Direct<br \/>sources<br \/>directly<br \/>discharge contaminants into surface water which includes waste water from factories and sewage from<br \/>housing<br \/>colonies.<br \/>Indirect sources include contaminants that enter the water supply from soil\/groundwater systems and from<br \/>the<br \/>atmosphere<br \/>via rain water. Soil and ground waters contain residue of agricultural practices (fertilizers,<br \/>pesticides,<br \/>etc.) and<br \/>improperly disposed of industrial wastes. Atmospheric contaminants are also derived from human practices<br \/>(such as<br \/>gaseous emissions from automobiles, factories and even bakeries).<\/p><\/li><li><h3>How do we detect water pollution?<\/h3><p>Water is polluted by different contaminants and it can be detected by analyzing water samples in<br \/>laboratory.<br \/>Titration<br \/>test is to detect hardness, dissolve oxygen, carbon dioxide and alkalinity. Colorimetric tests are<br \/>performed<br \/>to check<br \/>PH, Phosphate, silica, ammonia and Sulfides. Heavy metal limit test is to determine the level of heavy<br \/>metals.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What is eutrophication? How it can be prevented?<\/h3><p>Increase in the concentration of phosphorus, nitrogen, and other plant nutrients in an aquatic ecosystem<br \/>such as a lake<br \/>is called eutrophication. This rise is nutrient level results in an accelerated life cycle of water plants<br \/>like algae,<br \/>water hyacinth, etc. Vegetative cover restricts entry of light and oxygen in the water. Moreover the<br \/>degrading debris<br \/>uses up all available dissolved oxygen in water rendering the water lifeless. Wastewater should be treated<br \/>for removal<br \/>of phosphorus and nitrates by various physiochemical and biological methods. Effective technologies are<br \/>available in<br \/>removal of nutrients along with BOD and COD. Conventional methods of separate nitrification and<br \/>denitrification can also<br \/>be adopted but with increased cost and area.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>Where does wastewater come from?<\/h3><p>Waste water comes from sewage which includes black water (human waste) and grey water (kitchen and laundry<br \/>waste),<br \/>septic tank discharge, industrial waste which includes effluent and process water. Agricultural practices<br \/>also produce<br \/>waste water by contaminating water with pesticides and fertilizers<\/p><\/li><li><h3>Why is it necessary to treat wastewater?<\/h3><p>Proper treatment of wastewater reduces health risks to humans, animals and prevents surface and<br \/>groundwater<br \/>contamination. Wastewater treatment helps to reuse the waste water and reduces the consumption of fresh<br \/>water.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What is a wastewater treatment system?<\/h3><p>Wastewater treatment is the process of removing contaminants from wastewater and household sewage, both<br \/>runoffs<br \/>(effluents), domestic, commercial and institutional. It includes physical, chemical, and biological<br \/>processes to remove<br \/>physical, chemical and biological contaminants. Its objective is to produce an environmentally safe<br \/>fluid<br \/>waste stream<br \/>(or treated effluent) and a solid waste (or treated sludge) suitable for disposal or reuse (usually as<br \/>farm fertilizer).<\/p><p>Treatment system depends on the characteristics of wastewater and treated water quality to be achieved.<br \/>The treatment<br \/>plant includes primary treatment such as Screens, Grit Chambers &amp; Clarifiers.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What is aerobic wastewater treatment?<\/h3><p>Aerobic wastewater treatment is the process where bacteria requires oxygen for their respiration while<br \/>oxidizing or<br \/>consuming organic matter present in the wastewater. Aerobic bacteria can only convert organic compounds<br \/>when plenty of<br \/>oxygen is present, because they need it to perform any kind of chemical conversion. Usually the products<br \/>they convert<br \/>the contaminants to are carbon dioxide and water<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What is the MLSS and MLVSS?<\/h3><p>MLSS is Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids &amp; MLVSS is Mixed Liquor Volatile Suspended Solids.<br \/>MLSS is total suspende solids in the aeration tank whereas MLVSS is part of MLSS which actually<br \/>concentration of<br \/>biological matter present in aeration tank.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What is F\/M ratio?<\/h3><p>It is ration food to mass ratio ie BOD to the microorganism present in the aeration tank<\/p><\/li><li><h3>12.

