The Necessities of Dual Water Supply
In Northwest China, according to water analysis report from the ministry of water resources, more than 80% well water are in class IV and V, based on Chinese surface water quality standards. Meanwhile, 90% of the water treatment plants are still using traditional water treatment methods. They can remove only a part of physical and microbial contaminations. The chemical pollutants, such as pesticide, synthetic detergent, heavy metal and other harmful substances are remaining in the treated potable water. It is seriously harmful to people’ health.
Drinking Water Purification Process
The initial water source of the drinking water is the deep groundwater in southern Guangrao County. It is transferred to Dongying water treatment plant through a 60 km-long feed pipe and the raw water will be purified in the plant.
Firstly, in activated carbon filter, the raw water will be treated by quartz sand and activated carbon, in order to reduce the turbidity and remove smell and taste remaining in raw water. Then the ultrafiltration and nanofiltration system will treat the water profoundly. An ozone system is set up for output pit, it could enhance the disinfection and oxygenation of product water. The O3/ClO2 disinfection complex can guarantee the continuous disinfection ability in water distribution system. With the variable frequency pressurizing system and pipe network circumfluence system, the water quality will be more stable and reliable.

Dual Water Supply System
Dual water supply systems separate the safe to drink water supply and the everyday water supply, while retaining the original water pipe network. About 5% of tap water will go through in depth purification treatment again to remove organic compounds, bacteria, viruses, heavy metals and excessive hardness and other harmful substances in water, while retaining the beneficial minerals and trace elements, so as to achieve the China’s "Drinking Water Quality Standards" and is safe for consumption.
The additionally purified high-quality drinking water is sent directly to the consumers by an independent circulating high-quality pipe network, , so as to ensure the health and safety of drinking water and to meet the demand of water consumption for the various needs of the public.

BIOBON Process
The BIOBON is a multi-stage activated sludge process, which integrates biological nitrogen, phosphate and carbonate removal, final clarification and a subsequent advanced water treatment in the same basin. The biological moving aerator chains are the essential part of BIOBON process, which guarantees the sufficient and economical oxygen supply, so that an odorless activated sludge process achieves.
BIOBON Advantages
-
It replaces concrete tank with non-concrete tank with HDPE membrane (high density polyethylene impermeable membrane), which greatly decreases construction costs;
-
The fine air bubbles produced by undulating aerator chains remain in the water almost three times longer than with fixed aerators, oxygen transfer efficiency is thereby improved and up to 20% energy is saved.
-
It has high sludge content as well as longer aeration and sludge retention times, which decreases the cost of subsequent sludge dewatering.
-
The simple structure and easy installation make BIOBON an ideal sewage treatment method for certain kinds of municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) projects.
BIOBON Influence
BIOBON provides an extra excellent solution for the treatment of ammonia nitrogen, BOD, COD, TP (total phosphorus) and other pollutants in the municipal sewage. This treated wastewater can be directly reused as industrial cooling water. In China, SafBon is leading in the application of the BIOBON aeration treatment technology into the sewage and reclaimed water treatment systems.
Precoat Filtration Technology
Precoat filtration is a new technology developed by SafBon. There are mainly two types – pressure type and submerged type. Fundamentally, this technology is able to line the surfaces of filter elements by hydraulic methods with either a powdery diatomite or activated carbon. The resulting filter membrane thickness is 1.5-3.0 mm, which rejects suspended particles and other microorganisms in water. With the utilization of this precoat treatment technology, the filtered water meets the requirement of China’s "Drinking Water Health Standards" (GB 5749-2006).

Low Impact Development (LID) Concept
Low impact development (LID) refers adopting an ecological approach when treating water in a sustainable way. A city should be able to store and recycle the stormwater, while reducing the pollution in the initial rainwater runoff. Furthermore, the city should be flexible in adapting to environmental changes, responding to natural disasters and other incidents.

Sewage Treatment Process
Sewage treatment can be classified as primary treatment, secondary treatment and tertiary treatment according to the extent of treatment. The suspended solids in wastewater are mainly removed in the primary treatment which usually uses physical methods. In the secondary treatment process, CODCr, BOD5, NH3-N (ammonia nitrogen), TN (total nitrogen), TP (total phosphorus) and SS (suspended solids) are substantially removed. The BOD5 removal rate is 80% ~ 90%.
The commonly used technologies in the sewage treatment process are
-
Adsorption Biodegradation (AB) process;
-
Anoxic/Oxic (A/O) process;
-
Anaerobic-Anoxic-Oxic (A2/O) process;
-
Oxidation ditch;
-
Sequencing batch reactor (SBR);
-
Modified sequencing batch reactor (MSBR);
-
Intermittent cycle extended aeration (ICEAS);
-
Cyclic activated sludge system (CASS);
-
Membrane bio-reactor (MBR);
-
Aerated grit tank;
-
Horizontal flow sedimentation tank;
-
