| Abstract | A rural water treatment plant was constructed for 1000 people in Jedee-Thong village, Samkoke district, Pathumthani province, Thailand with the financial aid as a part of the award conferred to Dr. N.C . Thanh by the
International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Canada and from Pathumthani province. The treatment system was composed of a horizontal profiler, three slow sand filters, three weir chambers and a clear well. The construction was completed within 7 months with a voluntary man-power of the village. The flow rate used was 0. 15 m3/m2-h. The raw water and effluents from different
sampling points were analyzed for turbidity, coliform organisms and dissolved oxygen to find out the efficiencies of the treatment plant and head loss development was recorded to monitor the filter run. The treated water was very good in terms of turbidity while percentage coliform removal was reported as high as 99.98%. At the moment of this report writing- up, the treatment plant is being operated and the head loss was about 21 cm. Possibly, it was likely to treat surface water by slow sand filter coupled with horizontal profiler.
The capital cost was about B100 per person and operating cost was about il.40 per person per month. |
