Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a water quality management system for managing water quality in a water purification plant. [0002] A water purification plant is a facility for purifying raw water taken from a river or the like and supplying the purified water to households or the like as tap water. The procedure for purifying water by a water treatment plant will be described. FIG. 2 is a schematic configuration diagram of a water purification plant. FIG.
The intake pump 40 takes in raw water from a river or the like.
The taken-in raw water is guided to the floc formation pond 41. The flocculant is charged in front of the floc forming pond 41, and the charged flocculant forms particles together with dust and the like in the raw water. These particles are called flocs. In the floc formation pond 41, a water wheel called a flocculator is running. The water that has passed through the floc formation pond 41 is guided to the sedimentation pond. In the sedimentation basin 42, the flocs settle. The supernatant of the settling basin 42 is supplied to the filtration basin 43. As a result, dust and the like mixed in the raw water are removed. In the filtration pond 43, the supernatant sorted in the sedimentation pond 42 is filtered by the filter 44. The water after filtration is supplied to ordinary households after sterilization. [0004] In the water purification plant, raw water is purified into tap water through several processes. In a water treatment plant, the quality of the supplied water must be constantly managed and the distribution of contaminated water must be stopped before it occurs. [0005] In the raw water taken by the water purification plant, there may be protozoa such as Cryptosporidium (hereinafter referred to as Crypto) and Giardia. If these protozoa are mixed into tap water, it will cause severe illness to tap water users. The provisional guidelines of the Ministry of Health and Welfare of October 1996 stipulate that the turbidity at the outlet of the filtration pond should be kept at 0.1 degrees or less. [0006] In one of the filtration ponds, a crack called breakthrough is generated in the filtration layer, and the filtration function of the filtration basin as a whole may be reduced. At this time, it has not been possible to determine which part of the filter pond has deteriorated its function. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0007] The present invention has been made to solve such a problem. The present invention divides a filtration pond into a plurality of divided filtration ponds, and individually separates each divided filtration basin. It is an object of the present invention to realize a water quality management system capable of determining which part of a filter pond has deteriorated in function when the function of the filter pond has deteriorated by obtaining the particle removal rate. According to the present invention, a filtration pond is divided into a plurality of divided filtration ponds, and water flowing into the filtration basin is distributed to each divided filtration basin. The passed water merges and flows out of the filtration pond, and the amount of water flowing into the filtration pond per unit time is maintained at a constant level.The entrance of the filtration pond, the exit of the filtration pond and the exit of each divided filtration pond. The number of particles contained per unit volume of water at each location is detected for each particle size, and a particle counter that includes the size of the protozoa in the range of the detected particle size, The particle removal rate for each of the divided filtration ponds is calculated from the detection value of the particle counter at)-(the detection value of the particle counter at the exit of the divided filtration basin) / (the detection value of the particle counter at the entrance of the filtration basin). The removal rate calculation means to be obtained and the removal rate calculation Particle removal rate obtained by means of water quality management system characterized by comprising a specifying means for filtering is specified as split filtered pond drops split filtered pond becomes smaller than a predetermined reference value. The present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing one embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 1, the filtration pond 50 is divided into a plurality of divided filtration ponds. In the example of the drawing, six divided filtration ponds 501 to 506 are used.
Are divided into The water that has flowed into the filtration basin is distributed to each of the divided filtration basins 501 to 506, and
The water passing through 〜506 merges and flows out of the filtration pond. The particle counters 51, 52, 531 to 536 are provided at the entrance of the filtration basin, the exit of the filtration basin, and the exit of each divided filtration basin, respectively. These particle counters detect the number of particles contained per unit volume of water at the provided position for each particle size, and the range of the detected particle size includes the size of the protozoan. Particle counters 51, 52, 531 to 536
Has a configuration in which a laser light source and a light receiving element are arranged to face each other with a measurement tube interposed therebetween, and water to be measured flows through the measurement tube. If particles are mixed in the water to be measured, the laser light is blocked by the particles and is not detected by the light receiving element. The particle size is detected by detecting the size of the blocked light, and the number of particles is counted by counting the number of times the light is blocked. The particle counter detects the number of particles contained per unit volume of water by keeping the flow rate (volume flow rate) of water at the measurement point of the particle counter constant and counting the number of particles over a predetermined period of time. In this way, particles are detected by the laser light blocking method. The removal rate calculating means 54 calculates {(detected value of the particle counter 51) − (particle counter 53
The particle removal rates of the divided filtration ponds 501 to 506 are individually obtained from the detection values of 1 to 536)} / (the detection value of the particle counter 51). The specifying means 55 specifies a divided filtration pond in which the particle removal rate obtained by the removal rate calculation means 54 is smaller than a predetermined reference value as a divided filtration pond having a reduced filter function. As a result, a crack called breakthrough occurs in one of the divided filtration ponds in the filtration layer, and when the filtration function is reduced as a whole, it is possible to determine which part of the filtration basin has deteriorated. be able to. According to the present invention, since the filtration basin is divided into a plurality of divided filtration ponds and the particle removal rate is individually obtained for each divided filtration basin, a filtering function is provided in a part of the filtration basin. When the value has decreased, the portion where the function has decreased can be specified.
