Which of the following statements related to fracking (hydraulic fracturing) is correct? A. The fracking process does not increase the efficiency and well productivity. B. The fracking process uses very little liquid, and only uses sand. C. The most commonly used liquid for fracking is water with a number of chemicals added that are toxic or cancerogenic. D. If the fracking liquid is returned to the surface, it is already purified by the soil and does not need further treatment. E. Fracking for natural gas is considered a sustainable energy technology due to its high efficiency.

2. 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. The goal is to reduce the oxygen requirement. You have been called in as an expert to give a qualitative assessment of this plan. a. Will the oxygen requirement actually be reduced? b. 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. First, filamentous bacteria have different growth curves than floc-forming bacteria as shown in the figure below. Second, filamentous bacteria use only oxygen as an electron acceptor and cannot use nitrate for that function; floc-forming…
