A laboratory test on a suspension of solid in liquid gave the following information:Original height of sludge before settling 10 inchesFree settling rate 0.10 inch per minuteHeight of sludge at the end of free settling period 6.5 inchesHeight of sludge at the end of 120 minutes 4 inchesHeight of sludge when completely settled 1.5 inchesOne thousand cubic feet of similar sludge is to be settled in a vertical cylindrical tank, the diameterof which is equal to the depth of the liquid suspension in it. Determine the time it would take forthe solid to settle to a height of 20% of the original height of the sludge.
Q5/ In a test to determine the bulk modulus of a liquid it was found that as the absolute pres- sure was changed from 15 to 3000 psi the volume decreased from 10.240 to 10.138 in.³ Determine the bulk modulus for this liquid.
A mixed liquor sample form an activated sludge plant was settled in a one-litre measuring cylinder for 30 minutes after which time, a volume of 350 m/ of sludge was recorded. When 50 m/ of the mixed liquor were filtered through a GFC paper for the determination of MLSS the gain in weight of the paper was 0.1375 g. Determine the SVI.
A raw sewage sample was brought in for total suspended solids and volatile solids analysis. A portion of the sample was poured into a tared evaporating dish and weighed. The sample was then heated at 105°C for 4 hours, weighed, heated at 550°C overnight, and weighed again. The data are as follows: • Tare wt. 42.9073g• Wt of sample 104.4680g• 105 °C wt. 45.4140g• 550 °C wt. 43.3236g What is the TSS in g/L? What percent of the solids are volatile?
A coagulation treatment plant with flow of 0.5 metre cube per second is dosing alum at 23 milligram per litre. No other chemical is being added. The raw water suspended solid concentration is 37 milligram per litre. The effluent suspended solid concentration is measured as 12 milligram per litre. The sludge content is one percent and the specific gravity of sludge solid is 3.01 What volume of sludge must be disposed of each day? Based on your result, remark with reference to water treatment process.
Problem 4In water and wastewater treatment processes a filtration device may be used to remove water from the sludgeformed by a precipitation reaction. The initial concentration of sludge from a softening reaction is 20,000 mg/Land the volume of sludge is 100 m3. After filtration the sludge solids concentration is 350,000 mg/L. Assume thatthe sludge does not change density during filtration, and there is no accumulation of sludge in the filtrationdevice. Using the mass balance method, determine the volume of sludge after filtration.
