A chlorination tank of depth 1.5 m and width 1.2 m is used for treating wastewater flowing in at a rate of 36 m³/hour. The reaction rate of the disinfection is 0.27 min-1. Calculate the required length of the tank if the wastewater is to be disinfected up to 98%.
At a small water treatment plant which has 4 filters, the rates of filtration and backwashing are 200 m³/d/m² and 1000 m³/d/m² respectively. Backwashing is done for 15 min per day. The maturation, which occurs initially as the filter is put back into service after cleaning, takes 35 min. It is proposed to recover the water being wasted during backwashing and maturation. The percentage increase in the filtered water produced (up to two decimal places) would be

water supply scheme transports 20 MLD (Million Litres per Day) water through a 500 mm diameter pipeline for a distance of 2.5 km. A chlorine dose of 3.50 mg/litre is applied at the starting point of the pipeline to attain a certain level of disinfection at the downstream end. It is decided to increase the flow rate from 10 MLD to 13 MLD in the pipeline. Assume exponent for concentration, n= 0.96. With this increased flow, in order to attain the same level of disinfection, the chlorine dose (in mg/litre) to be applied at the starting point should be
