Recirculação de água de lavagem de filtros e perigos associados a protozoários

This paper presents the results of (i) the characterization of the filter backwash water (FBW) of Viçosa University water treatment plant; (ii) trials of FBW clarification in sedimentation columns, with and without polymer application; (iii) trials of FBW recycling in a pilot plant, under variable c...

Descrição
Resumo:This paper presents the results of (i) the characterization of the filter backwash water (FBW) of Viçosa University water treatment plant; (ii) trials of FBW clarification in sedimentation columns, with and without polymer application; (iii) trials of FBW recycling in a pilot plant, under variable conditions of recycling flow rates (5 to 20% of the raw water flow - RW) and of the influent water (RW + FBW) turbidity (12.1 to 257.3 uT). Around 101 Giardia spp. cysts and Cryptosporidium spp. oocysts per liter were found in the FBW. The results of sedimentation columns and recycling trials demonstrated that FBW clarification using polymers contributes to minimize hazards related to the introduction of Giardia cysts and Cryptosporidium oocysts.
