OPERATION MANUAL
1. RAW WATER INTAKE STRUCTURE AND PUMP STATION

Untreated water from the Great Zab River flows by gravity into the Raw Water Intake
Structure and Pump Station. At normal river flow, the depth of the water flowing in the river is
approximately 1.27 m.
The raw water intake and pump station structures and equipment include the Raw Water
Intake, Raw Water Pump Station, Raw Water Pumps, Raw Water Force Main, and Desilting
Pumps. Raw water is pumped from the Raw Water Intake Structure/Pump Station to the
Rapid Mix Station located east of the clarifiers at the WTP.
1.1 Raw Water Intake Structure, Automatic Trash rake and Bar Screen
Raw water from the river flows through an intake structure to the Raw Water Pump Station.
The concrete intake structure consists of two channels. Automatic Trash racks and bar
screens are located at the wet well end of the intake channels to prevent debris larger than
75 mm from entering the wet wells.
Automatic trash rake screen is a mechanically cleaning screen which is installed in the intake
towers, inlet works of treatment plants, pumping stations and water inlet structures to capture
solid materials which otherwise would be harmful to following
processes and to the downstream equipment.
Automatic trash rakes screen consist of screen part, screen
cleaner and travelling trolley part and overhead monorail part.
Lifting and lowering of the screen cleaner part is ropecontrolled, whilst opening and closing is hydraulically
operated.
Two manually operated sluice gates after the trash racks allow isolation of each wet well. A
third sluice gate is installed between the two wet wells allowing water from one wet well to
flow into the other.
1.2 Raw Water Pumps

Raw Water Pump Station is comprised of the wet wells, the pumps, and the building that
houses associated electrical components. Seven vertical turbine pumps are installed in each
wet well. 4 existing and 3 new pumps, total seven pumps serving as a standby or spare
pump.
Seven Raw Water Pump Control Panels are located in the Raw Water Electrical Building.
WTP personnel operate Raw Water Pumps No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, No. 6, and No.

room.

To operate the pump from the Control Station;

the Local/Remote switch at the Control Panel will be in the Local position and the
Local/Remote switch at the Control Station will be in the Local position.
The pump will then be operated using the Start and Stop pushbuttons of the Control Station.
To operate the pump from the Local Control Panel,
the Control Station Local/Remote switch will be in the Remote Position, and the Control
Panel Local/Remote switch will be in the Local position.
The pump will then be operated using the Start and Stop pushbuttons of the Control Panel.
Regardless of the mode of operation, once a pump is started it will run until manually
stopped or a pump failure occurs. No downstream inputs control operation of the pumps.
Each pump is equipped with a temperature sensor in the motor windings and bearings. A
high temperature signal will cause a pump failure. Wet well low level will also cause a pump
failure to protect pump from empty suction.

The Raw Water Pumps are equipped with seals. These seals must be continually cooled and
lubricated.
The seals of the Raw Water Pumps are cooled and lubricated using the WTPs W2 protected
water supply. The source of this W2 water is the High Service Pump Station. The pressure of
the W2 water supply for the Raw Water Pumps is reduced prior to use as seal water. Two
Pressure Reducing Stations are located on the pump stations second floor. Flow meters are
in place to measure the seal water flow rate of each pump.
Raw water is pumped from the discharge header to the Rapid Mix Basin of the WTP through
a 1000 mm diameter existing force main that is approximately 0.2 km long and 1000mm
diameter newly installed force main approximately 0.2 km long. The buried force mains are
constructed of Cement Lined Ductile Iron (CLDI) pipe.
1.3 Desilting Pumps

Silt in the untreated river water will settle in the wet wells. This silt collects in the sumps
constructed in each wet well. A submersible sump pump is installed in each sump. The
Submersible Desilting Pumps, two of existing and five of new in the sump of wet well, pump
settled silt out of the sumps directly back to the river.
These pumps are 7.5 hp vortex pumps rated at 45 m3 per hour at 10 m TDH. The pumps
can be operated either automatically or manually via a Hand/Off/Automatic selector switch on
the Control Panel located adjacent to Wet Well No.1. A summary of Desilting Pump

1.4 Raw Water Flow Meter

The raw water flow measuring device is a magnetic flow meter, one existing and one newly
placed in the Raw Water force main just before the piping enters the Rapid Mix Basin.

