Design of Aeration System for the Lake Surrounding An Nur Mosque

The lake surrounding UTP’s An Nur Mosque contains murky (or silted) water even
though a pumping system is in place to filter the water. It jeopardizes the aesthetical
value of the scenic mosque. The purpose of this project is that the lake and its
associated water system will be extensively studied to determine the causes of the
murky water problem and why the present treatment system failed to solve the
problem. The scope for Phase 1 of the project started with the study of the lake’s
water intake and circulation system, and then followed by water quality testing.
Then, the causes of the problem were determined. The solution for this problem is a
system to aerate the water and maintain its quality. In the Phase 2 of the project, the
detailed engineering design of the suitable solution was executed. Then, cost for the
equipment, materials and installation of the aeration system were estimated. The
outcome of this project is a complete systems design that would aerate the water and
maintain its quality so that the aesthetical value of mosque will be further enhance.