This can happen even when the water level is higher on the high<br \/>salt side<br \/>and the water must move against a pressure difference. The bottom line is that osmosis refers to a<br \/>concentration<br \/>difference manifesting itself as a pressure difference.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What is reverse osmosis (RO)?<\/h3><p>The other side of the coin is reverse osmosis. A difference in pressure is used to cause a difference in salt<br \/>concentration. It is as though the pressure is being used to force the water molecules through the membrane<br \/>while<br \/>retaining the larger salt. Salt means any inorganic compound dissolved in water. When water is processed by<br \/>reverse<br \/>osmosis a large fraction of dissolved material is removed. The cleaner the input water the cleaner the output<br \/>water will<br \/>be. Conversely, if your input water is clean enough, you may not need an RO unit.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What are the alternatives to RO?<\/h3><ol type=\"i\"><li>Distillation- It produces clean water by evaporating the water from the input and condensing the steam. It<br \/>is<br \/>highly energy-intensive and expensive unless you have a free source of waste heat. Distillation systems tend<br \/>to be<br \/>low capacity.<\/li><li>Ion-exchange- The systems work by exchanging cations such as calcium and magnesium for the cation on the<br \/>resin,<br \/>usually sodium, potassium or hydrogen. They also exchange anions like carbonate and sulfate for the anion on<br \/>the<br \/>resin, usually chloride or hydroxyl. These systems can be recharged and should be as the resins are very<br \/>expensive.<br \/>The recharging may be just a small annoyance (as with sodium chloride resins) or potentially hazardous (as<br \/>with<br \/>hydrogen\/hydroxyl resins).<\/li><\/ol><\/li><li><h3>How do I know what is in my drinking water?<\/h3><p>If you are on city water, your local water must meet very strict Federal and State standards for purity.<br \/>However, many<br \/>areas use ground water (well water) high in minerals and salts. This can affect taste. All municipally treated<br \/>water is<br \/>chlorinated, and this can also affect taste and create odors in the water. If you are on a private well or<br \/>spring, you<br \/>should have your water tested. Contact AWS for specific recommendations.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>Will RO remove hardness minerals or help cut down on scale build-up in coffee pots, etc.?<\/h3><p>Yes! Most water contains &#8220;total dissolved solids&#8221; (TDS), which is roughly the total inorganic mineral content<br \/>of the<br \/>water, and these are removed. The reverse osmosis membrane separates these dissolved solids, or salts and<br \/>flushes them<br \/>down the drain.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>Will these systems remove lead?<\/h3><p>Yes. Both the RO membrane and the carbon block filter will reduce the lead. Carbon block filters use a<br \/>lead-specific<br \/>filter media combined with the carbon to reduce lead.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>Will RO systems remove parasites or cysts?<\/h3><p>Yes. The RO systems are certified for cyst removal.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>Are bacteria a problem with reverse osmosis systems?<\/h3><p>Yes and no. We have tested many of our systems for total bacteria counts over the years and have not found<br \/>higher levels<br \/>after the systems unless the systems sat for several days in between uses. However, in some cases, bacteria<br \/>can grow,<br \/>particularly when the source water is high in bacteria and\/or low in chlorine residual. We also have<br \/>Ultra-Violet<br \/>Sterilizer Systems that disinfect water after it leaves the filter system, insuring water low in bacteria. The<br \/>manufacturers state in their warranty information that the RO systems are designed to be installed on water<br \/>that is<br \/>disinfected or does not have dangerous bacteria such as e.coli.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>Are RO systems difficult to install?<\/h3><p>No. The RO systems come complete with tubing, fittings and items required to install it. In some cases you<br \/>may need to<br \/>drill a new hole in your sink, or you can use an existing hole to install the RO faucet. Typically a plumber<br \/>will take<br \/>20 minutes to read the installation instructions and 1 to 1-1\/2 hours to do a professional installation, but<br \/>many<br \/>homeowners have installed these themselves.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>The filters should be changed once a year. The membrane should be changed every 3 to 5 years depending on<br \/>the TDS levels in the purified water. How often should I change the filters in an RO system?<\/h3><p>The filters should be changed once a year. The membrane should be changed every 3 to 5 years depending on the<br \/>TDS levels<br \/>in the purified water.