Magnetic meters obtain the flow velocity by measuring the changes of induced
voltage of the conductive fluid passing across a controlled magnetic field. A typical magnetic
flow meter places electric coils around (inline type) or near (insertion type) the pipe of the
flow to be measured and sets up a pair of electrodes across (inline type) the pipe wall or at
the tip (insertion type) of the flow meter. If the targeted fluid is electrically conductive, i.e., a
conductor, its passing through the pipe is equivalent to a conductor cutting across the
magnetic field. This induces changes in voltage reading between the electrodes. A higher
flow speed or velocity results in a higher voltage.
The Raw Water Flow Meters are 900 mm insertion type flow meter. Instantaneous and
totalized flows are displayed on the flow meter panel located above the Rapid Mix Basins.
2. ALUM FEED SYSTEM

Alum (aluminum sulfate) is a nontoxic material commonly used in water treatment plants to
remove suspended solids and sediment from potable water. Alum reacts with the raw waters
alkaline compounds (calcium bicarbonates) to form a gelatinous (jelly-like) aluminium
hydroxide precipitate called floc. Floc attracts suspended solids including fine silt, bacteria,
color-causing particles and viruses. The initial floc in the rapid mixing stage is called microfloc, and in the flocculator processes is called macro-floc in which it settles by gravity in the
clarifier unit. This process significantly reduces the amount of suspended solids loading to
the rapid sand filters and in finished water.
The alum feed system consists of an alum storage area, four mixing tanks, and total ten alum
feed pumps.
Alum is stored in the treatment facility in dry bags in the alum storage area. It is then mixed
into a concentrated solution using four alum mix tanks. Each mix tank contains a mixer to
keep the alum from settling out of solution. Chemical feed pumps then deliver the
concentrated alum solution to the rapid mix basin where alum is introduced into the water
treatment process. Alum feed pump and mix tank locations are shown below drawing.

2.1 Alum Mixing Tanks

Bags of dry alum are placed in the mixing tanks where water is added to attain the correct
alum solution concentration. Mixing tanks are located on the lower floor of the Alum and
Polymer Building. Each tank is approximately 4.0 m x 4.0 m x 2.6 m in dimension.
2.2 Alum Mixers

One top-entering, base plate mounted turbine chemical mixer is provided for each alum mix
tank. The mixers are used to keep alum suspended in solution inside the alum mixing tanks.
Mixers are turned on and off using a local push button and are operated whenever alum
solution is located in the alum mixing tanks. The mixers operate at a water depth of
approximately 0.7 m. Additional mixer information is provided in the table below.

2.3 Alum Feed Pumps

Alum feed pumps are used to pump the alum slurry created in the mix tanks to the Rapid Mix
Basin. One alum feed pump skid is provided for each alum mix tank. Each skid contains two
pumps; In existing system there are six pumps and 4 more added newly. The pumps are
positive displacement complete with spring-loaded pump heads and self-contained variable
speed drives.
One control panel is provided for existing six alum feed pump skid and one control panel is
provided for new four alum feed pumps. The panels are IP66 (NEMA 4), 400 volt, 50 Hz, 3
phase. A Hand-Off-Auto switch on the control panels control the operation of the alum feed
pumps. In Hand mode, the pump speed is controlled by the Hand Control potentiometer. In
Auto mode, the pump speed is controlled by the Dosage Control module and the Raw Water
Flow 4-20 mAdc signal. In Automatic mode, Pump1/Pump2/Both selects which pump is in
operation. Additional feed pump information is provided in the table below.

2.4 Alum Solution Preparation

Dry alum is too concentrated and cannot be added directly to the water treatment plant flow
stream. It must first be diluted to a 20% solution using water. Bags of dry alum are placed
manually in the mixing tanks where water is added to attain a 20 % alum solution
concentration. The table below shows the amount of water and alum required to attain the
correct alum concentration.

Approximately 3,225 kg of dry alum is required for every one meter of water inside the alum
mix tank. One alum mix tank filled 2.6 m can be used for approximately 11.4 hours at the
WTPs maximum alum usage rate of 80 mg/L. If alum is used at the WTPs average rate of
30 mg/L, one alum mix tank filled 2.6m can be used for approximately 1.8 days.
2.5 Polymer Feed System

Polymers are water-soluble electrolytes used as secondary coagulants in the treatment
process. Polymers are applied to promote bonds between particles in the formation of
macro-floc to assist in the removal of suspended solids from raw water. The function of the
polymer system is to use dry polymer and water to prepare a polymer solution of desired
concentration and to pump the polymer solution to the raw water stream at the Rapid Mix
Structure. An automated dry polymer system is provided to feed the required dosage of
chemical to the water treatment stream.
Additionally two spare parts of alum feed pumps (Seepex) have been provided for future
usage.

