According to the results of this study, it showed that the two biological pretreatment processes exhibited high treatment efficiencies and had significant effectiveness in the removal of ammonia nitrogen (NH3 -N). The capital costs, operating and maintenance costs, land requirement, the stability and reliability of operation, etc were compared and evaluated in the pretreatment of contaminated raw water of public water supplies by the two biological pretreatment processes. key words: Rotating Biological Contactor, Biological Contactor Aeration, contaminated raw water, pretreatment, prechlorination 1. Introduction Even though the raw water of a public water supply are badly polluted nowadays, the treatment of public water has always been processed by adding chemical agent which can not remove odor. In order to remove NH3 -N, Pre-chlorination .is to be used but the massive organic compounds of raw water, which react with chlorine, would produced trihalo-methane,a hazardous carcinogenic substance. The water treatment technique of bio-film process is very effectively to remove BOD, COD, anion surface active agent, particularly UH3 -N removal (Nitrification), A plus is to reduce the pre-chlorine dosage. it is considered a powerful way to suppress the generation of trihalo-methane. This study is to explore the characteristics of bio-film process in the raw water treatment, consisting of the rotating biological contactor process (RBC) and the biological contactor and aeration process (BCA). The sampling 1A1-1 water for this experimentation is picked up directly from Keelung river, the most poorly contaminated water source. This achievement gained from the experimentation is very solid, and its results, after carefully reviewing its applicability, could be substantialized and used as the optimal design parameters on the economic, operational and land requirement basis. 2. Experimental Method and Criteria This study applied two methods, RBC and BCA for experiment of pilot plant in association with the following laboratory equipment: 2.1 Biological contactor Aeration processes (BCA) The experimental installation as shown in Fig. 1, consists of reaction tank, contact filter media, diffuser pipes and etc. Its specification in described as follows: Reaction tank: Dimension:1200m/m LX600m/m WX3500m/m H Contact filter media: Dimension: 600m/mX600m/mX100m/m; Specific surface area 326.16m2 /m3 Porous diameter 13mm,9 unit(3 unit per set),1.08 m per set of honey cone.

Schematic Diagram of RBC Pilot Plant The hydraulic loading of the three pilot plants were 200, 500 and 800 1/m -d,equivalent to 1.178, 2.945 and 4.712 1/min in flowrate, respectively. 2.3 Item and Method of Analysis The study was carried out under continuous conditions and the items of daily analysis included temperature, PH, turbidity, alkalinity, dissolve oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), ammonium nitrogen(NH3 -N),nitrite nitrogen (NOjf*-N) , nitrate nitrogen(NO3~-N) and chlorine demand, in accordance with the 16-th edition of the Standard Methods. 3. Results and Discussions The study took a whole year, starting in the mid-August, 1986 and continued to the end of August, 1987. The influent water was tamed for half month to get it matured, then for a variety of testing. , The water quality of the raw water during the experiments are pH=6.0— 7.2, turbidity:5.6 ~ 81NTU, DO=0.8 — 8.6 mg/1, BOD=0.3 ~5.6 mg/1, COD= 3.14 — 18.6 mg/1, NH3 -N=2 .4 ~9 . 4mg/l, NO2~ -N=2 .1 — 442 .2ug/l, NO3"-N=0.55 — 2.06mg/l, water temperature=15—3lTC- The water treatment system used on Taiwan normal includes coagulation, floculation, settling, rapid filtration and disinfection, provides that the raw water quality conforms to the standards of the second class for public water supply. This will serve as the basis in the discussion and comparison of the study results with the performance of other water treatment systems. 3.1 Experimental Results of BAC 3.1.1 Treatment Characteristics under Different Hydraulic Loading According to the experimental results,it can be seen that as the hydraulic loading increases, the quality of the treated water expressed in turbidity, BOD, COD and NH3 -N removal deteriorales. This is caused by the shorter detention time as the hydraulic loading increase. If insufficient time is provided for full reaction, there would be lower removal rates, as illustrated in Fig 3.In Fig 3,it can be found that the removal rate of NH3 -N 'decreases from the hrghest of 92.0% to 71% when the hydraulic loading increases from 5m3 /m3 .d to 30m3 /m3 .d. Thus the removal mechanism of this method was basically nitrification. It was noted from the figure that at the low hydraulic loading, the removal rate of the organic material was not so prominent. While the hydraulic loading was at 5 m3 /m3 .d, and the retention 1A1-3 time maintained at 4.8 hours, most reation notable was nitrification.

