- A new analytical method to detect pollutants (D) in water is being tested. This new method of chemical analysis is important because, if adopted, it could be used to detect three different contaminants-organic pollutants (O), volatile solvents (V), and chlorinated compounds (C)-instead of having to use a single test for each pollutant. The makers of the test claim that it can detect high levels of organic pollutants with 99.7% accuracy, volatile solvents with 99.95% accuracy, and chlorinated components with 89.7% accuracy. If a pollutant is not present, the test does not signal. Samples are prepared for the calibration of the test and 60% of them are contaminated with organic pollutants, 27% with volatile solvents, and 13% with traces of chlorinated compounds. A test sample is selected randomly. (a) What is the probability that the test will signal? (b) If the test signals, what is the probability that chlorinated compounds are present? Note: Use the notations in the brackets to…Thermohaline circulation refers to a network of currents driven by density changes caused by temperature and salinity differences. A. TRUE B. FALSE2. The operations staff at a sewage treatment plant has decided to reduce the SRT of their activated sludge process from 6 days to 3 days by increasing the recycle rate.

Will the MLVSS increase, decrease or stay about the same? c. Will the sludge settling characteristics improve, stay about the same, or worsen? d. Will the effluent BOD concentration increase, decrease, or stay about the same? 3. Filamentous bacteria that cause sludge foaming in activated sludge treatment systems differ from the desirable floc-forming bacteria in several aspects of their metabolism.
