Please give me both a and b solutions A settling tank with (L=6m, W=4 m , H= 4 m) treats a waste stream (60,000 l/min) and removes suspended solids with 200 micrometer diameter that have a settling velocity of 0.04 m/s. a. What is the removal efficiency of his tank? b. If a 100% removal efficiency is to be achieved, How long should the settling tank be?
A wastewater treatment plant will receive a flow of 30,000 m3/day. The plant has a 3.6 m deep circular primary clarifier with a surface overflow rate of 60.0 m3/m2-day.a. Calculate the surface area (m2), diameter (m), volume (m3), and hydraulic retention time of the primary clarifier.b. How long will it take a 1.0 mm particle with a density of 1500 kg/m3to settle in the primary clarifier? show all work
An oxidation pond having a surface area of 90 000 m2 is loaded with a waste flow of 500 m3/d containing 200 kg of BOD5. The pond has a depth of 1.2 m. Determine BOD5 loading rate (kg(Ha.d) Determine hydraulic retention time (d)
1. Given the following information calculate VSS inert concentration in the influent of the waste stream. Give: Q = 10,000 m^3/d BOD5 = 200 g/m^3 sBOD5 = 80 g/m^3 COD = 400 g/m^3 sCOD = 150 g COD/m^3 TSS = 100 g/m^3 VSS = 80 g/m^3
Sludge stabilization is an important step prior its disposal. Explain thestabilization process. Based on your understanding, justify if the stabilizationmethod provided sustainable.
2 A groundwater (Q1 = 5.0 L/s) reaches a point of convergence (mixing) in a river (Q = 1.0 m3/s) where an industrial wastewater discharge (Q2 = 10 L/s) also converges. /s). If the groundwater has ferrous iron with concentration [Fe2+] = 10.0 mg/L, the industrial wastewater has organic matter with concentration TOC = 50 mg/L, determine the COD of the river downstream of the mixing point.
Define the term “field capacity of solid waste”.
The discharge from the Renenutet sugar beet plant causes the DO at the critical point to fall to 4.0 mg/L. The Meskhenet Stream has a negligible BOD and the initial deficit after the river and wastewater have mixed is zero. What DO will result if the concentration of the waste(L_w) is reduced by 50%? Assume that the flows remain the same and that the saturation value of DO is 10.83 mg/L in both cases.
A sedimentation tank of dimensions 33m x 12m x 6m is filtering wastewater at a flow rate of 0.3 m3/s. The particles present in the wastewater have a density of 2.4 g/cm3 and the dynamic viscosity of water is 0.01 g/(cm.s). Calculate the removal efficiency of the tank for particle size of 25mm.
Discuss the relationship between removal efficiency and the cost of water treatment for the four stages with particular attention paid on tertiary and advanced treatment.
The quantity of sludge produced from an aeration tank is 2,453 kg/day. The volume of the aeration tank is 8,500 m3 and the yield is 0.55 mg VSS/mg BOD5. The water retention time is 1 day and the inlet BOD5 is 540 mg/L. Calculate the outlet BOD5 in the tank?