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What does mean by &#8216;Recovery&#8217; of RO system?<\/h3><p>&#8216;Recovery&#8217; of RO system is defined as ratio of Permeate Flow to the Feed Flow.<br \/>% Recovery = Permeate Flow\/Feed Flow X 100<br \/>For e.g. : If feed Flow is 100 m3\/hr and Permeate Flow is 60 m3\/hr Then Recovery of RO<br \/>System is 60 %.<br \/>Recovery = 60 m3\/hr\/100 m3\/hr X 100<br \/>= 60 %.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What is meaning of &#8216;Salt Passage&#8217;?<\/h3><p>Theoretically no salt should pass through RO membrane. But no membrane is 100% perfect. Hence some salt does<br \/>pass<br \/>through imperfections on the membrane. Passage of this salt is called &#8216;Salt Passage&#8217;. % Salt Passage =<br \/>Permeate TDS\/Feed<br \/>TDS X 100<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What is meaning of &#8216;Salt rejection&#8217;?<\/h3><p>The percentage of Solute concentration removed from system feed water by the membrane is called &#8216;Salt<br \/>rejection&#8217;. % Salt<br \/>rejection = (1 &#8211; Salt Passage) X 100<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What does it mean by &#8216;Permeate water&#8217;?<\/h3><p>Purified product water produced by membrane is called &#8216;Permeate water&#8217; of RO system.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What is meaning of &#8216;Reject water&#8217;?<\/h3><p>Concentrated high TDS water is rejected by membrane is called &#8216;Reject water&#8217; of RO system.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What does mean by &#8216;Flux&#8217;?<\/h3><p>The rate of Permeate water transported per unit membrane area is called &#8216;Flux&#8217; of RO system.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What is MOC for RO membrane?<\/h3><p>Polyamide and Cellulose acetate are the MOC for RO membrane.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>Does RO system require cleaning?<\/h3><p>Yes, RO system needs cleaning frequently, to remove scaling and fouling from the membrane surface, to improve<br \/>system<br \/>performance.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What factors affect RO performance?<\/h3><p>Pressure, temperature, recovery and feed water salt concentration are the factors which mainly influence the<br \/>RO<br \/>performance.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>Can I use RO reject water for other applications?<\/h3><p>If RO reject TDS is 1000 ppm, we can use it for gardening purpose and toilet flushing purpose. RO reject<br \/>water having<br \/>TDS 1000 ppm to 2000 ppm can also be selectively used for plantation as some plants survive and grow on High<br \/>TDS water.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>Is pH correction required for RO system?<\/h3><p>In some process application where neutral pH (pH 7) is desired, pH correction is required for RO permeate<br \/>water. pH of<br \/>RO permeate water is slightly acidic in nature. It is around 5.5 to 6.4. Normally pH correction is carried out<br \/>by<br \/>caustic or Soda ash solution or by using degasser system. Degasser system removes CO2 (Carbon dioxide) from<br \/>water and<br \/>raise pH of water up to 7 (neutral pH).<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What is feed water limiting condition for RO system?<\/h3><p>Following are the feed water limiting condition for RO system.<\/p><ol type=\"i\"><li>Chlorine : Nil<\/li><li>Suspended solids : &lt; 1 ppm<\/li><li>Turbidity : &lt; 1 NTU<\/li><li>SDI : &lt; 4<\/li><li>BOD and COD : Nil ( In some cases 10 ppm tolerable )<\/li><li>Heavy metals : Nil<\/li><li>Oil and grease : Nil<\/li><li>pH (for cellulose acetate membrane) : 4 &#8211; 6 (for Polyamide membrane) : 3 &#8211; 11<\/li><\/ol><\/li><li><h3>Does chlorine affect RO membrane?<\/h3><p>Yes, if chlorine is present in RO feed water, it will oxidize RO membrane and will increase the pore size of<br \/>RO<br \/>membrane. It will deteriorate RO permeate water quality. Hence chlorine should be Nil in RO feed water.<br \/>Activated carbon<br \/>filter and SMBS dosing system are provided in pretreatment to prevent chlorine from entering RO membrane.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What is tolerable limit for iron for RO system?<\/h3><p>Iron in feed water should be less than 0.3 ppm for trouble free and safe operation of RO system. Fouling will<br \/>take place<br \/>on RO membrane and it will reduce RO permeate flow, if iron is more than 0.3 ppm.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What is the life of reverse osmosis membrane?<\/h3><p>RO membrane will last for at least 3 years with proper operation and maintenance of RO plant and with proper<br \/>pretreatment system.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What is the difference between brackish water and sea water?