Title: Water Treatment Plant

Water Treatment Plant
EMAP 2006
  • By
  • Erica Lopez
  • Tiffany Thomas
  • Clay Montgomery
  • Tyler Sims
  • GRA Celina Bochis

Objectives
  • Build water treatment plant to serve the water
    park and surrounding communities (expand the city
    limits)
  • Build small water treatment plant just for the
    park with only a sand filter and chlorine
    disinfection involved
  • The location of the larger treatment plant will
    not be on the park site
  • It will be on the nearest strip mine (brownfields)

Treatment Plant Proposed Location
4
Plan for Treatment Plant Location
  • The strip mine is owned by the Gulf State Paper
    Corporation.
  • This is the brownfields that thecity could
    pursue for development opportunities.
  • Mr. Warner (owner) has been very generous in
    providing properties in the past for city
    projects.
  • City needs ADEM and EPA approval and help with
    funding for cleaning.
  • City may have funding to help clean and renovate
    the brownfields.

5
Lake Nichol
  • Built in 1954 and used as a water supply for city
    of Tuscaloosa.
  • 380 acres and has a water capacity of 3.3
    billion gallons.
  • Originally designed for approximately 50,000
    people.
  • Use existing pipes and the pump station for our
    water plant in order to save cost.

6
Treatment Plant Based onWater Consumption
  • Domestic usage 15-70 gal/cap-day
  • Public usage 5-20 gal/cap-day
  • Commercial/Industrial usage 10-100 gal/cap-day
  • Maximum usage between 6-8 am and 6-8 pm.
  • Minimum usage
  • between 1 and 5 am.
  • Park water rides water usage

7
Typical Water Treatment Plant
  • Chemical mixing basin
  • Flocculation Basin
  • Settling Tank
  • Rapid Sand Filter
  • Disinfection with Chlorine
  • Storage basin
  • Pump

8
Water Usage(from literature)
Ed Love Plant Water Storage Capacity 25.4 mil.
Gal Water Treatment Capacity 45.7 mil. Gal/
day Population Served 133,000 people
9
Predicted Water Usage for Tuscaloosa
  • Consumption (Water Treatment Capacity-Water
    Storage Capacity)/Population
  • Consumption (45.7 mil-25.4 mil)gal-day/133,000pe
    ople
  • Consumption 153 gal/day-person

10
Population Prediction
  • General population for the Lake Nichol area is
    about 2,400 people
  • We used the arithmetic method to predict the
    population growth
  • dP/ dt K
  • where
  • dP/dt growth rate
  • K constant
  • Final population Initial population Kdt
  • We estimate the final population to be 10,000
    people.

11
Conceptual Design
  • Period 25 years
  • Population 10,000
  • Flow 100 gallons/cap-day
  • Area
  • Watermelon Rd.
  • Yellow Creek Rd.
  • Old Lock 15 Rd.

12
Cost
  • Building the water treatment plant
  • 3/gallon of treated water
  • 25/linear foot of pipe
  • Cleaning the brownfields
  • Money from ADEM and EPA
  • City of Tuscaloosa funds

13
So In Review
  • We are providing a conceptual design for
    consideration.
  • We plan to create a separate treatment system for
    the area due to population increases.
  • The property and design we use would need
    approval from ADEM and the EPA.
  • We hope the city will use some of its funds to
    renovate the brownfields.