2.6 Safety
Aluminum sulfate is harmful if swallowed or inhaled. Inhalation causes coughing and
potentially shortness of breath. Upon contact with skin or eyes, aluminum sulfate causes
irritation, redness, itching, and pain. If aluminum sulfate comes in contact with eyes or skin,
flush or wash the affected area for 15 minutes with water. Lower floor of Alum Building one
existing and one newly installed eye wash and upper floor one new eye wash with shower is
available for emergency cases.
In Alum Building Electrical Room, newly installed FM200 fire suppression is available.
It is also known as HFC227ea. FM200 is a waterless fire protection system; it is discharged
into the risk within 10 seconds and suppresses the fire immediately.

3. CHLORINE SYSTEM
Disinfection of drinking water is a traditional element in public health protection. It is one of
the barriers used in standard practice by water suppliers against the microbiological
contamination of drinking water. The goal of disinfection is to kill or render harmful
microbiological organisms that cause disease. Chlorine is a widely accepted disinfectant for
drinking water because it is effective against broad spectrum of pathogens including bacteria,
viruses, and protozoa. Another requirement for a disinfectant is its ability to continue to
prevent or inhibit microbial growth after the treated water enters the distribution system.
Chlorine residual can protect against some post-treatment contamination that may result
from improper cross-connections or main breaks and provides a way to monitor microbial
water quality after the water leaves the treatment plant.
At the Erbil WTP, pre-chlorination is provided to prevent microbial growth in the treatment
system, while post-chlorination is necessary for disinfection and to provide a treatment
residual chlorine. Chlorination also improves the water quality by controlling taste and odour,
while assisting in the removal of iron and manganese. The water treatment plant also
benefits from the use of chlorine as it aids in sedimentation, assists in maintaining clear filter
media, prevents algae growth, and controls slime growth thereby preserving process
integrity.
The chlorine feed system consists of 1 metric tonne chlorine cylinders, a vacuum regulator,
and three chlorine ejectors. This system is automated through the use of two chlorine scales,
a switchover module, and a local PLC.
Chlorine Feed System
20

Each ejector can be independently operated via its respective local control panel in the
chlorinator room in the chlorine building. On each control panel is a Hand/Automatic selector
switch that allows for either automatic or manual control. When set to auto, the PLC receives
signals from flow transmitters and chlorine residual analyzers. It interprets the signals and
adjusts chlorine flow through the automatic valve to reach operator defined set points. When
the chlorine in a cylinder is exhausted, the switchover module will obtain chlorine from the
backup cylinder to provide uninterrupted service.
Chorine storage and feed equipment is housed in the Central Chemical Building. The
chemical feed system utilizes 1,000-kilogram containers for delivery and storage of chlorine
gas. Separate chlorinators are provided for each chlorine application point. Existing system
desing for ten (10) chlorinators (Vacuum Regulator) and recently six (6) more chlorinators
are added newly. Chlorine gas is ejected into solution at the chemical feed building, and
carried to the point of application in solution. Chlorine solution is injected upstream of the
rapid mixer basin, after the sedimentation process (after clarifiers), and upstream of the
treated water clear well. Water for injection of chlorine is obtained from a WTP water supply
line tapped into the high lift pump discharge pipe. A summary of the chlorine feed equipment
is provided in the table below.

4. RAPID MIX TANK AND MIXERS

Raw river water is pumped from the Raw Water Pump Station to the Rapid Mixers. The
purpose of the Rapid Mixers is to quickly disperse coagulating chemicals (alum and polymer)
and chlorine into the process stream, maximizing the immediate contact between the
chemicals and the suspended solids in the water. Water and chemicals entering the mixer
are forced through rapid changes in flow direction causing the chemicals to quickly mix with
the water. The Rapid Mix Structure is located at a combination influent metering and
chemical addition station. Chlorine, alum, and polymer are injected into the existing and new
installed 1,000 mm raw water pipelines just prior to entering the Rapid Mix Structure.
Chlorine is used for initial disinfection. Alum is the primary coagulant. Polymer is used as a
secondary coagulant or a coagulant aid.
4.1 Rapid Mix Tanks

