The local population is worried about their exposure to SO2 from Factory A mentioned in the previous question. EPA has determined a safe household exposure limit of 75 ppb, based on a 3-year average of 99th percentile of the yearly distribution of 1-hour daily maximum concentrations of SO2 in air. Assuming a 4 times dilution for every 100 ft traveled by the gas, what is the allowed average daily concentration of SO2 right next to Factory A? Factory A is located 1,000 ft away from the closest houses. O 79 ppm, O 3.0 ppby O 0.3 ppby 0.75 ppm,

A wastewater treatment plant is operated at a steady state DO concentration of 1.5 mg/L. If the temperature of the wastewater is measured at 10 °C, a= 0.8 and B = 0.95 and the KLa reported by the aerator manufacturer at 20°C in tap water is 5 hrt, estimate the oxygen uptake rate (in mg/L-min) in the aeration basin. You can assume 0=1.024. If the aerator's oxygen transfer efficiency is 24%, what would be the mass of air (kg) required per hour in a 8500 m³ tank? What volumetric flow rate would you have to supply (m³/hr)? 3.

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?

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.
Question - There is a small spill of a toxic material on a paved surface of a chemical plant. This spill has width 0.8 ft and a length of 2.5 ft. The wind is a 10 miles per hour in the direction parallel to the length of the spill. Estimate the rate of evaporation in grams per hour. There is no toxin in the air at time 0 and at infinite distance from the spill. Assume air to behave as an ideal gas. Assume the toxic material can be considered an ideal solution with psat = 22 mmHg. MWtoxin = 164.4 g/mol, Ptoxin =1.69 g/cm³, Pair = .001225 g/cm³, Hair= 0.0187 CP, MWair = 28.9 g/mol, Dtoxin,air = 0.0888 cm²/s.
As an operator of a wastewater treatment facility, you have learned that your plant runs well at an SRT (based on MLVSS (X) in the aeration basin) of 12 days. If today’s MLVSS (X) concentration is 2,700 mg/L and the RAS (Xr) concentration is 5,500 mg/L, how many L of sludge should you waste from the secondary clarifier today? Other design conditions: Average influent flow = 12,000 m3/d Influent soluble BOD = 150 mg/L Required effluent TSS = 30 mg/L Aeration tank Volume = 1,000 m3
