The rate of eradicating microbes through chlorination process is 0.22/min when the wastewater is flowing at a rate of 36 m3/h. If the depth of chlorination tank is 1.6 m and the width is 1.2 m, determine the required length of the tank to achieve 98% removal.
An activated sludge wastewater treatment system was designed and operated in a steadystate under the following conditions:• Reactor volume of 10,000 m3in total;• Sludge concentration (MLSS) of 3200 mg/L in the reactor;• Return sludge concentration at 8000 mg/L (the underflow of the secondary clarifier)• Each day, 400 m3 of underflow sludge (return sludge) was wasted as excesssludge;What is the average Sludge Residence Time (SRT)?
Determine how much extra volume is needed to treat the following wastewater in a CSTR than in a plug flow reactor. • Influent TOC: 273 mg/L • Required Effluent TOC: 57.0 mg/L • Flow: 792,500 gallons/day • First Order Microbiological Rate Coefficient (k’): 5.98/day Answer: 295,000 gallons 2.

C A trickling filter plant treats 1500 cum per day of sewage with a BOD, of 220 mg/L and a suspended solid concentration of 250 mg/L. Estimate the total solid production assuming that primary clarification removes 30% of BOD and 60% of influent solids. Take the solid production in the trickling filter as a 0.5 kg/kg of the applied BOD.
A rapidly mixed tank consists of a treatment unit used to disinfect a solution. The solution enters the 2000 m tank at a rate of 0.4 m/s. The pollutant contains 7.94 CFU per liter and has no 0 mg/l of chlorine. The treatment unit uses a stock solution containing 750 mg/L which is released a rate that will cause the chlorine concentration in the tank to be 2 mg/L. The chlorine reacts with the water in such a way that it is depleted at a rate (in mg/L-h) given by ra = ( -0.45/ h) Ca. When exposed to chlorine, the bacteria die off at a rate (in cells/L-s) given by: Cet Cbact Tbact Img + Ca a) Calculate the required flow rate in L/s of the stock solution when the system is operating at steady state, including a schematic of the system. b) Determine the bacterial concentration (in CFU/L) thar should be expected in the effluent from the tank?
QUESTION 2 Supposing you were part of the students who visited Barekease water treatment plant for a practical session during the semester in Kumasi. During the session, you had face to face interaction with the Water Engineer in charge of the chemical treatment unit a.) Discuss four (4) key factors that affect the selection of a disinfectant ) Examine five factors that influence disinfection efficacy and microbial inactivation ) A dual media filter is composed of 0.30 m anthracite (mean particle size 0.20 mm) that is placed over a 0.60 m layer of sand (mean particle size 0.70 mm) with a filtration rate of 9.78 m/h. Assume the grains sphericity ф= 0.75and porosity (ε)=0.40. Determine the head loss in the clean filter?
At a small water treatment plant which has 4 filters, the rates of filtration and backwashing are 200 m³/d/m² and 1000 m³/d/m² respectively. Backwashing is done for 15 min per day. The maturation, which occurs initially as the filter is put back into service after cleaning, takes 35 min. It is proposed to recover the water being wasted during backwashing and maturation. The percentage increase in the filtered water produced (up to two decimal places) would be

However, when exposed to chlorine, only a portion of the potential oxidant demand is actually exerted. Assume (unrealistically) that 10% of the maximum potential demand is exerted instantaneously when the chlorine is first dosed into the solution, before any chlorine reacts with ammonia. Assume also that, when Cl, residual (mg/L)
A jar test reveals that the optimum alum coagulant dose is 50 mg/L at a pH of 8.1 and a temperature of 73 F. How many pounds per day of 49% alum are required for the whole plant? Total flow is 36 MGD with four parallel treatment plants, each designed for 12 MGD. Could use some guidance on setting up the equations.
Coming home after the end of the winter semester, you find that your family’s swimming pool has not be maintained well. In particular, it has no chlorine residual at all, and it is full of tree leaves. You buy a concentrated chlorine solution (1% as Cl2) and begin to meter it into the pool at a rate of 100 mL/hour. The pool has a volume of 200 m3. You also add new water, and remove in-pool water, at a rate of 3.785 L/minute. The chlorine reacts with the organic matter in the with a rate of 0.5/hour. How long will it take to get the Cl2 residual up to 1 mg/L if you add Cl2 continously.
