Abstract
The design of the Celina (Ohio) treatment plant allows for series or parallel treatment. The plant is presently operated in series. Design flexibility provides for almost any type of treatment commonly used for this type of plant. Chemical feeders provide alum, lime, soda ash, chlorine, sodium hexametaphosphate detergent, and activated carbon. Various treatment methods have been used in the past to abate taste and odor problems with degrees of success; however, the problem still persists. The plant's raw‐water intake is joined with the municipal power plant intake. A series of water samples, taken over a period of a full year, showed that 48 different types of algae were in the water. Tests using copper sulfate to kill the algae indicated that the quality of the raw water could be improved to a point where conventional treatment processes would produce a palatable water.