The Rapid Mix Structure is constructed of reinforced concrete and is comprised of several
common wall chambers, or basins. Four mixing basins are provided in the Rapid Mix
Structure; existing two basins are utilized and currently other two basins are utilized as well
for the 10,000 m3/hr base flow.
Raw water enters the inlet chamber and is diverted into Mixing Basins 1 and 2 through one of
two sluice gates (WN02-25SCG-001 and -002). A third sluice gate (WN02-25SCG-006) is
provided to divert flow to another inlet chamber (Currently in use due to the plant is
expanded) . Two sluice gates (WN02-25SCG-003 and -004) are also installed and will be
used as the plant extended, between Inlet Chamber 2 and Mixing Basins 3 and 4. Sluice
gates WN02-25SCG-001 through -004 are subject to seating heads from water in the inlet
chambers. Sluice gate WN02-25SCG-006 is subject to seating and unseating heads from
both inlet chambers. After mixing, water exits the mixing basins over a weir plate into a
common detention basin. The detention basin is split into two areas connected by a baffle
wall with three 1000 x 1000 mm openings along the bottom. From the detention basin, water
flows over a weir plate, then through each of the ten (10) slide gates and flows by gravity to
the clarifiers. All of the gates are controlled manually with floorstand operators. Weir
elevations are set by sliding the plate up or down and tightening the concrete bolts through
slotted openings to the wall. Weir plates installed at the mixing basin outlets are installed at
identical elevations. All of the weir plates installed at the detention basin outlets are also
installed at identical elevations
4.2 Rapid Mixers

To disperse the coagulants, each Rapid Mix Tank is equipped with one top entry, vertical
shaft-mounted turbine impeller sized to provide a velocity gradient of 600 to 1,000 seconds-1
as shown in picture.

5. FLOCCULATOR CLARIFIERS
Effluent from the Rapid Mix Structure flows by gravity to the Flocculator Clarifiers for the
sedimentation process. The purpose of the Flocculator Clarifiers is to produce clarified
effluent, as well as collect sludge and scum from the gravity settling basins. Flocculator
clarifier equipment is designed to flocculate solids previously subjected to a rapid mix step,
and to settle, collect, and rake the solids to the flocculator clarifier centre for removal. Ten
(10) Flocculator Clarifiers, with an average influent capacity of 1,000 m3/hr each, are
provided for the initial plant phase of 10,000 m3/hr (WN02-30FCL-001 through -010). The
Flocculator Clarifiers utilize 38-meter diameter tanks, each with a nominal treatment capacity
rating of 1,000 m3/hr.
Page 16 drawing presents a cutaway sectional view of the Flocculator Clarifier.
24

25

5.1 Flocculation Well

The influent to the Flocculator Clarifiers utilizes a steel center pier, which serves as the
influent feed pipe. The pier supports the drive mechanism, sludge collection equipment, and
the access bridge. The feed is diffused through ports located below the surface at the tank
centre, into a circular 14-meter diameter flocculation well from which it flows out radially
towards the peripheral overflow weir. The flocculation well is designed to provide efficient
hydraulic control and distribution of influent flow, and enhance flocculation utilizing four
flocculators within each Flocculator Clarifier. The Flocculator Clarifier is controlled manually
with an On/Off switch in the local control panel at the access bridge. A High torque alarm will
automatically shut down the Flocculator Clarifier.
5.2 Flocculators
Four vertical shaft paddle Flocculators are located within the flocculation well of each
Flocculator Clarifier. Below Flocculating Mechanizm Figure presents plan and profile views of
one of the Flocculators. The Flocculators are identified as WN02-30MO-001-(A, B, C, or D)
through WN02-30MO-010-(A, B, C, or D). The flocculation speed is adjustable by use of a
variable speed mechanism. Each paddle section is provided with four paddle arms. Steel
blades are mounted to each paddle arm with adjustable angles. The paddle tip speed is to
not exceed 0.7 m/s, and is not to
be destructive to floc that is
formed. The Flocculators are sized
to provide a velocity gradient of 60
seconds-1. The Flocculators are
controlled with an On/Off/Auto
switch in the local control panel at
the access bridge. In Auto mode,
the Flocculators will run when the
Flocculator Clarifier is called to
run, and stop when the Flocculator
Clarifier stops.
Flocculating Mechanizm

