QUESTION: An industrial wastewater from glucose production facility will be treated in an activated sludge treatment process. It is determined that 90% of glucose is biodegradable. It is also tested that the activated sludge treatment provides 100% BOD removal. This wastewater initially contains 2000 mg/L of glucose (C6H12O6), but no other organic and inorganic species. a) Calculate input TOC, COD and BOD of wastewater before treatment.b) Calculate output TOC, COD and BOD of wastewater after treatment.
2.3 You have been asked to design a circular de-chlorination basin for 2 MGD treated wastewater. If use Na2S2O3 and the depth of the tank is to be 4.5 ft, what would you suggest the diameter of this tank? a) 50 ft c) not enough information 2.4 Alum required for a 1.5 mg/L dose and for a plant treat 10 MGD of drinking water is: a) 68.3 Ib/day b) 42 ft b) 125.11b/day d) no need for tank c) 62.6 Ib/day = d) 72.8 Ib/day
An ion exchange softener of 5 m3 volume is used to treat the raw water for a community. The absorptive capacity of medium is 90 kg/m3 at particular flow rate. The rate of flow from source is 25000 m3 /day. Determine the limiting hardness in treated water if ion exchanger softener is regenerated on daily basis
You are treating 10 million gallons per day (MGD) of water with alum at a dosage of 50.0 mg/L. Alum is available as a hydrated salt Al2(SO4)3.16H2O. Determine:(a) The monthly alum dosage required in metric tons/month (1 metric ton = 1000 kg)(b) If you assume that each equivalent of alum added to the water consumes 1 equivalent of alkalinity, determine the alkalinity consumed by alum addition in milliequivalents/L (meq/L)(c) Given that the raw water contained 30 mg/L as CaCO3 of alkalinity, is the alkalinity sufficient? What would happen if the alkalinity is inadequate?
2. Cadmium is a pollutant of concern in mining. The initial concentration of cadmium in a mining wastewater (also called acid mine drainage) is 0.1 mg/L, and the EPA Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) is 0.005 mg/L. What must the pH be so that the wastewater does not exceed the EPA MCL? Given: Cd(OH)2 → Cď²* + OH (unbalanced) K, = 5.33 x 1015 Cd(OH)2: Cd2+ = 112.4 g/mol 17.0 g/mol = 146.4 g/mol OH- =
can you put the values in the mass balance? what is the answer of part b of this question?
A wastewater treatment plant has been operating with the following specifications:flow rate = 7,630 m3/d, aeration tank volume = 1,270 m3, mixed liquor volatile suspendedsolids = 2,600 mg/l. The soluble BOD in the plant influent used to be 133 mg/l, but hasrecently changed to 222 mg/l. What is the new MLVSS this plant should use to maintain thesame F/M ratio as before? (Ans. Xnew = 4,340 mg MLVSS/l)
2. You are asked to design a disinfection system with a capacity of 50,000 L/hr to achieve 3 log removal of C. parvum from a water source with a minimum annual temperature of 10 °C. Assume that you will use free chlorine at pH=6 and that you are designing to achieve a chlorine residual of 0.3 mg/L. Specify the total volume required (in m³) for the chlorine contactor and its dimensions (LxWxH in m)
The aeration tank influent flows at a rate of 1600 cu.m/day with BOD(biochemical oxygen demand) of 145 mg/L. The MLSS is around 200 mg/L. If the capacity of the aeration tank is 2000 cu.m, determine which of the following statements is true. a) The aeration tank is not operating in an ideal condition; there are excess bacteria that might go with the treated water b) The aeration tank is operating in good condition; BOD and bacteria are in ideal balance c) The aeration tank is operating in good condition; however, there is a need to control the flow rate of the feed d) The aeration tank is not operating in an ideal condition; need to add more bacteria to treat excess BOD

2. A wastewater treatment plant disposes of its effluents into a stream at a point A. Characteristics of the stream at a location fairly upstream of A and of the effluent are as below: Item Units Effluent Stream m3 /s mg l1 Flow 0.20 0.50 Dissolved 0xygen 2.00 8.00 Temperature °C 26 22 BOD, at 20°C mgll 40 3. Assume that the deoxygenation constant K, at 20°C (base e) = 0.20 d-l and the re-aeration constant K, at 20°C (base e) Equilibrium concentration of dissolved oxygen C, for the fresh water is as follows: 0.40 d-1 for the mixture. %3D Temperature °C 18 20 22 23 24 25 26 C, (mg/1) 9.54 8.99 8.83 8.53 8.38 8.22 9.17 The velocity of the stream downstream of the point A is 0.2 m/s.
