Q-24. Civil Engineering problem.
For water purification in a city, it is decided to use rapid sand filter after sedimentation tanks, with the following data: Design loading rate per filter 200 m³/m²/day; Design flow rate = 0.5m³/s; Surface area per filter 55m². Find the number of filter units required in the plant.
A rapid sand filter is to be provided in a water treatment plant, to process 60 MLD of water for a town. There is a provision of allowing 3% of the filtered water for storage to meet the backwashing requirement. Rate of filtration for the filter system is 20 m3/m2/hr. Each day 20 min of backwashing is done. Then, A Flow of water during filtration is laminar flow and flow of water in case of backwashing is turbulent. B The area of filter unit is 128.75 m2 C The area of filter unit is 130.55 m2 Correct Option Rapid sand filter is less efficient in removing bacteria. Correct Option
Dear I need solution for this problem also The system of two basins shown in the picture, full flow stream 3785x1000 l/day in which the concentration of non-conservative pollutant is 20mg/l. The rate of decomposition of a non-conservative pollutant is 0.3/day. The volume of the first pool is 18925x1000 l and the second one is 11355x1000 l. Assuming complete mixing in each basin, determine the concentration of the non-conservative pollutant that leaves the individual basins. Please se attachemnt . Thank You very much
Calculate net wastewater generation from the following data: Total Population = 1000 Water consumption rate = 200 L/cap.day Infiltration rate = 15% Evaporation rate = 5% . Express the net wastewater generation in m3/day and L/sec.
Sewerage waste was discharged into Mulungushi River from Iris lodge which is located along the banks of the river as they had a problem with a septic tank since it was full. This problem normally occurs in the rain season and this resulted in a mixture having DO of about 9mg/L. The average occupancy rate monthly is about 70%. The septic tanks are emptied after every two weeks. After 5 days, DO dropped to 3mg/L when ZEMA carried out the analysis of the water sample in the river. The reaction constant rate k was found to be 0.22 day ^(-1) and the oxygen consumed in the first five days was 200mg/L. a) How do suspended solids and chemicals affect the surrounding environment? Give two examples. b) What would be the ultimate carbonaceous BOD? c) What will be the remaining oxygen demand after 5 days? d) What advise can you give to the to the lodge owner as a Civil Engineer?
5. You are asked to design a single media filtration system for a drinking water facility. The design flow rate is 20 mgd (million gallons per day). The ideal filter velocity for your system is 8 m/hr. You design a set of filters to be used in parallel. Each filter box has a surface area of 50 m². a. How many filters do you need to construct? b. Estimate the (clean-filter) head loss in kPa? c. What mass removal (filter efficiency) would you expect for an influent stream that contains equal parts (by mass) of 1, 10 and 100 um particles? You can assume an adhesion efficiency a = 0.7. Sand Effective Size (mm) 0.8 Uniformity Coefficient 1.2 Grain Porosity Density (g/cm³) 2.6 0.4 Layer Thickness (m) 1.5
Problem: 1. Design a facultative pond to treat (10650)gpm of sewage having (10650/20)mg/L of BOD. The average summer and winter temperature is 43°C and 13°C, respectively. Convert the same pond into aerated lagoon, if the concentration of influent BOD reaches to (10650)mg/L. 2. Determine the diameter of a trickling filter for a wastewater flowing at the rate of (10650)m³/day. The influent BOD (S.) concentration for the wastewater is (10650 * 10)mg/L, whereas desirable effluent BOD should be as per NEQS.
A city has a population of 100000 with an average rate of demand of 160 litres per head per day. What is the actual number of filters required if the size of each filter is 9 m x 5m? Assume the average filtration rate as 4500 litres per hour per m². (a) 1 (c) 4 (b) 2 (d) 5
Reuse of wastewater for Non-potable urban use (e.g., fire protection, air conditioning, toilet flushing) 3. Describe the treatment technology employed in the case study to meet the water quality requirements for the above reuse option. Case Study: The success of the NEWater proiect has inspired similar initiatives in other countries, such as the Groundwater Replenishment System in Orange County, California, which also uses advanced treatment technologies to purify wastewater for non-potable urban uses
A wastewater treatment plant will receive a flow of 30,254 m3/day. Calculate volume (m3) of a 4-m deep circular, primary clarifier that would remove 50 percent of suspended solids. Assume the surface overflow rate used for the design is 60 m3/m2-day.
The precipitation in October is 2.5 inches in a 1400 mi² watershed. The ET rate is 0.8 inch/mo. A river flows out of the watershed at 1000 cfs. What is the groundwater recharge rate for the month of October (ft3/mo)? Assume no groundwater exfiltration or other surface flows. What are some assumptions you should make for this problem? What is precipitation in units of ft³/mo? What is ET in ft3/mo? What is the river flow in ft³/mo? What is the groundwater recharge rate in October in ft3/mo?
