The Newark Water Treatment Plant is a 15-mgd facility that provides drinking
water to the City of Newark, Ohio. The raw water source is the Licking River. The
existing treatment train includes preoxidation, lime softening,
coagulation/flocculation, sedimentation, recarbonation, filtration, fluoridation, and
chlorination. To provide another barrier of protection, ultraviolet (UV) disinfection is being
incorporated. Initial investigation included an assessment of three alternative
post-filtration locations for the UV reactors. Based on economic and non-economic
evaluation criteria, dedicating a UV reactor to each filter was selected
as the alternative of choice for implementation. This paper outlines how the
unique design challenges associated with this strategy were resolved.
