Concept explainers

Integrated Solid Waste Management

Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) is a thorough waste suppression, compost, removal and recycling Program. An effective ISWM system considers how to suppress, manage and recycle solid waste in a manner that is most efficiently to protect human health and the surrounding. ISWM system requires evaluation of public wants and demands and then selecting and merging the most effective waste management activities for the proposed demands. The main ISWM activities for solid waste management are Waste prevention, Recycling and Composting, and Combustion and Removal and waste collection in a properly planned, constructed, managed and mitigated landfill areas. Each of these requires careful designing, financing, accumulation, and delivery of activities.

A groundwater borehole at USM engineering campus contains 3000 mg/L of TDS. The flow is 0.32 m³/s. The design TDS concentration of the product water is below 400 mg/L. The net pressure is 40 atm. The membrane manufacturer provides that the membrane has a water flux rate coefficient of 2.2 x 10-6 s/m and a solute mass transfer rate of 1.5 x 10-6 m/s. Calculate the membrane area required for the RO system.
Two circular clarifiers operated in parallel service a single stage bio-tower system (plastic media) that receives municipal wastewater at an average flow (Qaverage) of 2000 m³/d, with BOD5 = 200 mg/L. The internal flow recirculation ratio is 2.4. The maximum overflow rate for the clarifiers is 1.8 m³/m²-hr. The design procedures require that the sizing of the clarifiers be based on "PEAK" flow which is twice the average flow (Qpeak = 2 × Qaverage), and media depth in the biotower is 3.0 m. Determine: (a) The overall BOD5 removal. (b) the surface area and the diameter of each clarifier. (k = 0.06 min¹; n = 0.5),
