Concept explainers

Sediment transport

Sediment transport or Soil transport is the movement of solid particles, usually due to the combination of gravitational forces acting on the sediment, and the movement of the liquid at which the sediment enters. Soil erosion occurs in natural systems where the particles are sandstones (sand, rocks), mud, or clay; the liquid is air, water, or ice; and the gravitational force that works to move particles to the landing surface. Sediment transportation or soil migration due to the movement of liquids occurs in rivers, lakes, lakes, oceans, and other bodies of water as a result of currents and waves. Transportation is also caused by glaciers as they flow, and to places on earth under the influence of wind. Soil erosion due to gravity alone is possible in most sloping areas, including hills, scarves, cliffs, and the continental shelf — the continental boundary of the slope.

Question

A car washing and lubricating company has been operating for several years (more than 10 yr) in a terrain with the following characteristics: porous, filterable with a freatic level near to the surface (1.5 m depth). The company is located close by to an estuary branch which is quite useful for them since they discharge all the disposals and waste generated by this activity directly into the estuary. These disposals contain a high level of oils and greases. All the dumping from the car maintenance goes directly into the soil since there are not palettes or gutters. The lubricating company operates for 20hrs for seven days per week. The Municipality since the local people has complained has arranged the execution of an EIA and you are part of it.

What type of environmental evaluation has to be performed by the Municipality according to this case
Mention three environmental impacts of this activity
Mention three mitigation measures you will propose as part of your EMP to mitigate the impacts identified

A waste-holding lagoon situated near the main plant of a chemicalcompany receives sludge on a daily basis. When the lagoon is full, it is necessary toremove the sludge to a site located 4.95 kilometers from the main plant. Currently,when the lagoon is full, the sludge is removed by pumping it into a tank truck andhauling it away. This process requires the use of a portable pump that has an initialcost of $800 and an 8-year life. The company can operate the pump at a cost of $25per day, but the truck and driver cost $110 per day.Alternatively, the company has a proposal to install a pump and pipeline to theremote site. The pump would have an initial cost of $600, a life of 10 years, and acost of $3 per day to operate. (a) If the MARR is 15% per year and the pipeline willcost $3.52 per meter to construct, how many days per year must the lagoon requirepumping to justify construction of the pipeline? (b) The lagoon was pumped40 times last year. Which alternative would have been cheaper?…
A completely mixed activated sludge process is used to treat a wastewater flow of 1 million litres per day (1 MLD) having a BOD5 of 200 mg/L. The biomass concentration in the aeration tank is 2000 mg/L and the concentration of the net biomass leaving the system of 50mg/L. the aeration tank has a volume of 200 m³. What is the hydraulic retention time of the wastewater in aeration tank?
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)
Problem 6. A new manufacturing facility is being located in your town. It plans to produce 2,000 m³/day of a wastewater that consists primarily of water and the chemical phenol dissolved in it at a concentration of 5 mg/L. Phenol has a chemical formula of C,H5OH. The company has asked the municipal wastewater treatment to consider treating this industrial waste. Your plant currently treats 30,000 m³/day with an average influent of 350 mg COD/L. a) Estimate the increase in COD loading (kg COD/day) if you accept the industrial waste discharge? b) Estimate the additional amount of oxygen (in kg O2/day) needed to oxidize the phenol at the treatment plant.
A Granulated Activated Carbon (GAC) adsorption laboratory column 10cm in diameter and 3m deep, is found to produce good results in COD removal when operated at a flow of 50L/h. The porosity of the GAC is 0.5 Calculate the following: You need to design a GAC system consisting of two columns in series for treating the same water at a rate of 0.5 ML/d. Practical considerations limit the diameter of the columns to 3m. Calculate the minimum required height of the columns. Area=7.854×10−3m3 Volume= 6.3660m/hr t=0.47123 Q=2.122 bed volume /hr
The wastewater from a synthetic textile manufacturing plant is discharged to a municipal treatment plant for processing with domestic wastewater. The characteristics of the synthetic textile wastewater are 1500 mg/L BOD, 2000 mg/L SS, 30 mg/L nitrogen, and no phosphorus. The characteristics of the domestic wastewater are 200 mg/L BOD, 240 mg/L SS, 35 mg/L nitrogen, and 7 mg/L phosphorus. Find the BOD, SS of the mixture. The ratio of flow rate is domestic/textile = 4/1
Waste engineering,
Raw primary sludge at a solids concentration of 4% is mixed with waste activated sludge at a solids concentration of 0.5%. The flows are 20 and 24 gal/min, respectively. What is the resulting solids concentration? This mixture is next thickened to a solids concentration of 8% solids. What are the quantities (in gallons per minute) of the thickened sludge and thickener overflow (water) produced? Assume perfect solids capture in the thickener.
