Concept explainers

Collection Systems

The collection systems form a part of sanitary engineering, which is a sub-branch of civil engineering. It is also known as public health engineering and wastewater engineering. It is a methodology followed to remove and properly dispose of human waste, along with creating systems to provide safe and clean usable water. These measures ensure a hygienic and disease-free community. Sanitary engineering, apart from building sewer disposal units, is also involved in plumbing, fire protection, hydraulics, life safety, environmental protection, information technology, microbiology, pathology, and so on.

A landfill receives 10000tons/day of waste. This receipt rate increases 10% per year. The landfill is closed at the end of the fourth year. Using the exponential model calculate the yearly gas production for 20 years after opening. What is the peak peak gas production in m3/yr.

1. A sanitary landfill has available space of 16.2 ha at an average depth of 10 m. Seven hundred sixty-five (765) cubic meters of solid waste are dumped at the site 5 days per week. This waste is compacted to twice its delivered density. Draw a mass balance diagram and estimate the expected life of the landfill in years.
The landfill volume required for dry solid waste generated by a food factory per year is 300 m3. After drying the wet solid waste from the factory X% of it is recycled, followed by 2.5X% diversion for composting and 400 m3 for incineration, before the remainder is sent to the landfill. Using the information given below: Density of dry solid waste = 460 kg/m3 Daily generation of wet solid waste = 2200 kg Moisture content of the wet solid waste = 32% (ii) Determine X% and estimate the dimensions of the landfill site if the length: width : depth = 6:5:4
Calculate the area required for a landfill having a projected life of 30 yrs with a 250 000 population providing 2.10 kg per capita per day of waste? Given the density if waste of 472 kg, where in the limitation is that the landfills height do not exceed at 16 m?
The landfill volume required for dry solid waste generated by a food factory per year is 400 m3. After drying the wet solid waste from the factory X% of it is recycled, followed by 2.5% diversion for composting and 500 m3 for incineration, before the remainder is sent to the landfill. Using the information given below: Density of dry solid waste = 425 kg/m3 Daily generation of wet solid waste = 1500 kg Moisture content of the wet solid waste = 38% Determine X% and estimate the dimensions of the landfill site if the length:width:depth = 5:4:7. QUESTION 2. Estimate the theoretical amount of slow decomposable solid waste (C20H29O9N) required to produce 65 m3of methane (CH4) using the equation below. Assume a 75% conversion and the density of methane is 0.7167 kg/m3. Use the equation below C20 H 29 O9 N + 9H20 = 11CH4 + 9H20 + NH3 C = 12, N = 14, H =1, O = 16 QUESTION 3. Briefly discuss factors that influence…
Problem 6-6 (assume the waste is fed to an anaerobic digester, not landfilled). Use the equation given attached. Find x (moles of CH4) for food and paper as well. Then based moles of methane (x), individually calculate methane generated for paper and food waste and then total it. Provide answers in tons.
The rate of percolation into a 12-m deep landfill is 248 mm/y. The refuse (i.e., waste) field capacity is 305 mm/m and the moisture content of the refuse is 180 mm/m. Calculate how many years it will take for the moisture front to move through the landfill and produce leachate. Round your answer to one term past the decimal point.
Can I get a thorough step by step for the following question? A sanitary landfill has available space 25 ha at an average depth 12 m. Nine hundred sixty-five (965) cubic meters of solid waste are dumped at the site each day for 5 days per week. This waste is compacted to twice its delivered density. Draw a mass-balance diagram and estimate the expected life of the landfill in years.
Estimate the theoretical production of landfill gas (CH4 only) from the degradation of 20.3 kg of rapidly decomposable MSW. Assume the density of methane is 0.7177 kg/m3. Note:Hand written solution should not be used.
(ii) The Kumasi landfill serves a population of 253,000. Each week 325 trucks bring a total of 2180 tonnes of MSW to the landfill. Each truck averages two loads per day. The trucks each has a capacity of 4.5 tonnes, and operate 5 days per week. (a) How much MSW is generated per person? Give your answer in kg.capta-1.day. (1 tonne = 1000kg). (b) What is the average load (in metric tonnes) in each truck when they at the landfill? At what capacity are the trucks operating? (c) If the density of the waste is 265kg.m-3, what is the volume of the MSW disposed of at the landfill each week?
(a) In the town of Abesim, it is determined that the per capita waste generation rate is 1.4 kg (3.1 lb) per person per day. The collection is conducted once per week by the municipality. If the density of MSW in a typical trash container is 150 kg/m3, how many 120 L (30 gal) containers would be needed for a family of four? (b) From (a), collection trucks have a capacity of 11.5 m3 (15 yd3), which can compact the waste to a density of 420 kg/m3. How many customers can a truck handle in a single run, before departing for the transfer station?
