Abstract:

Guinea is the country known as the water tower of West Africa, but unfortunately it does not reflect the access to drinkable water within the country. For this case study, the focus was on the capital Conakry, as it is one of the places in the country where people subscribe to get access the drinkable water. In Conakry, more than 80% of the water supplied to the consumers comes from Grande Chute treated water (ground water from the mountain). The raw water coming from the Grande Chute in treated in the Yessoulou facility. Yessoulou represent the biggest water treatment plant supplying drinkable water to the capital Conakry. By producing a large amount of drinkable water, the facility failed to accomplish the required standard for the quality. Therefore the research focused on analysing several samples collected at different points. From the result obtained, two critical points were highlighted. Based on those points, a design of auxiliary water treatment unit was made, and for its implementation there would be use of modern water purification technologies such as Electrocoagulation device (in the lake where the raw water for the treatment centre comes from) and ASOR module (in the disinfection stage at the end of the treatment) to guarantee the high quality of Yessoulou produced water.
