Principles of Seepage

In hydrology, when water flows down in a pore or crack of unsaturated soil due to gravity, the deep layer of soil is called seepage. It is the slow movement of water in the soil layer. Seepage is mainly found near hydraulic structures and is responsible for the stability of earthen-type hydraulic structures.

A trickling filter plant treats 1500 m³/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 at 0.5 kg per kg of the applied BOD.

As the project engineer for your consulting firm, you are in charge of designing a flocculation tank to treat municipal drinking water. The design flow for the plant is 0.050 m3/s. The average water temperature is 10oC. The following design assumptions for the flocculation basin have been made:Number of tanks = 1Number of compartments in tank: 3Tapered G in 3 compartments: 60, 50, and 20 s-1Detention time = 30 min for entire flocculation basinDepth = 3 mTanks will have a square compartment plan (overhead) view1 Horizontal shaft paddle wheel per axis will be usedPaddle wheels will have 4 arms and 2 blades/armPaddle blades are 3 m long by 0.6 m wide. Assume blade spacing (diameter) of 1 and 2 m. Design the flocculation tank by providing the following for the first two compartments only:a) Tank and compartment dimensions in mb) Water power input in kWc) Rotational speed of the paddle wheel shaft in rpm

1. It is estimated that the BOD of raw sewage received at a treatment plant serving a population of 20,000 will be 300 mg/L. It is estimated that the per capita BOD loading is 0.17 lbm/day. 30% of influent BOD is removed by settling. One single-stage high-rate trickling filter is to be used to reduce the plant effluent to 50 mg/L. Recirculation is from the filter effluent to the primary settling influent. Ten States' Standards is in effect, which specifies 100 gpcd in the absence of other information. (1) What is the design flow rate?
