Landfills

The landfill is a site used for the disposal of waste materials. The landfill is a solid waste facility that is often known as a dumping ground. The image below shows a landfill site in Hawaii. Landfilling is the most ancient and common method used for the disposal of waste. For the landfill, a deep trench is constructed in an isolated place away from the city. The trench for landfills is designed properly after analyzing the total population and the waste generation per capita. The waste is dumped into the trench and after every layer of waste, a layer of soil is spread on the top of it.

A WWTP with activated sludge secondary treatment receives 0.290 m / s of flow from the primary clarifier. There is a concentration of microbes in the aeration basin of 2500 mg VSS/L. The return sludge has a concentration of 11,000 mg VSS/L. The concentration soluble BOD from the primary clarifier is 200 mg BODs/L. The yield is 0.49 mg VSS/mg BOD 5. The solids residence time is 10 days. The effluent soluble BOD concentration is 5 mg BODs/L. The decay coefficient is 0.1 1/d. What is the volume of the activated sludge tank? First draw a picture of the system and label all variables.

A filter is designed with the following specifications. The anthracite and sand have densities of 1700 and 2650 kg/m3, respectively, and the design temperature is 10 oC. For the given sample, calculate the clean-bed head loss. Bed Type Dual Media Filtration Rate 10 m/h Anthracite Effective Size 1.2 mm Anthracite Depth 1.4 m Sand Effective Size 0.55 mm Sand Depth 0.4 m
A dual media filter is composed of 0.30 m anthracite (mean particle size 0.20 mm) that is placed over a 0.60 m layer of sand (mean particle size 0.70 mm) with a filtration rate of 9.78 m/h. Assume the grains sphericity ф = 0.75 and porosity (ε) = 0.40. Estimate the head loss in the clean filter?
In a rapid sand filter, the time for reaching particle break through (T,) is defined as the time elapsed from start of filter run to the time at which the turbidity of the effluent from the filter is greater than 2.5 NTU. The time for reaching terminal head loss (T,) is defined as the time elapsed from the start of the filter run to the time when head loss across the filter is greater than 3 m. The effect of increasing the filter depth (while keeping all other conditions same) on T and T is (A) T increases and T decreases. (B) Both T and T increase. (C) T decreases and T, increases. (D) Both T and T , decrease.
