The hardness of a ground water sample was found to be 420 mg/L as CaCO3. A softener containing ion exchange resins was installed to reduce the total hardness to 75 mg/L as CaCO3 before supplying to 4 households. Each household gets treated water at a rate of 540 L/day. If the efficiency of the softener is 100%, the bypass flow rate (expressed in L/day) is_

A wastewater treatment plant has been operating with the following specifications:flow rate = 7,630 m3/d, aeration tank volume = 1,270 m3, mixed liquor volatile suspendedsolids = 2,600 mg/l. The soluble BOD in the plant influent used to be 133 mg/l, but hasrecently changed to 222 mg/l. What is the new MLVSS this plant should use to maintain thesame F/M ratio as before? (Ans. Xnew = 4,340 mg MLVSS/l)

Working for the local wastewater treatment plant, you are asked by the labtechnician to help her set up BOD5 tests. The issue here is what dilution to use to get the BOD5 test to give an acceptable result. Of course, you do not know the actual BOD5 value, but you are able to determine from past tests that the total ultimate BOD (NBOD + L0) of the wastewater is546 mg/L and the organic Nitrogen (TKN) concentration of the wastewater is 32 mg N/L. You also know that the first order rate constant for the BOD test is 0.25 day-1. When you ask, the technician tells you that the normal DO concentration at the start of the test is 8.3 mg/L.Based on all this information, tell the lab technician which of the following wastewater sample volumes added to a standard BOD test bottle (300 mL) is going to produce an acceptable final result: 1 mL/3 mL/9 mL/30 mL/90 mL NOTE: Acceptable BOD test should comply with the two essential criteria: DOfinal ≥ 2 mg/L and DOinitial – DOfinal ≥ 2 mg/L.
A wastewater treatment plant receives 250 mg/L BOD, 45 mg/L NO3-N, and 0.08% TSS. What is the loading of each component (lb/d) if the plant flow is 730,000 gpd?

Q 01 a) How will you reduce the turbidity value of a waste water sample by a reagent? Elaborate the process with example. (Assume the data)
What is turbidity, what causes it, how is it treated why it is undesirable in drinking water. Describe processes in water treatment? Calculate the velocity gradient in a rapid mixer (coagulation), where the power input to the propeller is 0.5 kW, the plant provides water for 13000 people with average consumption of 130 L/person/day, retention time in rapid mixer is 23 s and water temperature is 20 oC. The dynamic viscosity at 20oC is 1x10-3 Pa/s. Debate the G value and if out of the range what steps to take bring G in the correct range
A tank contains 1,500 L of water and 20 kg of dissolved salt. Fresh water is enteringthe tank at 15 L/min (the solution stays perfectly mixed), and the solution drains at a rateof 10 L/min. How much salt is in the tank at t minutes and at 10 minutes?
A cyclone is designed to collect dusts. Increasing gas flow rate at the inlet can increase the efficiency without changing the cyclone. How much must the flowrate increase in volume flow if the critical particle diameter is reduced to half?
