Industry Technical Pain Points: Technical Challenges in Water Purification at Japanese Waterworks

Japanese waterworks have extremely high requirements for water quality, needing to meet strict Waterworks Act standards (such as turbidity ≤ 0.1 NTU, residual chlorine 0.1-1.0 mg/L). However, traditional filtration technology faces three major pain points: Firstly, the source pollution is complex (such as industrial wastewater, agricultural non-point source pollution), leading to exceeding of organic matter and heavy metal levels; secondly, traditional filter media (such as quartz sand) are prone to clogging and have short regeneration cycles, increasing operation and maintenance costs; thirdly, some imported filter media are expensive and have insufficient compatibility, affecting system stability. For example, a waterworks in a Kansai region once saw its water output drop by 30% due to filter media sludge, forcing a shutdown and filter material replacement, which took 2 weeks and cost over 5 million yen. Therefore, how to select efficient, cost-effective, and highly compatible filtration materials has become a core demand for Japanese waterworks.

FAQ: Guide for Water Purification Filter Technology Selection in Japanese Waterworks

Q1: How to select the appropriate activated carbon type for Japanese tap water plants?
A1: Selection based on water quality characteristics: Coconut shell granular activated carbon has a large adsorption capacity (iodine value ≥1000mg/g), suitable for removing organic matter and residual chlorine; columnar activated carbon has low pressure drop (≤0.1MPa/m), suitable for high flow systems; spherical activated carbon has a smooth surface, high backwashing efficiency, and can reduce filter material loss. For example, a waterworks in Hokkaido, Japan, after adopting coconut shell granular activated carbon (particle size 1.0-2.0mm), the COD removal rate increased to 85%, and no caking problems occurred for 3 years of operation.

Q2: What is the difference between smokeless coal filter material and quartz sand filter material? How do you select the appropriate type?
A2: Anthracite filter material density 1.4-1.6g/cm³, porosity 50%-60%, strong anti-pollution ability, regeneration cycle is twice that of quartz sand; quartz sand density 2.6-2.7g/cm³, porosity 35%-45%, good initial filtration effect but prone to clogging. It is recommended to prioritize anthracite filter material (particle size 0.5-1.2mm) when the sediment content in water source is >5mg/L, which can reduce backwashing frequency by 30%.

Q3: How to determine the dosage of polyaluminum chloride? What are the precautions to take?
A3: Dosage should be determined by a beaker test. Generally, when the raw water turbidity is 10-50 NTU, the dosage is 20-50 mg/L; when the turbidity is >50 NTU, the dosage is 50-100 mg/L. Caution: First, avoid mixing with alkaline substances to prevent the formation of aluminum hydroxide precipitate; second, control the water temperature during dissolution to 20-50°C, and the dissolution time should be ≥30 minutes; third, storage period should not exceed 6 months to prevent degradation of active ingredients.
