An MSW landfill has inactive cells covered with an intermediate cover of 1 m of sandy-loam soil. The soil is washed before use, thus it is at 100% field capacity when applied. The local 10-year average weather data is as follows.

A municipality with a population of 120,000 is under state mandate to recycle 20% of the solid waste generated by its citizens. The remaining 80% will be landfilled. The per capita waste generation rate is 2.2 kg/day. The landfilled waste in-place maximum compacted density is 820 kg/m3, and the soil-cover-to-compacted-waste ratio is 1:4 by volume. The landfill covers a rectangular area 400 m by 500 m. The maximum landfill height cannot exceed 25 m with 1:1 side slopes. What is the operating life of the landfill?
How many residences can be served? If we have a compactor truck which has a capacity of 30 yd3, each truck makes 3 trips/day 5 days a week, each residence has 3 people and each person produces 4lbs of waste. The density of the compacted waste is 425 lbs/yd3.
A town with 2,350 residents wants to establish a municipality owned and operated solid waste collection program. They can purchase one of three possible trucks that have the ff. characteristics: Truck A, 18 m^3 capacity Truck B, 15 m^3 capacity Truck C, 12 m^3 capacity If the truck is to collect the refuse for one-fifth of the town each day during a 5-day work week, then every residence will be collected during the week, and the truck will have to make only one trip per day to the landfill. Which truck or trucks will have sufficient capacity. Assume a rate of 1.75 kg/capita/d. Assume that the truck is able to compact the refuse to 350 kg/ m^3 What is the total tonnage of solid waste to be collected/wk? What is the total weight of waste to be collected everyday? What is the required truck capacity in cubic meters? Which truck should be bought?
3.1 Estimate the maximum number of residences it can be served per week by a typical compactor truck that has a capacity of 28 yd. The truck can make three trips per day, works for 6 days per week. Assume a generation rate of 4.5 Ib/capita/day, each residence contains 3.5 capita, and the density of solid waste in the truck is 500 Ib/cubic yard. a) 2285 residence/wk b) 2158 residence/wk c) 1754 residence/wk d) 1526 residence/wk
A stream with cross section area of 23 m2 carries 10 m3/s of water with 21 mg/L of a non-conservative waste at its inlet. The rate of decay of the non-conservative waste in the stream is 0.23 day1. What will be the steady- state concentration of this non-conservative waste in the stream downstream at distance of 20 Km kilometer ?from the inlet
A waste with a 5-day BOD (BOD)=200mg/L and k = 0.1 day¹ is discharged to a river at a rate of 1 m/s. The river has flow rate of 9 m/s and a background ultimate BOD (Lo) of 2 mg/L upstream of the discharge. (a) Calculate the ultimate BOD (Le) of the waste. (b) Furthermore, assuming instantaneous mixing after discharge, calculate Lo of the river water after it has received the waste. Ans.: (a) Ultimate BOD of wastewater = 508.3 mg/L, (b) Ultimate BOD of river water after discharge of waste-52.63 mg/L.
a municipality treats 15x10^6 gal/day of groundwater containing the following: CO2 =17.6 mg/L, Ca2+ = 80mg/L, Mg2+ = 48.8 mg/L, Na+ = 23mg/L, Alk (HCO3-) = 270 mg/L as CaCO3, SO4 2 =125mg/L and Cl- = 35mg/L. The water is to be softened by excess lime treatment. Assume that the soda ash is 90 percent sodium carbonate, and the lime is 85 percent weight CaO. Determine the lime and soda ash dosages necessary for precipitation softening (kg/day).
Design a sedimentation basin for a water treatment plant with the following specifications assuming it is required to supply a city with a population of 50,000 people: Rectangular or square basin • Depth: 7-18 ft ● . • Width: 10-50 ft Detention time: 4-8 hours Flow through velocity: <0.55 ft/min Overflow rate: 400-1,100 gal/day-ft² Draw a figure to show calculated dimensions. You may consider to use SI units in calculations. ● ● Hint: Overflow rate is Flow/Surface Area; Detention time is Volume of tank/Flow rate; and Depth= Volume/Surface area
