Why does methane capturing is an important part of POME treatment? ABSTRACTPalm oil mill effluent (POME) is a wastewater generated from palm oil millingactivities which requires effective treatment before discharge into watercourses dueto its highly polluting properties. The characterization of wastewater is the essentialstep in the design of any wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) in the industry asconducting pilot-scale tests to obtain design and operating parameters is time-consuming and expensive. Characterization of POME had been conducted in variousstudies which only involve parameters that were listed as discharge standards by localenvironmental authorities and those that were significant to the results of the chosentreatment methods. An overall characteristic of POME obtained from this studyindicated that the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) concentration in POME was49000 mg/L; chemical oxygen demand (COD) was 79000 mg/; total volatile solids(TVS) concentration was 42600 mg/L; and COD:N:P ratio of POME was 250:2.9:3.2.The POME characteristic obtained in this study indicated that POME treatmentusing anaerobic systems was a viable option due to the high biodegradability of thePOME and the versatility of high-rate anaerobic bioreactors to cope the variation andfluctuation of POME characteristics. Furthermore, the introduction of the cleandevelopment mechanism (CDM) encourages the utilization of high-rate anaerobicbioreactors for POME treatment and methane capture to earn certified emissionreduction (CER) credits as a source of revenue.

In a metered-dose inhaler (MDI), such as those used for asthma medication, medicine isdelivered by a compressed-gas propellant. (The device is similar in concept to a can of spraypaint.) When the inhaler is activated, a fixed amount of the medicine suspended in thepropellant is expelled from the mouthpiece and inhaled. In the past, chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs) were used as propellants; however, because of their reactivity with the Earth's ozonelayer, they have been replaced by hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which do not react withozone. Now HFC use is also being reduced due to their high global warming potential. In one brand of inhalers, the original CFC propellant was replaced by HFC 227ea (C3HF7,heptafluoropropane). The volume of the inhaler propellant reservoir is 1.00×102 mL, and thepropellant is charged into the reservoir to a gauge pressure of 4.443 atm at 23°C. An onlinesearch for properties of HFC 227ea yields the information that the critical temperature andpressure of the substance…
A given soil sample is subjected for proximate analysis - specifically moisture content and analysis of inorganic matter (or ash) content. A cleaned and tared crucible is weighed in an analytical balance and found to be 4.5015 grams . The soil sample is weighed-in and the crucible, together with the plant sample, measured a total of 6.2525 grams. The set-up is then placed in an oven and dried to 105 degrees Celsius for at least two hours. The setup is cooled to room temperature in a dessicator and then measured to a constant weight of 5.9775 grams. Afterwards, the setup is placed inside the muffle furnace and ignited to 720 degrees Celsius for at least an hour. The set-up is cooled to room temperature again inside the dessicator and then measured to the constant weight of 4.9375 grams. (A) What is the percent moisture in the plant sample? Write the answer in THREE SIGNIFICANT FIGURES. (B) What is the percent volatile (organic) matter in the plant sample? Express answer in THREE…
A 120. MW coal plant wants to add a SOXemissions control system to reduce its emissions. The emission control system has a capitalcost of $815 per kW and reduces SOX emissions by 98% to 0.0918 kg/MWh. Assume thelifetime of the emission control system is 20 years and the power plant produces 650GWh/y. a)What is the annualized cost of this system in dollars per year if the discount rate (interestrate) is 7.0 percent/year? What if the discount rate is 4.0 percent/year? b)What is the cost per 1.0399 x 104 kWh of electricity usage (the average annual U.S.residential electricity consumption in 2017 according to the EIA) at each of the discountrates specified in part a? c)What is the cost per metric ton of SOx removed at each of the discount rates specified inpart a?
A circular lake of diameter 2.5m is receiving wastewater with a flow rate of 25 L/sec from a village has phosphorus concentration of 0.5 mg/L. The lake receives Phosphorus point source concentration of 0.8 g/sec. If the wastewater is completely mixed in the pond and removes phosphorus with a removal rate of 12 m/year, find the concentration of phosphorus (mg/L) in effluent water stream? Assume steady state. (Round-off to one decimal place).
Regarding sewage quality parameters with regard to physical and chemical characteristics, mark V for True or F for False: ( ) Turbidity is caused by the abundance of suspended solids in the water, the fresher and more concentrated the sewage, the greater its turbidity. ( ) Phenols present in sewage are inorganic compounds derived from domestic effluents, and despite being organic matter, they do not cause any change in water quality. ( ) Sewage, both fresh and old, derived from both domestic and industrial activities, is always gray or black in color. ( ) Household effluents have a BOD of around 300 mg/L, which means that 1 liter of sewage consumes about 300 milligrams of oxygen in 7 days. ( ) Phosphorus is a component that can be present in sewage in both organic and inorganic form. In large quantities, the compound causes the exaggerated growth of algae in the medium, which can cause the death of local aquatic life, this phenomenon is called eutrophication.
Electrolytic manganese dioxide can be prepared from manganese carbonate ore by crushing,milling and leaching the ore in sulphuric acid. Manganese sulphate is crystallised from thesolution, redissolved and electrolysed to give the manganese dioxide.If the crystallisation were performed in a 30m3 tank and the concentration of the solutionentering the tank were 160 grams per litre and left the tank at 40 grams per litre, how muchMnSO4.5H2O would be produced.
In a river with a constant flow rate, the factory releases wastewater containing NaCl at a concentration of 200 mmol / L to the river at 20.0 L / s.

Grammer Chicken produces canned chicken a la king. The chicken a la king passes through three departments: (1) Mixing, (2) Retort (sterilization), and (3) Packing. In the Mixing Department, chicken and cream are added at the beginning of the process, the mixture is partly cooked, and chopped green peppers and mushrooms are added at the end of the process. Conversion costs are incurred evenly throughout the mixing process. November data from the Mixing Department as follows: 1 Summarize the flow of physical units and compute the equivalent units. (Hint: Each direct material added at a different point in the production process requires its own equivalent-unit computation.) i. Check your spelling carefully and do not abbreviate. ii. Follow the format of the exhibit that shows the flow of physical units and output in terms of equivalent units. iii. Complete all input areas. Be sure to include any zero balances in the report. 2 Compute the cost per equivalent unit for…