  • (Pb) Pollution in the River Estuaries of Jakarta Bay
    The Sustainable City IX, Vol. 2 1555 Analysis of lead (Pb) pollution in the river estuaries of Jakarta Bay M. Rumanta Universitas Terbuka, Indonesia Abstract The purpose of this study is to obtain information about the level of Pb in the sediment of the estuaries surrounding Jakarta Bay and to compare them. Samples were taken from 9 estuaries by using a grab sampler at three different location points – the left, right and the middle sides of the river. Then, samples were collected in one bottle sample and received drops of concentrated HNO3. The taking of samples was repeated three times. In addition, an in situ measurement of pH and temperature of samples was taken as proponent data. The Pb concentration of the river sediment was measured using an AAS flame in the laboratory of Balai Penelitian Tanah Bogor. Data was analyzed statistically (one way ANOVA and t-test student) by using SPSS-11.5 software. The results show that Pb concentration in the sediment of the estuaries surrounding Jakarta was quite high (20–336 µg/g). The sediment of Ciliwung River in the rainy season was the highest (336 µg/g). Pb concentration of sediment in the dry season was higher than that in the rainy season, except in Ciliwung River. It was concluded that all rivers flowing into Jakarta Bay make a significant contribution to the Pb pollution in Jakarta Bay, and the one with the largest contribution was Ciliwung River. Keywords: Pb, sediment, estuaries, dry season, rainy season, AAS flame. 1 Introduction Jakarta Bay (89 km of length) is formed as a result of the extension of Karawang Cape in the eastern region and Kait Cape in the western region into the Java Sea (Rositasari [1]).

Together commitment. we can secure a significant step in sustaining water availability and quality. You have put your Citizen Science Leader training in the classroom and in the field to practice by Ir Hendri Sosiawan collecting many water samples along the Ciliwung Agroclimate and Hydrology Research Institute River. REPORT FIELD You all are the ambassadors who care about the environment, especially the river ecosystem. This ecosystem is particularly vulnerable to pollution. You are all environmental researchers. Your commitment, passion and concern for the quality of the river water is admirable, thank you! Amazon Riverboat Exploration—2012 1 HIGHLIGHTS The highest concentration of nitrate and phosphate in the Ciliwung River is found during the dry season (July-October) and when the agricultural practices for vegetable crops is very intensive. We have found that the fluctuations of nitrate and phosphate concentrations in Ciliwung river are not only influenced by agriculture practices, but also depend on rainwater discharge during the rainy season or dry season. In a tropical country like Indonesia the water river discharge is significantly different between the rainy and dry seasons. So the abundance of nitrate and phosphate in the water during the rainy season was diluted by increased rainwater discharging into the river, even though the agricultural practices along Ciliwung river were at their peak.

In the past few decades, however, these mangrove forests have been largely degraded and destroyed during the process of development. The negative environmental and socio-economic impacts on mangrove ecosystems have led many government and non- government agencies, together with civil societies, to launch mangrove conservation and rehabilitation programmes, especially during the 1990s. In the course of such activities, programme staff have faced continual difficulties in identifying plant species growing in the field. Despite a wide availability of mangrove guidebooks in Southeast Asia, none of these sufficiently cover species that, though often associated with mangroves, are not confined to this habitat.

Bogor Agricultural University Abstract The limited supply of clean water led to some residents in the city, as well as business and trade areas using underground water. Optimization of land used in the development of new towns and expanded impervious land surface, thus reducing infiltration capacity, resulting in an increased volume of runoff. The use of underground water and the reduced infiltration of rainwater resulted in a decrease in the underground water table. To maintain the underground water table and preventing land subsidence resulted from the use of underground water as raw material for clean water. The effort required is how doing underground water conservation. This paper discusses the development of new towns to assess the natural landscape as underground water conservation efforts on the development of the new town. The research method uses a quantitative approach to calculate the potential runoff using a soil conservation service, while to analyze the trend of changes in land cover using temporal spatial analysis, using descriptive analysis.

  • Ic-422 One Dimensional Simulation of Flood Levels in a Tropical River System Using Hec-2 Model
    Joint International Conference on Computing and Decision Making in Civil and Building Engineering June 14-16, 2006 - Montréal, Canada ONE DIMENSIONAL SIMULATION OF FLOOD LEVELS IN A TROPICAL RIVER SYSTEM USING HEC-2 MODEL Thamer Ahmed Mohammed1, Salim Said2, Mohd. Zohadie Bardaie3 and, ShahNor Basri4 Abstract In the present study, the HEC-2 static hydraulic model was used to predict the flood levels along Linggi River in Seremban town, Malaysia. HEC-2 model is based on numerical solution of the one dimensional (1D) energy equation for the steady gradually varied flow using the iteration technique. Calibration and verification of the HEC-2 model were conducted using the recorded data for the Linggi River. After calibration, the model was applied to predict the water surface profiles for Q10, Q30, and Q100 along the watercourse of the Linggi River. The predicted water surface profiles were found to be in agreement with the recorded water surface profiles for Linggi River. The value of the maximum absolute error between the predicted water surface profile and the recorded water surface profile for a stretch of 600 m of Linggi River was found to be 100 mm while the minimum absolute error was 20 mm only. Accuracy of the computed water surface profiles for a river using HEC-2 model is affected by stream geometry, accurate Manning coefficient of roughness and stations interval. Since the modern survey technologies can give an acceptable accuracy in determining cross-sectional geometry of a river, so the sensitivity analysis of the model was limited mainly to the impact of the Manning coefficient of roughness.
