 The water collected from raw water Reservoir is pumped to Cascade Aerator
for primary removal of iron.& same water flows through Stilling Chamber where
the turbulence of water is reduced. For disinfection and to make odourless as
well as colourless, chlorination is done in the stilling chamber. Diffuser is
provided at the bottom of stilling chamber. The water from stilling chamber flows
to Parshall Flume, which is used for measuring flow rate. The water then flows to
Distribution chamber through a RCC channel. This water is taken to the HRSCC
where the turbid water is efficiently contacted with Alum and previously formed
sludge, which acts as seed for flocculation. The net result after clarification is the
production of clear raw water low in turbidity.

Lime is dosed in the High Rate Solid Contact Clarifier (HRSCC-A/B) by

respective gravity feed boxes, Alum is dosed in the High Rate Solid Contact
Clarifier (HRSCC-A/B) by respective dosing pump & polyelectrolyte is dosed in
High Rate Solid Contact Clarifier (HRSCC-A/B) by respective dosing pump.

Adjust Flow rate of lime solution to HRSCC by opening related manual valves.

Adjust Flow rate of alum solution to HRSCC by opening related manual valves.
Open suction valves of alum solution dosing pumps ,adjust discharge valves of
pumps to get desire flow rate Start dosing pumps .

Adjust Flow rate of polyelectrolyte solution to HRSCC by opening related manual

valves. Open suction valves of polyelectrolyte solution dosing pumps, adjust
discharge valves of pumps to get desire flow rate. Start dosing pumps. Before
deciding flow rate of lime, alum & polyelectrolyte solution conduct Jar Test.
According to Jar Test results decide chemical solution flow rate.
