Abstract
Bamag Block Module is a new design for the compact units for potable
water treatment following the conventional theory for water treatment,
introduced by BAMAG GmbH. As being applied through NOPWASD in
many of the Egyptians suburban communities (in order to solve the
problem of lack of potable water supply to such faraway villages),this
research aims to study and evaluate whether it fits with the Egyptian land
conditions, water characteristics and required potable water specifications
or not. The evaluation was studied in Menouf WTP in Menoufia
governorate, where a Bamag Block Module is used for surface water
treatment. The source of the water is Naaniaa irrigation canal.
Experimental works were carried out to for I year to find out the
reliability and suitability of the Block Module practically to its cases of
application in the Egyptian borders and compare it practically to other
applied compact unit theories (e.g. Direct Filtration). The Laboratory of
Shebeen EI.Koum WTP was used for these analyses. Analytical works
were carried out to evaluate the Block Module financially to the actual
economic conditions in Egypt, as well as analyzing the measured
parameters and figure to come out with the final evaluation, conclusion
and recommendations.
The Block Module proves to guarantee a remarkable lifetime (50 - 80
years) before any rehabilitation works, achieve a high removal ratio;
Algae Count 100%, Turbidity removal is approximately 97.5 %, and TSS
removal is approximately 90 % and include a reasonable safety factor
which absorbs any misuse of the equipments, any disregard to the
operations and Instructions Manual or being operated by semi-skilled
operators. Moreover, it requires a very low construction duration and
landscape area.
Financially; Cost of the produced 1 m3 of this Block Module is
approximately 0.47 EGP / m3.including initial and running costs. it proves
to be 95 % locally built and supplied, which means saving foreign
currency requested for importing.
