1 INTRODUCTION
This document provides information to the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) regarding the operating
philosophy and controls of the Chapman Creek Water Treatment Plant (WTP). The purpose of this document is to
enable programming and configuration of the Plant PLC and Plant HMI.
2 PROCESS DESCRIPTION
The Chapman Creek WTP supplies drinking water to the residents of the Sunshine Coast by delivering treated water
via the Selma Zone 2 Reservoir. The WTP process includes flash mixing and flocculation with coagulant and polymer
addition; dissolved air flotation; dual media filtration (anthracite coal and sand); primary ultraviolet disinfection
followed by gas chlorination and pH adjustment with soda ash addition. The existing chlorine disinfection system will
be converted to an on-site hypochlorite generation system (OSHGS) for sodium hypochlorite solution (SHS) to
improve operator, maintenance personnel and public safety and to improve long-term WTP system reliability.
3 OVERALL CONTROL REQUIREMENTS
3.1 Existing Plant PLC
The Chapman Creek WTP utilizes an existing Allen Bradley SLC5/05 and iFix HMI.
3.2 OSHGS PLC and HMI
In order to communicate with the existing Allen Bradley Ethernet protocols, the OSHGS will utilize a MicroLogix 1400
PLC or Compact Logix (preference) and a Red Lion HMI.
The OSHGS will be able to operate independently of the Plant PLC other than communication of a Run signal,
Chlorine Dose, Treated Water Chlorine Residual, Raw Water Flow, Treated Water Flow from the Plant PLC. The
OSHGS will also support a manual operation mode whereby the operational parameters can be manually set in the
event of an issue with the WTP PLC. The WTP plant PLC will read system status information, alarms and set points
from the OSHGS PLC and be able to write set point changes to the OSHGS.
If the OSHGS controller and HMI cannot accommodate the additional control and visualization of the ancillary
components (e.g., transfer pumps, storage tank level, blowers, motorized valves) and above-mentioned manual
mode, a second PLC and HMI will be required and provided by the installing contractor’s team.
3.3 Plant SCADA
The new OSHGS will communicate to the existing SCADA system via the ethernet network using Allen Bradley
Ethernet.

4 OPERATING PHILOSOPHY
4.1 OSHGS Control
The SHS for chlorination at the Chapman Creek WTP is to be generated on-site using a brine (salt water) electrolysis
process. The on-site SHS generation (OSHGS) system is a batch electro-chemical process. The system components are
both skid-mounted and off-skid installed. The primary generation components are power supply/rectifier, control
panel including OSHGS PLC, water heater, water softener, brine tank, brine pump, electrolytic cell, hydrogen dilution
blowers, and ambient hydrogen gas detector.
Plant service water will be heated and softened for use in the OSHGS. Brine will be produced in the Brine Tank by
combining dry salt and softened water. Salt will be provided in 25 kg bags which will be stored in the OSHGS Room
near the Brine Tank and OSHGS. Salt bags will be manually emptied into the brine tank as required.
For Chapman Creek WTP, the lower elevation position of the OSHGS equipment in relationship to the elevated SHS
storage tanks (TK-350 and TK-370) requires the use of an intermediate transfer tank (TK-250) and transfer pumps (P—
260 and P-270) along with associated hydrogen dilution blowers (BLO-280 and BLO-290) located in the OSHGS
Room. The primary reason for the transfer systems is to reduce backpressure on the electrolytic cells and to ensure
efficient hydrogen gas dilution and venting.
The generation of SHS up to and including the transfer tank and transfer pumps and blower operation will be the
responsibility of the OSHGS manufacturer. As such, a complete process and control description for the OSHGS is to
be provided by the selected OSHGS manufacturer. The series of tag numbers between 400 and 499 are reserved for
use by the OSHGS manufacturer. The OSHGS manufacturer will be responsible for all interlocks to shutdown the
OSHGS. A series of status, process values and alarms are passed between the OSHGS PLC and the Plant PLC.
The following is a general description of how the OSHGS will be called to operate based on SHS storage tank levels.
Operation of the OSHGS is ultimately based on the quantity of SHS in storage tanks TK-350 and TK-370 through
levels in these tanks as measured by LIT-351 and/or LIT-371. The OSHGS will run based on the following:
• OSHGS Start: Tank level (LIT-351 or LIT-371) at 1.7 m (48%)
• OSHGS Stop: Tank level (LIT-351 or LIT-371) at 3.4 m (95%)
These start/stop values are set by the OSHGS PLC and will be shared with the Plant PLC. If the OSHGS PLC detects a
tank level of 3.6 m (100%) in both storage tanks, it will disable the transfer feed.
OSHGS generation will also operate based on management of SHS in the intermediate transfer tank (TK-250). SHS
generation is essentially at constant flow rate. Therefore, level in the transfer tank (as measured by LIT-251) will be
controlled to a setpoint level by setting the speed of the operating transfer pump (P-260 or P-270). P-260 and P-270
will alternate operation. High and low level alarms associated with TK-250, will notify of a problem and facilitate an
OSHGS shutdown. Hydrogen dilution blowers BLO-280 and BLO-290 will also be controlled by the OSHGS PLC and
will alternate.

