This is the pipe gallery located directly underneath the filters.
These pipes are used to carry the filtered water to the clear well
where it is disinfected. Also you can see the big tanks in the middle
of the gallery on both sides. The smaller tanks hold sodium hypochlorite
and the feed pumps located in front of those tanks regulate the amount
of disinfectant used to Chlorinated the water. On the other side,
the larger two tanks contain Alum. Alum is a positively charged chemical
that is added to the water during the flocculation process. Alum combines
with particles in the water causing them to clump together into larger
heavier particles that settle out of the water during the sedimentation
process. The feed pumps in front of these tanks are also used to regulated
the chemical as it pumps into the water. |