5.3 Clarifiers
After the influent is mixed within the flocculator well, it migrates radially outward and enters
the clarifier. Sufficient detention time is allowed to permit the solids in the feed to settle
during the time of flow from the influent to the point of effluent collection. The effluent is
removed at the tank periphery. Effluent collection should be adjusted to continuously remove
a uniform amount of effluent and to eliminate irregular flow at any one place. Any irregularity
will cause flow to be diverted at certain points, and the velocity at these points may be high
enough to carry fine solids with the effluent.
The raking mechanism at the tank bottom collects the solids as they settle. The rake blades
push solids to the sludge trough for removal. The speed of the raking mechanism has been
set and should not be changed without consulting the manufacturer (WesTech Engineering,
Inc).
Sludge from the clarifiers will flow by gravity to one of three sludge pits. Sludge from clarifiers
1, 2, 4, and 5 flows to sludge pit 1, and sludge from clarifiers 3 and 6 flows to sludge pit 2,
sludge pit 7, 8, 9 and 10 flows to sludge pit 3. From the pits, sludge is collected and flows by
gravity back to the Great Zab River. Sludge production from the sedimentation process will
depend on raw water quality and flow rates. Sludge production could range dramatically over
the possible range of flows and influent turbidity. It is expected that sludge concentrations will
vary from 0.5 percent to 1.0 percent depending on water quality and operating conditions.

6. GRAVITY FILTERS
Rapid sand filtration is the flow of water through a bed of granular media. The purpose of this
filtration is to remove any particulate matter left over after flocculation and settling. The filter
process operates based on two principles, mechanical straining and physical adsorption.
Sand filtration is of particular importance because it effectively removes pathogenic
microorganisms such as Giardia lamblia. This organism is a major concern in drinking water
treatment plants; it forms cysts that cannot be killed by traditional chlorination.
The filter structure is comprised of a northern and southern component. Previously
constructed filter building contains 12 filters; new filter building contains 8 filters. The
orientation of the filters is shown in below Figures.
28

The filters are hydraulically connected; the influent water level for each filter is the same. The
effluent flow rate from each filter varies based on the condition of the filter media. Filter
effluent flow rate will decrease as the filter media becomes clogged with debris. Filters are
periodically backwashed to remove debris from the media. Backwashing is performed one
filter at a time. It is initiated by either influent channel level, total plant production, or at the
operators discretion. Filter influent, effluent, and backwash locations are shown in below
drawings.

Filters Backwash
Filter operation is controlled by twelve filter control panels in previous filter building and 8
filter control panel in new Filter building. The control panels are interlocked through one main
filter control panel; only one filter can be backwashed at any given time. The filter control
panels allow for automatic or manual backwash through the filter Manual/Auto switch. During
normal operation, filters will be backwashed automatically. One Low and High Rate
Backwash Pump and Air Scour Blower Local-Off-Master switch must be in the Master mode
and the Filter Control Panel Manual/Auto switch must be in the Automatic mode.
6.1 Filter Media

The media in each filter is composed of a minimum of 500 mm of Filtralite NC 1,5 2,5 and
500 mm of Filtralite HC 0,8 1,6. Filter media is manufactured from expanded clay material.
Filter media, with its highly porous structure, enables improved filter efficiency by reduced
backwash frequency and improved water velocity. Filter media generate substantial savings
by both improved filter capacity, and reduced operation cost.
A further description of the media properties is provided in the table below.
30

31

In filtration mode Filtralite NC 1.5-2.5 mm & Filtralite HC 0,8-1,6 mm provides low head
loss and high storage capacity for sludge, resulting in long filter runs between each
backwash. The following diagram shows the correlation between head loss and backwash
velocities for different water temperatures.
32

