How many gallons of 12-percent sodium hypochlorite solution are needed to disinfect a reservoir 20 feet in diameter and 6 feet deep? An initial chlorine dose of 80 milligrams per liter (mg/L) is expected to maintain a chlorine residual of over 50 mg during the 24-hour disinfection period.
QUESTION 2 Supposing you were part of the students who visited Barekease water treatment plant for a practical session during the semester in Kumasi. During the session, you had face to face interaction with the Water Engineer in charge of the chemical treatment unit a.) Discuss four (4) key factors that affect the selection of a disinfectant ) Examine five factors that influence disinfection efficacy and microbial inactivation ) A dual media filter is composed of 0.30 m anthracite (mean particle size 0.20 mm) that is placed over a 0.60 m layer of sand (mean particle size 0.70 mm) with a filtration rate of 9.78 m/h. Assume the grains sphericity ф= 0.75and porosity (ε)=0.40. Determine the head loss in the clean filter?
As the consultant for designing STP, you proposed to use a completely-mix activated sludge system to treat sewage from a population of 45,000 PE. The sewage enters a primary clarifier with a BOD of 300 mg/L and SS of 360 mg/L. The primary clarifier removes 30% BOD and 60% SS. The aeration tank maintains a biomass concentration of about 3400 mg/L with a food to biomass ratio of 0.3 kg BOD5 per kg MLSS per day. The effluent BOD from the aeration tank is 16 mg/L. From a pilot plant study, the Y and kd values are 0.5 kg/kg and 0.06 per day respectively. Assume theunderflow concentration from the secondary clarifier of 9700 mg/L. Based on the above information, determine: i. The concentration of BOD and SS in the effluent of the primary clarifier ii. The volume of aeration iii. The mean cell residence time (MCRT). iv. The daily amount of biomass to be wasted.
Describe briefly the nature and operation of dissolved air flotation used in drinking water treatment. Use sketches where appropriate.
Disinfection, sedimentation, flocculation, coagulation, and filtration are processes for a surface water treatment facility. Place each process in a sequential order.
Wastewater that has a volumetric flow rate of 0.4 m3 /s and an ultimate BOD of 25.0 mg/L is flowing into a river that has a volumetric flow rate of 4.0 m3 /s and an ultimate BOD of 2.0 mg/L. The dissolved oxygen content for the wastewater and the river is 0.80 mg/L and 8.0 mg/L, respectively. What is the dissolved oxygen concentration just after mixing? If the temperature of the river is 17oC, what is the initial deficit?
Hey, can you help me answer this water treatment question with an explanation and with the formulas used for it? How many pounds of 65% granular calcium hypochlorite will be needed to super-chlorinate a filter to 50 mg/L? The filter is 40 feet long, 35 feet wide, and operates at 10 feet of water depth. I will really upvote. Thanks
