Assessment of water quality in high-rise residential building

Assessment of water quality in high-rise residential building / Muhammad Ikhlas Saufi Mohd Faizal
Kajian ini mempunyai dua objektif utama iaitu memantau kualiti air bangunan kediaman bertingkat tinggi di Seberang Perai, Pulau Pinang dan membandingkan hasilnya dengan standard kualiti air minuman di Malaysia dan untuk menganggarkan ketersediaan klorin dan umur airnya di hujung pengguna menggunakan Perisian pemodelan EPANET 2.0. Kajian ini dijalankan untuk mengkaji kualiti air minum rangkaian pengagihan bangunan kediaman bertingkat tinggi di Universiti Sains Malaysia dengan mengumpul sampel dari 2 lokasi berbeza (Desasiswa Tekun dan Utama). Tujuannya adalah untuk menentukan hubungan antara umur air yang disimpan dalam tangki dengan klorin dalam rangkaian pengedaran. Klorin sisa diuji di situ dengan segera manakala pH, kekeruhan dan warna dibawa kembali ke makmal kejuruteraan awam untuk ujian. Keadaan air dan ketersediaan klorin dianggarkan dengan menggunakan pemodelan perisian rangkaian pengagihan air EPANET 2.0. Hasil kajian ini telah menunjukkan bahawa penilaian kualiti air minuman di bangunan kediaman bertingkat tinggi USM dan anggaran menggunakan perisian pemodelan simulasi pengagihan air EPANET 2.0, kajian ini membuktikan bahawa kualiti air yang dibekalkan oleh PBAPP telah memenuhi air minuman Malaysia piawaian kualiti pH air adalah dalam lingkungan 6.5-9.0, kekeruhan yang mengandungi kurang daripada 5 NTU, warna air kurang daripada 15 TCU dan mengandungi kandungan klorin bebas dalam lingkungan 0.2-0.5 mg / l. Nilai klorin yang diramal oleh EPANET 2.0 terletak di dalam julat keputusan disitu yang diuji. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ This research has two main objectives which are to monitor the water quality of selected high-rise residential building in Seberang Perai, Penang and compare the result with Malaysian drinking water quality standard and to estimate chlorine availability and its water ages at the user’s end using EPANET 2.0 modelling software. This study was carried out to examine the drinking water quality of high-rise residential buildings distribution network in Universiti Sains Malaysia by collecting samples from 2 different locations (Desasiswa Tekun and Utama). The aim is to determine the potential relationship between the water age stored in the tanks with the chlorine in the distribution network and test weather can the EPANET 2.0 be use to estimate or predict water quality in small building. The residual chlorine is tested in situ immediately while pH, turbidity and colour are brought back to school of Civil Engineering’s laboratory for the test. The water age and chlorine availability were estimated by using water distribution network software modelling EPANET 2.0. The result of this study have shown that assessment of drinking water quality at both USM high-rise residential building and estimation by using EPANET 2.0 water distribution simulation modelling software, this study elucidated that the quality of water supplied are fulfilled the Malaysia drinking water quality standard which is pH of water is within 6.5-9.0, turbidity contain are less than 5 NTU, colour of water is less than 15 TCU and free residual chlorine contain are within 0.2-0.5 mg/l. The value of chlorine contains predicted by the EPANET 2.0 was lies within the range of result in-situ tested.
