Water Audit – Scope, Components and
Methodology
6
• Water Audit study is a qualitative and quantitative analysis of water consumption which helps efficient water utilization & conservation.
• Water Audit determines the amount of water lost from a distribution system and the cost of this loss to the utility.
• Comprehensive water audit envisages a detailed profile of the distribution system and water users, thereby facilitating easier and effective management of water resources and improved reliability.

FICCI’S ADDITIONAL WATER AUDIT SCOPE
• Value added costing of water cost at various use locations.
•Assessing the logistics of existing water management practices & suggesting appropriate changes for reducing overall costs & improved water management.
• Incorporating latest water conserving equipments/ technologies in recommendations.
• Provide details on Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) potential for the given site and suggest possible RWH schemes.

GAS BASED POWER PLANT

Current Water Scenario:
431 MW Gas Based Power Plant
Main Raw Water Source – Surface Water
Total Fresh Water Use = 13,800 m3/day
Cost of Raw Water=Rs 3.57/cubic meter
Cooling Tower Make Up = 11400 m3/month
MEASUREMENTS CONDUCTEDMeasurement Locations:The measurements at Water Source side were carried out at: Canal Water pumps The measurements at Distribution side were carried out at Raw Water Pump House - Clarifier Pumps Raw Water Pump House – PT Pumps Cooling Water Make Up Cooling Towers Pumps Cooling Towers – Uprisers, Common Header Output DM Plant – Filter Water Transfer Pumps DM Plant – Degassifier Pumps DM Plant – Regeneration Pumps Fire Water Pumps Tube Well Pumps Condenser Line Input Condenser Line Output

Water Use Pattern
Observations
1. Clarifiers:Observation: 2 nos. of clarifiers; only one is operating at a time. Design Capacity of each Clarifier = 720 m3/hr. Operational capacity = 575-600 m3/hr. Turbidity reduced from 80 NTU to 40 NTU After subsequent sand filtration, turbidity reduced to 15 NTU. Filtered water stored, pumped to the cooling towers
Proposed Scheme:
Benefit of the proposed scheme: Improved efficiency of Sand bed Filters due to reduced turbidity of clarified water
Increased COC in the cooling Towers due to reduced turbidity in make-up water
Decreased effluent generation due to lesser blow downs in cooling towers reduced dependency on groundwater for making demineralized water
2. Existing Cooling Towers: The cooling Towers accounts for about 83% of total water use in the unit.
The unit has 3 nos. of pumps for pumping hot process water to process cooling area.
The flow in the main header is about 24,200 m3/hr.
The existing CT has total 18 no. of CT cells; 9 even numbered cell and other 9 odd numbered cell

RecommendationEnsuring Uniform Water Flow Distribution in all 18 cells of cooling towers by adjusting flow Control valves: The cells receiving higher flow rate are expected to have increased drift losses, reduced cooling and overall low efficiency whereas the cells receiving lower flow rates would remain under utilized.
This can be achieved by adjustment in setting of valves in each cells so that the flow is equally distributed and regulated.

4. Rainwater Harvesting The unit has implemented RWH to certain extent, it is observed that the present RWH system is not very efficient. The unit has four recharge pits, two are located within the premises of the unit and another two are located in the township. The 2 nos. recharge pits in the unit are designed to recharge ground water in rooftop runoff. It is also observed that the bore well no. 1(near DM plant storage tank) has very low yield, about < 40 % of its rated capacity
Implementation of Rain Water Harvesting Scheme to Recharge Ground Water:
The rainwater harvesting potential of the plant is about 77,408 m3 per year. The unit can store the rainwater in reservoirs or artificially recharge the groundwater