<\/h3><p>The primary difference between brackish water and seawater is in the amount of dissolved salts\/solids.<br \/>Seawater contains<br \/>higher amounts of dissolved solids ie from 10000 mg\/l to over 40000 mg\/l of total dissolved solids. Water that<br \/>has &lt; 10000 mg\/l dissolved solids is considered to be Brackish. The greater the salt content of the water, the<br \/>higher the pressure or electric power needed to treat water using membranes, resulting in higher energy<br \/>costs.<\/p><\/li><\/ol><h2>DTRO \u2013 Disc Tube Reverse Osmosis<\/h2><ol><li><h3>What is INDION\u00ae DTRO?<\/h3><p>Disc tube reverse osmosis (INDION\u00ae DTRO) technology has a distinct module structure than the spiral reverse<br \/>osmosis<br \/>technology. The feed flow enters the pressure vessel and reaches the disc in a short distance. With open flow<br \/>channels,<br \/>the feed flows 180 degrees over one side of the membrane and reverse flow to the other side, flowing on to the<br \/>next<br \/>disc. The reject and permeate flow down to the outlet. This flow reversal causes turbulence and an open<br \/>channel flow<br \/>path reduces the need for extensive pre-treatment.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What is difference between Conventional RO and INDION\u00ae DTRO?<\/h3><p>The Conventional RO system requires extensive pre treatment to meet stringent feed limiting condition like<br \/>SDI &lt; 3, turbidity &lt;1 NTU, O&amp;G \u2013 NIL. Hence UF system is must as pre-treatment to meet above SDI limits.<br \/>Membrane replacement cost is comparatively higher as entire membrane needs to be replaced. Whereas, DTRO<br \/>requires less pre treatment due to its unique assembly feature and can handle SDI upto15 to 20, turbidity<br \/>&lt;10, O&amp;G up to 10 ppm. Hence only Sand Filtration is sufficient as Pre-treatment to DTRO system. It can<br \/>handle higher fluctuations in feed quality. Membrane replacement cost is lower as individual membrane<br \/>cushion can be replaced.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What are the limiting conditions for Feed BOD &amp; COD in INDION\u00ae DTRO?<\/h3><p>There are no such feed limiting conditions for COD &amp;

Is it possible to concentrate high salinity effluent upto TDS concentration of 140000 ppm by membrane<br \/>based system?<\/h3><p>Yes we can concentrate high TDS effluent upto 140000 ppm with help of AMBC system.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>Does AMBC require thermal energy?<\/h3><p>The AMBC process uses only electrical energy and does not require any thermal energy or vapour compression.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>Does AMBC system require energy lesser than thermal brine concentrator?<\/h3><p>Yes. AMBC based system require fraction of energy compared to thermal energy brine concentrator.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What pretreatment required for AMBC?<\/h3><p>The pre-treatment requirements for AMBC are similar to that of a RO system. Impurities that can scale or foul<br \/>the<br \/>membranes are needed to be minimized prior to AMBC.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What operating pressure required in AMBC system?<\/h3><p>The operating pressures required in AMBC system are very much similar to that of seawater desalination RO<br \/>systems i.e 60<br \/>\u2013 70 bar.<\/p><\/li><\/ol><h2>Waste to Energy<\/h2><ol><li><h3>What is INDION\u00ae WASTE TO ENERGY SYSTEM?<\/h3><p>The INDION\u00ae Waste to Energy System design is a cost-effective treatment that takes a radically different<br \/>approach using<br \/>a novel combination of proven technology to manage the problems of sludge, organic waste \/municipal solid<br \/>waste.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What mean by Organic solid waste?<\/h3><p>Organic Solid waste means any segregated garbage or refuse from residential, industrial, or commercial areas<br \/>etc.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What is sewage sludge?<\/h3><p>Sewage sludge is the sludge generated from Sewage treatment plants (STP) provided for community<br \/>hotels\/institute\/universities.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>How INDION\u00ae WASTE TO ENERGY SYSTEM minimizes disposal cost of sewage sludge?<\/h3><p>INDION\u00ae WASTE TO ENERGY SYSTEM is based on co digestion of organic solid waste and sewage sludge, which<br \/>reduces the<br \/>quantity of sludge.<\/p><\/li><li><h3>What are the basic steps of INDION\u00ae WASTE TO ENERGY SYSTEM?<\/h3><ol type=\"i\"><li>Reception of Segregated Organic Solid Waste and STP sludge conditioning<\/li><li>Mechanical pre-treatment- To Shred organic waste and homogenize it with thickened sewage sludge via<br \/>macerator.<\/li><li>Biogas handling system: Biogas generated from system shall be treated and converted to electrical power<br \/>and heat.<\/li><li>Digested sludge shall be dewatered and used as fertilizer\/ manure.
