Landfills

The landfill is a site used for the disposal of waste materials. The landfill is a solid waste facility that is often known as a dumping ground. The image below shows a landfill site in Hawaii. Landfilling is the most ancient and common method used for the disposal of waste. For the landfill, a deep trench is constructed in an isolated place away from the city. The trench for landfills is designed properly after analyzing the total population and the waste generation per capita. The waste is dumped into the trench and after every layer of waste, a layer of soil is spread on the top of it.

Please answer 4 and 5 Consider the design of granular media filters for a water treatment plant with a design flow of 40 MGD. For a filtration hydraulic loading of 5 gpm/ft2 determine the total filter area required for filtration (in square ft). Next, select the number of parallel filters needed, and their length and width (even foot increments), if each filter is square with area of 400 square feet. You choose a filter consisting of 36 inches of sand with an ES of 0.55 mm. The porosity is 0.4. Determine the superficial filtration velocity and the pore velocities in the sand layer. Calculate the detention time (in minutes) through the entire depth of the filter Calculate the clean bed head loss (in feet) for the filter using the Carmen-Kozeny equation. Assume a water temperature of 68 ºF and the design hydraulic loading rate. Use the media effective size for media diameter in the calculation. Estimate the filtration efficiency for a particle that is 4 microns in diameter.
