Water supply and Sewerage services in urban areas have in the past commonly been provided by monopolized Municipal Councils under the previous Local Government Ministry. As part of a general move by the sector to shift to market-led systems by restructuring the sector, a new paradigm emerged to transform water utilities into more modern service delivery companies that emphasize on operational and financial sustainability. This report presents findings on attributes of a well-run Water Treatment Plant as of KIWASCO and attempts to identify important factors that influence its performance. The scope is also largely oriented to water utilities that serve urban communities, but with varying characteristics and service objectives.

ABSTRACT The technical report of this project deals with the design of a water treatment plant model which consists of five tanks. Water treatment plant model is made up of glass with pipe joining them together to allow movement of water from one tank to another. 6mm plain glass is used for base and 5mm plain glass is used for other component....

ABSTRACT Phytoremediation, based on the theory of botanic tolerance and accumulation of certain pollutant, is a new developing ecological technique primarily used to clean polluted environment. Blastofiltration is applied to phytoremediation of heavy metal polluted water at present. The study used castor, okra, melon and moringa seeds as... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT This seminar “Processes of Production and treatment of portable water” was meant to study the purification of water and the technique employed in achieving a clean portable water for domestic and industrial use suitable for human consumption. Having sourced materials for this research in internet and library, I proceeded to Enugu... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT Biological treatment of wastewater from Wupa Wastewater Treatment Plant, Abuja was investigated. Wastewater samples were collected from the inlet and effluent point (before and after the ultra violet radiation unit) of the treatment plant. The physicochemical parameters; temperature, pH, conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), total... Continue Reading
ABSTRACT Most people living in rural communities, have no access to good domestic water for consumption. The inhabitants depends on rain water, well water and sometimes surface water for consumption. Improper treatment of water gotten from these sources, can lead to the spread of water borne diseases, because, sometimes the water gotten from these... Continue Reading
This study investigated the concentration of heavy metals in oil field produced water from Niger Delta, before and after treatment with locally sourced agricultural wastes. Two produced water samples were investigated for different metal ions such as; Lead, Nickel, Cadmium, Copper, Iron, Magnesium, Chromium, Zinc, Manganese, Calcium, Arsenic,... Continue Reading