The tank status of TK-350, and TK-370 (on-line or off-line) will be indicated in the OSHGS PLC in order for the
OSHGS to identify which hydrogen dilution blower (BLO-360 and/or BLO-380) and dilution air differential pressure
switch is active. Further information regarding the SHS storage tanks is provided in Section 4.2.1 below.
4.2 SHS Storage and Metering Control
4.2.1 SHS Storage Systems
The OSHGS, including the chemical dosing system and associated piping, will be designed for sufficient capacity to
deliver 0.8% SHS at the required chlorine dose for the maximum WTP production of 26.4 ML/d.
Two storage tanks, with a combined capacity of 20,000 L (TK-350 and TK-370), will be used for storing 0.8% SHS
produced from the OSHGS. In the event of a significant failure of the OSHGS, 0.8% SHS can be produced using the
dilution panel located near the SHS tanks. The dilution panel combines 12% SHS with plant service water. Operation
of the dilution panel is a manual procedure. The 12% SHS will be stored in a tote or drum brought to site and located
near the dilution panel outside the WTP.
A motorized valve (MV-331 and MV 332) and a manual ball valve with a locking handle is provided at the inlet of each
SHS storage tank as a measure to prevent 0.8% SHS from flowing into a full or out-of-service storage tank. A pressure
sensor (PSH-330) is installed upstream of the SHS storage tanks to send an alarm signal when a pressure setpoint is
exceeded, this would be in the case of SHS being transferred to the storage tanks while both the inlet valves (MV-331
and MV 332) are closed, which will trigger the OSHGS shutdown. The pressure sensor and associated control actions
will be configured in the OSHGS PLC.
A motorized valve (MV-356 and MV-376) is provided at the outlet of each SHS storage tank. These valves can be
remotely closed to isolate a storage tank and in an emergency should the level in a tank drop rapidly. The control of
these outlet valves is to be configured in the OSHGS PLC.
SHS storage tank level instruments (LIT-351 and LIT-371) should be configured as follows in the OSHGS PLC:
• Instrument range: 0 m (0%) to 3.6 m (100%, overflow condition)
• Normal high level: 3.4 m (95%)
• Normal low level 1.7 m (48%)
• Low level alarm: 0.7 m (20%)
• Low low level alarm: 0.4 m (10%) (shutdown metering pumps)
• High level alarm: 3.5 m (97%) (shutdown transfer pump #1 or #2)
• Rapid drop in level: >10% in 10 seconds: close corresponding outlet valve and report alarm to Plant PLC
Alarms that trigger an OSHGS shutdown are to be configured by the OSHGS manufacturer in the OSHGS PLC.
SHS Spill Containment Sump: In the event of a SHS spill or leak, a float switch (LSH-340) will be tripped. This delivers
an alarm to the OSHGS PLC, which is then relayed to the Plant PLC.

