I. Mechanical Ventilation Systems o

The mechanical Ventilation systems are being considered to be designed for removal of heat and provide moderate dust free working environment.

o

The systems are designed based on the adequate no. of air changes per hour however areas with higher heat dissipation could be considered for designing with restricted temperature rise over ambient temperature.

o

Considering Varanasi Weather conditions we propose to install the evaporative cooling system to supply the fresh air to mechanical areas with greater heat dissipation like Pump Room and AC Plant Room.

We have considered total one and a half day of storage capacity for the entire project including fire fighting tanks Water storage and treatment: Domestic water: Water from bore-wells / tankers (raw water) shall be brought to the building at approximately 1 m below ground level in raw water tank. Water supplied by Municipal Corporation shall be stored in the domestic water tank. From Raw water tank, water shall be fed to suitable water treatment plant by means of feed pumps and stored in the fire water tank, overflow of which shall be given in domestic water tank. The treatment for raw water will consist of filtration through pressure sand filters, activated carbon filters. Water treatment philosophy shall be detailed out based on the chemical and physical analysis of water from bore wells / tankers. Since the quantity of water supplied by corporation may not be consistent, we propose to mix water treated water with the water supplied by Municipal Corporation.

Drinking water:

41

DESIGN CONCEPT REPORT M.E.P. SERVICES

DESIGN BRIEF ON MEP SERVICES FOR UPCOMING 5 STAR HOTEL AT VARANASI Domestic water shall be treated by UV/RO filters and shall be supplied for drinking and cooking. These UV/RO filters shall be installed at the points of consumption i.e. all the kitchens and near the central water cooler for the hotel. Recycled water: Water treated by STP is termed as recycled water. It shall be collected in the underground tank meant for the same and shall be supplied to all the WCs and urinals for flushing, and for irrigation. This recycled water shall be further treated for softening and shall be stored in the soft water tanks. This softened water shall be used for HVAC make up. Since recycled water supply is less than requirement of flushing, irrigation and HVAC make up, it shall be supplemented with domestic water. Hence an additional overflow of fire water tank shall be given in the recycled water tank. There shall be a proper system to receive 15 to 20 tankers daily with well planned entry and exits so as not to disturb the overall traffic movement within and outside the premises. We also suggest entering into a long term agreement with reliable tanker suppliers providing consistent quality of water. Since fresh water deficit is supplemented with bore wells, it is suggested to have a resistively test and hydro-geological survey to ensure good quality consistent water supply throughout the year. Standby bore wells shall also be planned for the same. The water received everyday shall be randomly checked for physical, chemical and microbial analysis to ensure that water quality is maintained. Water Distribution and Supply System: There will be a separate pumping and distribution system for domestic and flushing water. Hydro-pneumatic pressure boosting system comprising of 2 working and 1 standby pumps shall be installed in the pump room in basement near the tanks, which will feed domestic water to each facility at pressures between 2.5 kg/cm2 to 4.5 kg/cm2. The same system will be used to feed the overhead fire fighting make up tank.

Provision will be kept to feed STP recycled water tank with domestic water to meet the shortfall in the requirement of recycled water. Small capacity make up tanks, at terrace/roof level, are proposed for domestic and flushing water so as to ensure continuous flow of water to each facility even during DG change over periods during electricity failures A separate hydro-pneumatic system shall be installed in the basement near the main tanks, for providing domestic water to laundry, all the toilets and other requirements in the basement. From soft water tank, water shall be fed to HVAC make up tank constructed near cooling towers, minimum 1.5 m above the basin, through a set of transfer pumps (1 W + 1 S) with automatic level controllers. Soft water shall be supplied to the cooling towers through gravity from this make up tank. Provision shall also be made to supply suitably treated and softened tanker / bore-well water or domestic water into the soft water make up tank to meet any emergency situations. From recycled water tanks, water will be fed to all the gardening and irrigation needs with the help of independent hydro pneumatic pumping system. Hot Water for guest rooms and other public areas shall be supplied through the same domestic water hydro pneumatic system so as to ensure equal pressures at the user points. A separate network of hot water supply shall be provided with a provision of return line and a circulation pump to ensure instant hot water at the user point and minimize the heat loss in the pipe network. For Hotel guest rooms, the entire water supply system shall be designed to supply water at pressures between 2.5 kg/cm 2 to 4.5 kg/cm2 at the user points. For all the BOH areas, the water shall be supplied at a pressure between 1.5 kg/cm2 to 2.5 kg/cm2. It shall be ensured that the pressure of hot and cold water remains the same at the user points.

DESIGN CONCEPT REPORT M.E.P. SERVICES

DESIGN BRIEF ON MEP SERVICES FOR UPCOMING 5 STAR HOTEL AT VARANASI D.3.B. Generation and distribution of hot water and steam: Quantity The total peak hot water requirement is about 54,000 liters per day. (Refer above table for domestic water requirement calculation). Most of the hot water is used for guest rooms, kitchen – BOH areas and laundry. The total peak steam requirement for laundry is assumed to be 350 kg/hr. For kitchen steam, standalone units shall be provided in consultation with the BOH / Kitchen consultant and the required quantity of hot water shall be supplied to the same. Assumptions Following criteria is considered for the design of hot water and steam supply system: 1.

Water supply for 24 hours to all required facilities.

2.

Steam supply to laundry area as per BOH consultant’s requirement

3.

All hot water and steam lines will be insulated.

Hot Water Production and Distribution It is proposed to produce hot water by providing hot water generators with dual burners capable of firing on natural gas and HSD. Three (2 working + 1 Standby) numbers of hot water generators, each of capacity 300,000 K. Cal are proposed to be installed in the basement. These generators will be gas / HSD fired and will receive cold water from feed water tanks through feed water pumps. The feed water will be from the domestic water tank in basement, pumped through a polishing softener so as to maintain the hardness within 5 ppm (soft water). Hot water from the generators will have a temperature of around 80 degree C and this will be the heating medium to heat the cold water in pressurized hot water mixing tanks provided in boiler room for different requirements. Cold feed to all these pressurized hot water mixing tanks will be from the respective hydro pneumatic system for domestic water supply for different requirements. Hot water from the generators will be pumped and supplied to these hot water mixing tanks as heating medium through M.S piping and the return water after transmission of heat to cold water in the mixing tanks will be collected and pumped through return pumps into the generators.

DESIGN CONCEPT REPORT M.E.P. SERVICES

DESIGN BRIEF ON MEP SERVICES FOR UPCOMING 5 STAR HOTEL AT VARANASI It will be ensured that the same pressure is maintained for hot and cold water supplies at the user points as the same hydro pneumatic booster system will be used for hot and cold domestic water supply. Hot water return lines will be provided and a circulation pump will be installed to ensure a constant hot water supply at each user point. Steam It is assumed that the steam requirement is generally in hotel back of house areas, primarily in the laundry for use in flat workers, driers and presses. It is also required in kitchen and in health clubs. As it is not advisable to carry high-pressure steam to high levels, use of steam in hotel public areas (for kitchen and health club) in the building is not contemplated. Thus use of steam in the building is confined to laundry areas only. Steam Production and Distribution It is proposed to have two (1 working + 1 standby) no 350 kg/hr IBR steam boilers, with dual fuel burners – Natural gas and HSD. Heating medium in the boiler can be electricity, oil or gas. Even though electrically operated boiler is the cleanest, as the cost of electricity is prohibitive, it is not advisable to use electricity as heating medium. Natural gas / HSD are cheaper compared to electricity so we suggest using dual fuel burners so as to have a flexibility of using either of the fuels. As the peak requirement is only about 350 Kg per hour, one boiler will be working continuously and second boiler will always be in a standby mode giving 100% standby capacity. These boilers will deliver steam to a steam header from which separate branches will be provided for supply to laundry and BOH areas, If required. Cold water feed for the boiler will be water having a commercial hardness of Zero (0 to 5 ppm of hardness) stored in feed water tanks and pumped to the boilers by feed water pumps. Water from the domestic water compartment in basement softened by polishing softeners to zero hardness will be stored in the feed water tanks and this will be the boiler cold feed. Steam condensate from equipments where steam is indirectly used will be collected and brought back to the feed water tanks to minimize heat losses in the system to the maximum extent possible.

Assumptions 1.

No other parameter which exceeds the treated sewage limits or which is hazardous in nature, will affect the biological

process is present in the raw sewage. 2.

The oil present is in free-floating form. Process Description The brief process description for MBR sewage treatment process is as follows: 1. Sewage from main drain line is collected through gravity pipes into a screen chamber. This manually cleaned screen is provided to remove floating and big size particles, which may choke the pumps and pipe lines.

51

DESIGN CONCEPT REPORT M.E.P. SERVICES

DESIGN BRIEF ON MEP SERVICES FOR UPCOMING 5 STAR HOTEL AT VARANASI 2. Screened sewage is then passed through equalization tank to homogenize the sewage quality and also even out flow fluctuations and feed sewage of uniform quality at constant rate to subsequent treatment units. Air mixing is also provided to mix the contents of the equalization tank. A coarse bubble aeration grid is provided to distribute air uniformly at the base of the equalization tank. 3. After above treatment, raw sewage is fed into aeration basin. 4. In aeration tank MLSS (mixed liquor suspended solids) in the range of 12000 to 15000 mg/l are maintained. The high amount of bacteria gives better and complete removal of organic matter from the raw sewage in relatively small area. Oxygen required for the bacteria is supplied through the blower. The air is used both for scouring of membranes and supplying oxygen to bacteria. 5. The filtration is carried out by the suction pump directly sucking permeates water. The permeate water produced is clear and devoid of bacteria and viruses to the minimum levels. 6. As the membranes are continuously under operation, they are polluted with organic or inorganic substances. Hence, chemical cleaning is carried out once in two to three months for removing substances polluting and clogging the membranes. Normal cleaners used are sodium hypo chloride and citric acid. Benefits for MBR Technology STP MBR (Membrane Bio Reactor) is the latest technology in wastewater treatment with many advantages as listed below: 1. MBR requires much less space when compared to conventional activated sludge process. 2. MBR does not require clarifier tank where as conventional activated sludge process requires clarifier, which further adds to the area requirement and cost. 3. Biological reaction in MBR can be carried out under the condition of 4 to 5 times of MLSS compared to conventional activated sludge process. It means the biological reaction is faster and more organic components included in the feed

52

DESIGN CONCEPT REPORT M.E.P. SERVICES

DESIGN BRIEF ON MEP SERVICES FOR UPCOMING 5 STAR HOTEL AT VARANASI wastewater can be decomposed in shorter time or in smaller space. This also gives good treatment efficiency and high stability of sludge, which is easy to dispose off. 4. The quality of treated water in case of MBR is much superior than conventional biological systems. As the membrane acts as a physical barrier, it does not allow any sludge particles and to great extent bacteria and viruses to pass through it. Microorganisms like coliform or cryptosporidium can be easily removed in MBR. This increases the reliability of the system multifold. 5. Conventional biological systems require further costlier tertiary treatment to match the performance of the MBR system. This may include coagulation, filtration, chlorination, adsorption, UV treatment etc. 6. MBR system has minimum number of treatment units and very simple to operate. It does not require any regular handling of hazardous chemicals. As the treatment units are less, it is less prone to system breakdowns. 7. As conventional treatment systems require disinfections with chlorine, it needs to be removed completely before applying on to gardens or for green belt development. Otherwise, high amount of residual chlorine may damage the plants. Also, disinfection with any disinfectant does not remove organisms, it only inactivates them. The effect depends on the amount of disinfectant used, the quality of filtration applied, the retention time available for oxidation and the existence or non-existence of other competing reaction partners (scavenging). As MBR acts like a physical barrier, it does completely remove bacteria and viruses up to a degree of 4 - 6 log removal (104 to 106 times reduction), independent of type or life form of organism. It also helps in complete retention of biomass in the aeration basin. 8. As the system has minimum units, it requires less chemical cost and power consumption when compared to conventional systems. 9. As chlorination is not required, MBR does not produce disinfection by-products or bad odors. 10.

The energy consumption of “MBR” is extremely low (0.30 kwh/m3) and the treated domestic effluents has a four

to six log (99.99%) removal of total coliform. The MBR system does not require the use of chemicals, thereby making it extremely safe during operation and re-use.

Rain water pipes / spouts will be provided from terraces to ground level for taking out the rainwater.

2.

Slope of natural ground and infiltration capacity of open ground within the plot will not be sufficient to absorb / dispose off surface water.

A grating at the main entrance will be provided to prevent entry of outside rainwater to the premises.

6.

Ground shall have minimum 1:500 surface slopes towards storm water collection system.

D.3.F. Rain Water Collection and Harvesting Design Criteria Broadly, there are two options for rain water harvesting: 1. 100% percolation / infiltration of the rain water to raise the sub-soil water levels and no reuse. 2. Maximum possible storage of rain water falling in the said premises and re-using the same for flushing, air-conditioning and irrigation, surplus water to be used for percolation / infiltration. The first option of 100% percolation / infiltration is possible only in the places where dry sub-soil aquifers are available so that the ground water table is recharged. This option doesn’t give the immediate benefit of water to the society, but over a period of time maintains or increases the water table of the area. Second option of storage of rain water and then re-using the same with suitable treatment is more advantageous in the present scenario where we are facing shortages of water. The stored rain water can be re-used for air-conditioning, flushing and irrigation.

2.7 Fire Service Access & Facilities 2.7.1 Fire Fighting Philosophy The philosophy to be adopted for fire-fighting within the building will be such that sufficient internal provisions are included within the design in order that a ‘relatively’ safe environment within the building can be created, in an area located near the floor of fire origin, such that fire-fighting activities can all take place internally and that external fire-fighting is not considered necessary. 2.7.2 Perimeter/External Access The building requires an open space/courtyard be provided around the entire perimeter of the building, a minimum of 6m on either side, to allow sufficient Fire Service vehicle access to the building. The necessity for vehicle access round all sides of the building is based upon the presumption that the Fire Service expect to be able to fight a fire from outside the building as well as internally. However, the fighting strategy for the Building is that ALL fire-fighting will occur from within the building (ie. from the fire-fighting shaft using the wet rising mains etc.). This is the preferred strategy as it is consistent for ALL fire locations within the building. Where access to the site for the Fire Service is provided, the minimum width of any gate will be 6m and any entrance canopy/archway will be a minimum of 4.5m in height. The open space at the entrance to the building will be paved up to a minimum of 6m from the building and the paving will be capable to supporting the weight of the a
