Scenario: A water treatment facility is experiencing an increase in turbidity (cloudiness) in the final treated water. This is a concern because high turbidity can indicate the presence of harmful contaminants.
Task:
**Potential causes for increased turbidity:** * **Failure in filtration system:** A malfunctioning filter or a clogged filter bed could allow suspended particles to pass through. * **Increased sediment or organic matter in the raw water source:** Heavy rainfall or other events could increase the amount of suspended particles entering the treatment plant. * **Chemical dosing issues:** Incorrect chemical dosages could lead to ineffective coagulation and flocculation, resulting in more suspended solids. **QC measures to investigate:** * **Increase sampling frequency:** Collect more frequent samples of the raw water and at different points throughout the treatment process to pinpoint the source of the turbidity. * **Analyze turbidity levels in the raw water:** Compare turbidity levels in the raw water source to determine if the increase is due to changes in the source water. * **Inspect and test filtration system:** Examine the filters for damage, clogging, or other issues. * **Review chemical dosing records:** Verify that the correct chemical dosages are being applied and that the chemicals are functioning effectively. * **Analyze water samples for specific contaminants:** Test the water for specific contaminants that could indicate the presence of suspended particles (e.g., heavy metals, organic matter). **How QC measures would help:** * Increased sampling will help pinpoint the location of the problem. * Analyzing the raw water will determine if the turbidity is a source issue. * Inspecting and testing the filtration system will reveal potential equipment failures or malfunctions. * Reviewing chemical dosing records will confirm that the chemicals are being applied correctly. * Analyzing for specific contaminants will provide more detailed information about the nature of the suspended particles.
