plz, answer this question. Environmental Engineering-2 1. Heavy metals are usually added to wastewater from commercial and industrial activities. What need to be done before discharging such waste water into the waste water treatment process?
A city wishes to discharge wastewater primary effluent to a river which supports a trout. The state requires the city to show that the trout population is protected. Trout require a minimum of 4 mg/l of dissolved oxygen to survive. Determine the minimum downstream dissolved oxygen concentration from the following information about the wastewater discharge and river. Does the minimum dissolved oxygen concentration meet the requirements? Wastewater discharge=0.45m3/s, river flow rate= 8.5 m3/s, river cross-sectional area=19m2, dissolved Oxygen concentration in the wastewater= 0.2mg/l, dissolved oxygen content of the river upstream = 8.1mg/l, saturation dissolved oxygen concentration at 20 C= 9.0 mg/l, BOD concentration in wastewater = 85 mg/l, BOD concentration upstream in the river= 0.2 mg/l, BOD decay constant = 0.2 d-1, and the reaeration constant for the river= 0.4 d-1.
A company is currently discharging 200 L/min of 100 mg/L contaminant into a river. The river flowing past the company has an upstream flow rate of 3800 L/min with 0 mg/L of the target contaminant. The company must reduce its effluent concentration to below 20 mg/L (a) what is the current contaminant concentration past the point of discharge? (b) How much clean water would be needed to dilute the contaminant stream to 20 mg/L.? (c) What would be the contaminant concentration past the point of discharge if the company's contaminant stream was diluted with the water in part b?
QUESTION 4 There is a wide range of biological treatment systems for the purification of wastewater based on simple processes by which mixed populations of micro-organisms degrade organic material using it as a source of nutrients. As a Civil Engineer Examine various types of aerobic micro-organisms involved in the biological treatment process of wastewater Examine various types of anaerobic micro-organisms involved in biological treatment process of wastewater A filter has a head loss of 0.30 m when clean and 1.30 m after 24 hours of filtration at a rate of 1.5l/s. . Estimate the following if the filtration rate is changed to 2 l/s head loss immediately after backwash verify head loss 10 hours later

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.
