusting boththe flow control valve and the pressure control valve.8.1.2.1 Set the inlet pressure to the filter at a gauge pressureof 275 to 345 kPa (40 to 50 psi).8.1.2.2 Set the flow rate

33、 based on filter medium suppliersrecommendation, which is usually 5 to 15 m3/(hm2) of filterarea (2 to 6 gal/(minft2).8.2 Operating Procedure:8.2.1 To determine the effectiveness of the filter medium inremoving colloidal and suspended particles with addition offlocculants or coagulants, or both, pro

34、ceed to 8.2.3. To deter-mine the ability of the filter medium in removing colloidal andsuspended particles without addition of flocculants orcoagulants, or both, operate the filter for 30 min. Then,measure the water quality of the filter effluent and compare itto the quality of the supply water. Whe

35、re possible measure theturbidity of the filter effluent on line using Test Method D6698,otherwise use Test Method D6855 or D7315 to measure thewater quality. Repeat the water quality measurements every 30min until results indicate equilibration of the filter.8.2.2 Repeat 8.1.1 and 8.1.2.8.2.3 Start

36、the flocculant or coagulant injection pump toinject a previously prepared solution. Initially, set the injectionpump rate to obtain 2 mg/L of the flocculant or coagulant in thesupply water.8.2.3.1 Set the concentration of flocculant or coagulant inthe supply water using the injection pump curves (pu

37、mpingrate against back pressure), concentration of flocculant orcoagulant in the chemical feed tank, and the flow rate of waterthrough the filter. For example, for a 250-mm (10-in.) diameterfilter operating at 3.785 L/min (1 gal/min) and a polyelectrolytefeed solution concentration of 200 mg/L, the

38、injection pumpshould be adjusted to the following rate to obtain 2 mg/L in thesupply water: Dilution of polyelectrolyte feed solution of 100to 1 will give 2 mg/L.Therefore:3.785 L/min! / X L/min! 5 100 (1)X 5 0.03785 L/min 5 37.85 mL/min (2)Therefore, set injection pump rate at 37.8 mL/min.8.2.3.2 I

39、f polyelectrolyte from supplier is a liquid, assume100 % active ingredient.8.2.4 After the injection rate has been set, measure theinjection rate (see 6.1.9).8.2.5 Allow 5 min of operation to equilibrate the mixingsection then obtain a water sample just after the mixing sectionand measure the zeta p

40、otential, if applicable.NOTE 7For most natural waters, optimum coagulation-flocculationwill occur at a zeta potential of 0 6 2 mV. Zeta potential measurementsare only useful for cationic polyelectrolytes and inorganic coagulants(alum and iron). If a nonionic or anionic polyelectrolyte is used, omit

41、thezeta potential measurement.NOTE 8For waters with high total dissolved solids, for example,seawater, zeta potential measurements are not meaningful.8.2.6 Adjust the concentration of flocculant or coagulant, orboth, either up or down to obtain the desired zeta potential.8.2.7 After the desired zeta

42、 potential has been obtained,allow the system to operate for 15 to 20 min, and then measurethe filter effluent water quality and compare to the supply waterquality (before flocculant or coagulant, or both, addition) usingturbidity, suspended solids, or silt density index. Repeatmeasurements (both ef

43、fluent water quality and zeta potential)every 30 to 45 min until equilibration of the system hasoccurred. (For further information about slit density index, seeTest Method D4189.)8.2.8 If the desired zeta potential value is unknown or if zetapotential measurements are not made, then the coagulantcon

44、centration must be varied and equilibrated values of theeffluent water quality obtained at each concentration to deter-mine the optimum concentration, that is, that concentration offlocculant or coagulant, or both, which gives acceptableeffluent water quality.NOTE 9Exercise care since excess coagula

45、nt or flocculant, or both,can be adsorbed by the filter medium, and several hours may be requiredbefore true equilibration of the system occurs.8.2.9 Measure the pH and the temperature of the filtereffluent for future reference.NOTE 10For some coagulants, for example, alum, the pH is animportant par

46、ameter and control of the pH within certain limits is usuallydesirable.8.2.10 In operating the system, periodically measure andmake appropriate adjustment of the filter inlet pressure, filterflow rate, and injection pump rate.8.2.11 To determine the effect of filtration rate on effluentwater quality

47、, repeat 8.1.1 to 8.2.9 but set the flow rate in8.1.2.2 at different values.8.2.12 To determine the effect of different flocculants orcoagulants, or both, on the effluent water quality, repeat 8.1.1to 8.2.9, using different flocculants or coagulants, or both.8.2.13 To evaluate different medium, repl

48、ace filter or filtermedium with new medium and repeat 8.1.1 to 8.2.9.D4188 1738.2.14 To determine the need for backwashing for a givenmedium, and flocculant or coagulant, or both, operate thesystem as in 8.2.7 for extended time periods and monitor theeffluent quality. When the effluent quality deter

49、iorates or whenthe pressure drop across the filter reaches the suppliersrecommended maximum limit, backwash the filter.NOTE 11The interval between backwashings can vary from a fewhours to several weeks, depending on the quantity of suspended andcolloidal material in the supply water, the filter flow rate, the type offlocculant or coagulant, or both, used, and the filter design.8.2.15 To determine the filter rinse time, first determine theoptimum concentration of flocculant or coagulant, or both, at agiven filter flow rate. Then backwash the filter as in 8.1
