I. INTRODUCTION:
The main objective of treating water
intended for public water supplies is to produce
a supply of water that is chemically and
bacteriologically safe for human Consumption.
The treatment process includes pre-treatment,
aeration,
coagulation,
flocculation,
sedimentation,
filtration,
fluoridation,
conditioning and disinfection. In our project we
undergo aeration process using cascade aerators.
Aeration brings water and air in close contact in
order to remove dissolved gases (such as carbon
dioxide).
It oxidizes dissolved metals such as iron,
hydrogen sulfide, and volatile organic chemicals
(VOCs).

Objective of project
The main objective is to produce a
supply water that is chemically and
bacteriological safe for human consumption.
In this project, the construction of
cascade aerator for effective treatment of water
has been done.
Scope of project
The scope of the study covers the design
of cascade aerator for water treatment plant,
Mettur using a new logic of increasing the
number of steps for effective splitting of Water
molecules and by reducing the usage of Alum in
Water treatment.

Working stress method
This method of design was evolved
around in 1990 and was theoretical method
accepted by National Codes of practice for
design concrete sections. It assumes that both
concrete and steel acts together and are perfectly
elastic at all stages so that the modular ratio
