Approximately 505 gallons of liquid gasoline have contaminated the soil underneath an existing gasoline station. The SVE (soil vapor extraction) system air flow is designed at 80 ft'/min. Calculate the amount of time required to remove 78% of the gasoline if the average concentration of gasoline vapors in the extracted air is 540 mg/m³. The density of liquid gasoline is 6.6 lb/gal.

A gravity settling tank is to be used to clean waste water from an oil refinery. The waste watercontains 1% by volume of oil droplets ranging in size from 100 to 1000 microns which will beremoved from the water before the latter is discharged to a nearby river. The tank is ofrectangular section 2 ft wide and 4 ft deep with provisions for smooth continuous discharge ifclean water and skimming off of oil at the surface of the discharge end. If 10,000 gallons perminute of waste water is to be cleaned of oil droplets, specific gravity of oil is 0.87. Calculate therequired length of the settling tank.
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?

Problem: You are designing a 20 mgd wastewater treatment plant. To characterize the plant's influent solids, the lab used 90 ml samples of the ty[ical wastewater and the following equipment: Solids: Lab Equipment Evaporation Dish Gooch crucible 2.0-micron paper filter 2.0-micron Whatman GF/C filter Lab Measurement Dish + Residue after evaporation 4. Weight 54.2830g 54.2170g 1.5240g 1.6948g 1. The lab placed a sample in an evaporation dish and evaporated it at 105°C finding that the dish weighted 54.3490 g after the dish cooled. What is the concentration (mg/L) of the Total Solids (TS) in the influent?(Ans: TS = 733.3 mg/L) 54.349g 2. If you anticipate a Total Suspended Solids mass loading of 48,400 lb/day at this flow rate, what is the concentration of TSS you anticipate in the influent? What does the analytical scale read? 3. The lab then filtered a sample through a 2-micron filter and evaporated the filter at 105°C, what was the mass of the residue found on the filter paper after it…

Q\Determination of liquid levels in industrial strong tanks using police radar?
Estimate the mass of solids removed during each hourly period. Assume 100% removal of particles in the treatment plant.
A solids removal system is to be designed to remove particles from a water stream. It has been determined that all particles larger than 0.7 mm in diameter must be removed. If the particle density is 999 kg/m’, determine the appropriate overflow rate.
Please make a diagram for this problem. Thank you A settling tank is used to remove suspended solids from wastewater. The rate of flow of wastewater into the tank is 10 liters/sec and the influent concentration of suspended solids (SS) is 200 mg/L. The removal efficiency of the settling tank for SS is 70%.
