Sead CARL ARMPHIEST 434 Ferry St. I'hone 135 EPAIB CO 0 . SIHll TOGGLES DETAILS OF NEW FILTRATION SYSTEM The raw water for the filter plant will be obtained from the Willametto river, through a combined intake tower and low lift pumping station located on land own ed by the Oregon-Washington Water Service Company on Mlnto's Island, op-' -poslte Salem. The water will be taken directly from the main river channel on the farther side of the island and beyond ' . the point, where it Is now obtained. ' The pumping station will be a tali bridge-pier type structure, 28? icet long, 14 'a feet wide and 40 feet from low water to the operating floor level. The operat ing floor is set well above the highest re corded flood level. The station Is very substantial constructed of reinforced con crete, with a reinforced concrete and steel sheet-piling foundation. It Mil b visable from the West Salem road and when lighted at night will have a fine appear ance. There will be three pumps In this sta tion, two 1800 gallon per minute and one at 2400 gallons per minute capacity, driv en respectively by two 30HP motors. The pumps are of the vert leal, double -suction wet pit type, and are driven by enclosed column shaft connectng to the motors on the operating floor aoove. The operation of the station Is to be controlled from the filter plant in Salem, by means of ..remote control cable and mechanism. It is the Intention to begin construction of the pumping station by May 1, 1930, and to complete it not later than July 1st, 1930. , From the pumping station, the raw water is to be pumped through a 25U inch , internal diameter centrafugal cost, rein- . forced concrete pipe, 1450 feet long, to a connection with a 24 Inch welded steel pipe crossing under the east arm of the Willamette river, and thence through an existing 20 inch steel pipe and 16 inch cast Iron pipe to the Water Service Company's prop re ty at Trade and Commercial streets in Salem, Oregon. The 25 U inch con crete pipe was laid this last autumn at a cost of about $20,000, and the 24 inch steel pipe was laid a year ago. Water In this pipe will be under a normal pressure head at approximately 50 feet and as water cannot be delivered from this river pumping station to the filter plant, wlth - out the -pipe being under this coasidsrable pressure, there need never be any fear that river water may leak into this pipe. The filter plant proper Is to be located on the present property owned by the Oregon -Washington Water Service Com pany at Liberty and Trade streets. The raw water will enter the plant via a chan- nel In the coagulant house. As the water enters the coagulant house It will receive a continuously measured, extremely small amount of aluminum sulphate, delivered by a Gaunt dry feed machine. The water will then pass to the two coagulant mix ing tanks. These are concrete tanks 18 feet in inside diameter and :0 feet 3 in ches deep, connected In series. . The water in passing through these tanks is given a rotary motion by means of electrically driven paddles in each tank. The water enters at the top of the first tank, passes out at ths bottom into the second tank, and paws out at the top of the second tank into a channel leading to the sedimentation basins. The time of detention In the two tanks at normal op erating rates Is 20 minutes. This thorough mixing of the aluminum sulphate with the . water to be filtered conforms tj the very latest filter practice. The required amount of aluminum sulphate to be added to the water will depend upon the condition of the river water and will be constantly un der the control of th Salem chemical laboratory. After leaving the coagulant mixing tanks, where Uiorough llocculation of the aluminum hydrate is obtained, the "floe" with lis accompanying turbidity is set tled out In the sedimentation basin. This Is rectangular baffled tank 105 feet long by 94 feet net insldi width, and 13 feet deep net, 'and has a retention period of 3'i hours under normal operating con ditions. The basin is divided In half, for purposes of cleaning when required. The slow ' rate at which the water passes through these sedimentation basins al lows practically all of the sediment in the water to be settled down with the "floe" so that there will be little left for the fil ters to remove. From the sedimentation basin the set tled water is carried by a concrete chan nel to the filters. Space has been provided In the filter house for six filter units of one million gallons daily normal rated rated capacity, of which four are pro posed to be placed in operation at first, leaving two in reserve. The filters are of the rapid sand, open basin, gravity feed type, and measure 14 feet bv 25 f-et of superficial sand area. The filter boxes are 12 fret deep. The fil ter boxes are arranged In groups of three on each side of the pips nailery. The in fluent to. and the wash water waste from the filters, are controlled by hydraullcal ly operated sluice gates. The sand layer in the filters Is to be 21 Inches deep, of specially graded and se . lected sand of uniform size, and is sup ported on a 24 Inch layer of gravel graded from large at the bottom to fine at the -- top. The undrrdrains will consist of 33 Unas of a inch bran pipe drilled with 3-8 Inch holes spaced ft Inches apart along the laterais.