6.2 Backwash Pump Station

Backwash of the filter media is provided by high rate and low rate backwash pumps.
Two high rate backwash pumps are provided (1 duty, 1 spare). Two low rate backwash
pumps are provided (1 duty, 1 spare). Below figure depicts a typical backwash pump. During
normal filter operation, water travels down through the filter media. The water level in the
filter is lowered for backwash. Filter effluent is then pumped up through the filter media. This
reverse-flow of water fluidizes the media; debris is dislodged and travels out the filter
structure via backwash troughs.
Low rate backwash is first performed at a rate of 770 m3/hr.
High rate backwash at a rate of 2,300 m3/hr follows the low
rate backwash. Backwash continues until backwash effluent is
free of debris.
Backwash Pumps
During operation sludge will attach to the filter and the head loss through the filter will
increase. The filter has to be backwashed to clean the filter media, when the head loss
reaches the maximum level allowed in the filter, or the filtrate reaches a breakthrough of
particles.
Single media filters are most effectively backwashed with a combination of air and water. The
absolutely most effective backwash will be to backwash with air and water in combination
followed by water alone with a velocity that gives about 15-30% expansion of the material
(see curve below). This solution requires large pumping capacity and is therefore not
commonly used for single media filters.
33

Backwashing of dual media filters has to be carried out in a way that secures that the layers
will be separated after the backwash. This is usually obtained by using only water above
fluidization velocity for the final step of the backwash procedure. The most recommendable
way of backwashing a dual media filter with Filtralite as top layer is collapsed pulse
backwashing, carried out as follows:
1. Lower the water level to approx. 10 cm above the top of the filter media.
2. Flush with approx. 8 m/h water in combination with 15-30 m/h air till the water level is
approx. 50 cm below overflow.
3. Pause for 120 seconds.
4. Flush with water with velocity which gives the material an expansion of 15-30% in 600
seconds, or till the backwash water is clean.
If this procedure does not provide sufficient cleaning, step 2 and 3 can be repeated before
the final step 4.
If the filter should be put out of operation it is important to wash the filter intensively before it
is stopped. The filter can then stay water filled for around a couple of weeks. If the filter is to
be taken out of operation for a longer period the water should be drained off.
6.3 Blowers
Air scour is provided during the low rate backwash event to help free debris from the filter
media. Air is delivered using two positive displacement rotary lobe blowers. The blowers are
mounted on a skid next to the filter structure. Each is capable of delivering 2,700 m3/hr at
discharge pressure of 0.48 bar.
7. FINISHED WATER
Treated water from the Rapid Sand Filters Effluent Tank flows by gravity to the High Service
Pump Station. This component of the WTP consists of two adjacent parallel flow trains
consisting of reservoir basins with subsequent clearwells containing high service pumps.
From the clearwells, the water is pumped through buried piping to an Intermediate Booster
Pump Station at Maroda, 21 km from the WTP.
From the Intermediate Pump Station, the water is pumped an additional 11 km to a reservoir
at Dawajin.
34

7 High Service Pump Station (HSPS)

The potable water must be conveyed to the end users. For purposes of this Manual, the end
user is the reservoir at Dawajin. The energy input to the water required to accomplish this
conveyance is provided via pumps. Finished water from the WTP is pumped from the High
Service Pump Station to the Maroda Intermediate Pump Station through a force main. The
HSPS is comprised of Reservoir Basins, Clearwells, High Service Pumps with associated
controls and electrical equipment housed above the Clearwells and in the Electrical Building
east of the pump station, and a Hydropneumatic Surge Control System.
7.1 Reservoir and Clearwell

Chlorine solution is injected into the finished water in the Rapid Sand Filters Effluent Tank.
This water flows by gravity approximately 55 m to reservoirs before the High Service Pump
Station. The reservoirs are constructed to ensure a certain detention time to allow the
chlorine to fully disinfect the finished water and to provide storage of finished water prior to
the transmission system.
The reservoirs are covered and baffled structures measuring approximately 31.75 m by 15 m
and 7.75 m deep (floor elevation 291.80). Approximately 6 m is below grade and 2 m is
above grade (top at 299.55). The elevation of the water flowing through the reservoirs will
range from 293 to 298 m. Water enters Reservoir 2 through a 1.2 m manually operated
sluice gate (invert elev 291.80 m). An identical sluice gate is installed for Reservoir 1.
However, currently this inlet is plugged with a blind flange. This inlet will be utilized in future
WTP expansion. Two 1.2 m sluice gates are installed in the wall separating the two
reservoirs. These sluice gates allow water flow between each reservoir. Considering only
Reservoir 2 as an active unit, at the low water elevation of 293 m (1.2 m depth of water) and
the 10,000 m3/hr flow rate, the contact time of the chlorine in the water is approximately 5.71
minutes. The contact time is approximately 29.4 minutes at the high water elevation of 298 m
(6.2 m depth of water). With communication between the two reservoirs (two common sluice
gates open), the contact time would double to one hour if short circuiting can be prevented.
Two 600 mm overflow pipes (centerline elev 298.30 m) are installed in the wall between the
reservoirs and clearwells. Three 600 mm overflow pipes (also at centerline elev 298.30 m)
are installed in each reservoir. All six overflows discharge along the north wall of Basin No.2.
Each reservoir is also equipped with a 0.3 m sluice gate for drainage purposes (inv el
291.80).
The HSPS clearwells are designed to minimize pump on/off cycles. Clearwell No. 1
measures 10 m by 6 m and is approximately 11 m deep. Clearwell No. 2 measures 13.5 m
by 6 m and is also 11 m deep. The floor elevation of each clearwell is 288.5 m. Given a high
water elevation of 298 m, the effective volume of Clearwell No.1 is 570 m3. Similarly, the
effective volume of Clearwell No.2 is 770 m3. With one pump of each clearwell energized at
its rated capacity (2000 m3/hr), the detention time is approximately 17 minutes for Clearwell
No. 1 and 23 minutes for Clearwell No. 2.
35

