Development of a pilot plant for improvement water purification technologies at Desnianska water treatment plant in Kyiv

Abstract

Providing the population with high-quality drinking water is one of the priority tasks of modern society. In Ukraine, which is experiencing challenges related to the need to modernize critical infrastructure, this task is of particular relevance. The Desnianska Water Supply Station (DVS), which supplies drinking water to a large part of Kyiv, needs a comprehensive renovation due to the deterioration of water quality at the water supply source and outdated treatment technologies. In this context, pilot studies are an important tool for optimizing and selecting effective technological solutions before their implementation on an industrial scale. The article discusses the development of a pilot plant to improve the technology of water purification at the Desnianska water supply station in Kyiv. The main goal of the study is to increase the efficiency of the water purification process through the introduction of the latest technologies and methods. The paper describes 4 technological schemes of water purification and the principle of operation of the pilot plant, as well as the justification for the use of such technological schemes. Requirements for research include: working out technological schemes during all seasons of the year; laboratory control of water quality at all stages of purification and disinfection; preparation of interim and final reports; presentation of research results. After the research, a significant improvement in the quality of treated water and a reduction in operating costs are expected. The proposed recommendations can be used to modernize existing water supply stations and introduce new technologies in the field of water supply.