- Th? water, after it has passed down through the 48 Inch of sand and' gravel filter beds, will be collected in this underdraln system of pipes. After passing? 'clown through the sand, the gravel and the underd rains, the fil tered water will be piped to a regulating device which will maintain a constant rate of filtration. The rate of flow regula tors will be 10 inch Venturi type effluent controllers. From the controllers the . filtered water will drop into the clear wa ter basin located directly under the filters. This basin is approximately 52 feet wide by 67 feet long by 13 feet deep inside . dimensions, and has a capacity of ap proximately 300,000 gallons. t , "During operation, when the loss of head through the filters approaches 12 feet, the filters will be washed by reversing the flow of water through the underdrains, and forcing filtered water up through the sand, and over launders 5 in each filter) discharging into a drain channel along one side of the filter. The filtered water for washing will be supplied by an hy draulic ejector type pump and after It passes upward through the gravel and sand will be wasted into the waste drain. This filter washing process thoroughly cleans the sand end gravel and the filter bed is then ready to be put into regular operation again. All filter valves and sluices will be hy draulically operated from four-way valves located on panels on the filter operating flooc. Each panel will have also a rate of filtration and a loss of head gauge. After the filtered water Is collected by the-underdraln system beneath each filter bed. it will flow to the present pumping station from which it will be pumped to the distribution system and the reservoir. The present suction pipes leading from Mintos Island to this pumping station will be disconnected and the sole source of water for the present main pumping station will come from the filter plant. A new pump will probably be added to the present pumping equipment In order to provide ample reserve capacity. The greater portion of the plant Is to be housed and roofed over. Over one-half of the sedimentation basin there will be erected a warehouse for storage of ma trelals and equipment. Water works ma terials for all the systems in Oregon and Washington will be kept in this ware house and will be distributed to the other plants in small quantities as may be re quired. . The remaining half of the basin Is de- . signed for future aerator basin, if pre aeration should ultimately prove to be necessary. The second floor of the coagu lant house over the coagulant mixing tanks Is designed for the storage of the alumninum sulphate. The railroad siding on Trade street alongside the warehouse and coagulant storage warehouse will af ford convenient access for rail shipments. In connection with the filter plant a new 24 Inch cast iron delivery main will be laid from the present main pumping t station alond Trade street to Libertv street. On Liberty street a 24 In. cast Iron main will be laid from Ferry street to a connection with the present 14 inch cast Iron main near the north end of the new concrete brldee on Liberty street. From . this point south there will be laid an 18 . inch cast iron main on Liberty street, on Leffelle street to John street, and on John street to Lincoln and John streets where a connection will be made to the present reservoir. The large gate valves for this work are here and distributed to" the pro- per points. The first shipment of 450 tons ' of cast iron pipe and fitt intra will arrive at Portland by boat this week, and the balance of 250 tons will arrive 2 or 3 weeks later. The contract for iastallatlon of th?se mains has been let to Harmon & Tittle of Salem. The present reservoir at Lincoln and John street1; will be rclined with cement by the gunlte method. This process has never been used in Salem and it will be Interesting work. The millraco through the Company property east of the present pumping sta tion Is now being lined with piling and vertical sheeting. Harmon and Tittle are now doing this work in order to have It complete tefore filter plant excavation becins. This work will give additional space for earth excavated from the filter plant and improve the appearance of the grounds. The filter plant structures are to be strongly built of concrete, rather massive but well proportioned, It Is proposed to use a style of architecture slmpl, digni fied and suited to the district In which the plant is located. The roofs will be covered with large red tile. The grounds are to be improved and planted with la was and gardens, and the site made at tractive to the eye. The first development at the filter plant b proposed to be 4 million gallons dally normal and 6 million gallons daily maximum capacity, with four filters com pleted. With the two presently Incomplete filters placed In operation, thr? capacity will be 8 million gallons dally normal and 9 or 10 million gallons daily maximum capacity. Space is available on the pres ent site for an ultimate maximum of 15 million gallons daily capacity which will probably not be reached until the year lfM5 or later. Standard practice has bfn nrherer to throughout the deaian of the entire filter plant Professor Wilfred H. Lrngeller of ths College of Civil Engineering, Univer sity of California, has act?d as Consult ing Engineer on the drMgn. The general tvps of deal an was drtrrmliud bv Mr. T. H.
