Biological Processes

Biological solid waste includes bacterial and contaminated waste produced by living individuals. Its treatment is essential to prevent the spread of any air-borne or water-borne diseases or diseases transmitted from one organism to another in a food chain. There are many benefits of the biological solid waste treatment and some of them are: the minimized quantity of waste substance, waste control, eradicating any disease-causing pathogens, generation of biogas, composting, anaerobic digestion, bio drying, mechanical biological treatment, microbial fuel cell, phytoremediation, and biofiltration. The final products of the biological solid waste treatment may be recycled to obtain organic fertilizers or disposed of in SWDS (Solid Waste Disposal Site) after proper treatment.

The local waste management agency has proposed to set up a waste combustion facility next to the existing landfill to maximize the life span of the landfill. Given the following information, determine how much the life span of the landfill is increased by the combustion. (a) Composition of MSW as given in column 1 of Table 3-4. (b) Estimated landfill capacity remaining = 300,000 yd3 (c) Capacity of combustion facility = 50 ton waste/h (d) Effective on-line combustion time per day = 22 h (e) Initial specific weight of waste = 287 lb/yd3 (f) Final specific weight of waste (MSW and ash) in landfill = 1200 lb/yd3
You are studying a reactor that receives a particular reactive contaminant which follows a zero order reaction process (ie. the reaction rate is independent of the concentration of the contaminant). If you assume plug flow, a cross sectional average velocity of 10 cm/sec, and a zero order reaction rate of 0.5 mg/l min, how long should my reactor be such thatthe concentration is reduced by from 10 mg/L to 1 mg/L? (hint: do a mass balance for the system).

A city receives 42 tons per day of a solid waste stream with chemical formula C4H17O to their waste to energy facility each day. Estimate the air requirements to combust this waste in cubic ft per day. Assume specific weight of air is 0.075 lb/cu ft and that air is 21% oxygen by weight.
The default carbon dioxide emission factor for biodiesel fuel is 70,800 kg/TJ, and the emission factor for diesel fuel is 74,100 kg/TJ. Which diesel fuel, biodiesel or “regular” diesel fuel, has the greater carbon intensity per unit of energy? What are their respective carbon intensities compared to natural gas? If a city were to invest in climate-friendly buses for public transportation, should it choose a diesel-powered bus, a biodiesel-powered bus, or a natural gas-powered bus?
A light manufacturing facility produces 125,000 gallons per week of sanitary sewage and uncontaminated wash water which are discharged to a municipal sewer system. A small parts rinsing operation flushes about 12 ounces per week of trichloroethylene down the sink. Does the facility have to manage their wastewater as hazardous waste (see 40 CFR 261.3)?
In 2016, about 30 million tons of combustible municipal solid waste (MSW) was generated in the United States. One ton of MSW burned in waste-to-energy plants in the United States, generated about 474 kWh of electricity. If the average annual electricity consumption for a U.S. residential utility customer was 10,399 kilowatthours (kWh). How many households could use this amount of electricity?

You are provided with the following information about a municipal wastewater treatment plant. This plant uses the traditional activated-sludge process. Assume the microorganisms are 55 percent efficient at converting food to biomass, the organisms have a first-order death rate constant of 0.050/day, and the microbes reach half of their maximum growth rate when CE 3059 Page 2 of 2the BOD5 concentration is 10.0 mg/L. There are 150,000 people in the community (their wastewater production is 225 L/day-capita, 0.10 kg BOD5/capita-day). The effluent standard is BOD5 = 20 mg/L and TSS = 20 mg/L. Suspended solids were measured as 4,300 mg/L in a wastewater sample obtained from the aeration tank, 15,000 mg/L in the secondary sludge, 200 mg/L in the plant influent, and 100 mg/L in the primary clarifier effluent.