7.2 High Service Pumps

The elevation difference between the High Service Pump Station and the reservoir at the
Intermediate Pump Station, 102 m (395.00 HWL 293.00 LWL = 102 m), places a significant
discharge head on the High Service Pump Station pumps. Therefore, these pumps are
termed High Service Pumps.
Three vertical turbine pumps are installed in each clearwell. Clearwell No. 1 three, in
Clearwell No. 2 three pumps. These High Service Pumps are 1,250 hp pumps rated for
2,000 m3 per hour at 115 m TDH. The pump seals are self-lubricated using the finished
water being pumped. The motors are located on the Second Floor of the Pump Station
above the Clearwells. The thrust bearings of the motors require cooling water at a minimum
of 11.4 L/min at 2.76 bar. From the discharge of each pump, the water is pumped to a
manifold through a piping system that consists of an air/vacuum valve, an electric check
valve, a butterfly isolation valve, and an air relief valve. A surge relief valve is installed in the
manifold and piped back to Reservoir Basin No. 2. The following table summarizes
information regarding the High Lift Pumps.

High Lift Pumps are operated from Control Panels near pumps,
High Lift Pumps will be monitored from PC graphical interface, located in main control room.
To operate the pump from the Local Control Panel,
Control Panel Local/Remote switch will be in the Local position. The pump will then be
operated using the Start and Stop pushbuttons of the Control Panel.
Each pump is equipped with a temperature sensor in the motor windings and bearings. A
high temperature signal will cause a pump failure. Wet well low level will also cause a pump
failure to protect pump from empty suction.
7.3 Hydro pneumatic Surge Control System

Hydro pneumatic surge control systems are installed at the HSPS and the IPS. The purpose
of these systems is to protect the conveyance main from cavitation and water column
separation following unexpected shutdown of the pumps. Though each system was designed
to control surges resulting under the most sever conditions, the sudden failure of all of a
pump stations pumps operating simultaneously as would occur with a loss of power,
cavitation and column separation can occur with the failure of a single pump. Therefore, the
surge control system must be operational even if only one pump is in use. Cavitation is the
formation of partial vacuums in fast-flowing water caused by sub atmospheric pressures.
7.4 IPS Flow Measurement

Flow from the Intermediate Pump Station also is measured by using a 900 mm venturi flow
meter housed in the Pump Metering Structure located near the southern corner of the site.
Flow is calculated via an analyzer mounted on the wall of the structure. The connection
between the insert flange of the IPS Flow Meter and its analyzer is through 15 mm stainless
steel tubing. Isolation valves are installed in this tubing. The IPS instantaneous and total
flows are displayed on the local transmitter and on the Intermediate Pump Station Control
Panel
8. TRANSMISSION SYSTEM
Finished water from the WTP HSPS is pumped to a reservoir at Dawajin prior to distribution
to the City of Erbil and surrounding communities. Due to the large elevation difference
between the WTP location and Dawajin, a large discharge head would be necessary for the
WTP pumps. To lower this pump requirement, an Intermediate Pump Station was
constructed at Maroda. The Transmission System conveying water from the WTP to the end
users therefore consists of two segments of a water force main (WTP to IPS and IPS to
Dawajin), the Intermediate Pump Station, and the Dawajin Reservoir.
