Chapter 21.9, Problem 1MQ
Summary Introduction
Drinking water should be free of any impurities, organic and inorganic matter, odor and microorganisms. Treatment steps which are followed in drinking water treatment plant from inlet to final distribution point are sedimentation, coagulation, filtration, and disinfection.

The biomass viability (i.e., v = Xa/Xv) was measured using the oxygen uptake rate (OUR) technique and found equal to 0.926. An aliquot of mixed liquor was placed in a small reactor, aerated without any exogenous substrate addition (i.e., starvation conditions) and it's OUR was measured over time resulting in the following data: 0 1 2 3 4 5 Time (days) OUR (mg 02/L-min) 0.3 0.274 0.243| 0.222 0.203 0.182 6 8 10 0.165 0.135 0.110 By use of the above data, the microorganism decay coefficient (b, day can be estimated if you assume that a constant relationship exists between Xa and OUR,…arrow_forwardSurface and Sub-surface drip lines apply the water only where it is used and therefore weeds are much less of a problem.