4.2.2 Metering Pump Control
For normal operating conditions using a chlorine dose of 1.4 mg/L at an average WTP flowrate of 17.6 ML/d, the SHS
flowrate equates to approximately 130 L/h. At the peak daily demand of 26.4 ML/d using a chlorine dose of 1.4 mg/L,
the SHS flowrate equates to approximately 200 L/h. Based on the potential for two application points being used as
discussed below, there are two duty metering pumps each sized at a minimum of 200 L/hr.
However, under the plant emergency bypass situation where the required chlorine dose is 4.0 mg/L, the instantaneous
SHS flowrate requirement increases to 550 L/h. Therefore, three (3) 200 L/h metering pumps (two duty and one
standby unit) of same capacity are installed. The duty-standby order is selected by the operator at the OSHGS HMI or
Plant SCADA system.
As required by SCRD, a 550 L/h SHS flowrate could be delivered to any of the following three application points:
1. Downstream of media filters in the effluent chamber (regular operation).
2. Upstream of filters (infrequent operation).
3. Downstream of the reservoir prior to distribution (infrequent operation and/or emergency WTP bypass).
For typical operation, a single metering pump can deliver 200 L/h to the regular application point at the filter effluent
chamber. Two solenoid valves at the metering pump skid (SV-822 and SV-823) are used to alternate between the two
delivery lines carrying SHS to the regular application point based on configurable time-based rate (1-24 hours).The
configuration will support Alternate, Primary/Backup modes as well as taking a pump "Out of Service" as selected by
either the OSHGS HMI or Plant SCADA.
The delivery of SHS to the two other injection points (a single delivery line each for application points #2 and #3) is
initiated manually by the operator using manual valves. The third metering pump will be configurable via the OSHGS
HMI or the Plant SCADA system to send SHS to the pre-filter or post-reservoir delivery lines via motorized valves. The
pacing source for metering pump speed will change based on the delivery location. The operation of more than one
duty metering pump to deliver to multiple application points is determined by the operator and selected at the OSHGS
HMI or Plant SCADA.
Metering pump speed will be paced on plant water flow as follows:
• Filter Effluent Chamber: Raw water flow provided by Plant PLC.
• Upstream of Filters: FIT Raw water flow provided by Plant PLC.
• Downstream of Reservoir: Distribution flow provided by Plant PLC.
• Target chlorine dose for each of the application points will be selected by the operator at the OSHGS HMI or
Plant SCADA system based on knowledge of the chlorine residual. The typical dose will be 1.4 mg/L. Assignment
of duty and standby pumps will alternate based on elapsed runtime hours.
The treated water chlorine residual (existing plant instrument) dropping below the minimum setpoint will initiate a
switch from the duty metering pump to the standby metering pump. In the case where the chlorine residual is still
below the minimum setpoint, the OSHGS will switch the delivery line for the regular SHS injection to the effluent
chamber (application point #1) by closing the solenoid for the operating delivery line valves (either SV-822 or SV-823 )
and opening the solenoid valves for the other delivery line valves (either SV-823 or SV-822 ). For all other injection
points (application points #2 and #3), the delivery line will need to be switched manually by the operator.

The calculated base (flow paced) pump speed with only the duty metering pump operating will be:
When more than one pump is operating at a time, the calculated pump speed for each pump will be:
Metering pump faults and alarms conditions are communicated to the OSHGS and Plant PLCs and HMIs.
4.3 Online Water and Air Quality Instruments
There are several on-line water quality and air quality instruments installed within the WTP. Water quality parameters
measured are:
• Chlorine residual measured at the following locations:
• Filter effluent chamber.
• Distribution, directly downstream of Selma Zone 2 Reservoir.
• Air quality parameters measured are:
• Ambient chlorine gas in the OSHGS room, AIT-660.
• Ambient hydrogen gas in the OSHGS room, AIT-650. This device is hardwired to the OSHGS PLC. The sensor
will be read back to the OSHGS PLC. There are no building mechanical (ventilation) interlocks.
These devices are important for operator safety. In addition to delivering an alarm, the hydrogen gas detector will
cause the OSHGS to shut down if the high alarm value is reached (to be configured by the OSHGS manufacturer). In
addition, one of the two hydrogen dilution blowers (BLO-280/BLO-290) will operate until hydrogen levels drop to
below the alarm level. The chlorine gas detectors will alarm on high level.
SCRD will integrate the OSHGS alarms into the existing WTP alarm notification system.

6 PLANT PLC COMMUNICATIONS
The new OSHGS PLC will communicate to the Plant PLC utilizing Allen Bradley (AB) Ethernet messaging to
communicate the information that the SCRD requires to show on the existing Plant HMI and SCADA system. The new
OSHGS will coordinate the process of generating hypochlorite by completing its operation to fill the transfer tank.
The OSHGS PLC will coordinate the requirement to transfer new hypochlorite from the transfer tank to the plant main
storage tanks The OSHGS PLC will then be responsible for coordinating the injection of hypochlorite into the process
stream from the storage tanks while monitoring the condition of the entire hypochlorite process.
7 OSHGS HMI DISPLAY
The following equipment and sensor information is to be displayed on the OSHGS HMI (see Table 7-1). Six (6) Plant
HMI graphic sheets are to be developed using the P&IDs as a template configuration:
