PILOT PLANT OBJECTIVES

The objective of a pilot limestone contactor plant study is to determine whether it is


suitable as a stabilization treatment by assessing the cost, performance and feasibility of
the process. The suitability of the limestone contactor is mainly dependent on raw water
characteristics such as pH, alkalinity and temperature. These along with using correct
choices of design and operating variables will determine the success of a limestone
contactor operation. These variables are determined from pilot study.

Engineering Design Variables:


1. Media size
2. Chemical constituents / purity of media
3. Filtration rate
4. Maximum flow rate
5. Contact time
6. Limestone bed depth
7. Recharge level
8. Location in the treatment train

Operating Variables:
1. Filter backwashing frequency
2. Limestone media recharge frequency
3. Period before total media replacement is needed
4. Seasonal treatment performance
