Collection Systems

The collection systems form a part of sanitary engineering, which is a sub-branch of civil engineering. It is also known as public health engineering and wastewater engineering. It is a methodology followed to remove and properly dispose of human waste, along with creating systems to provide safe and clean usable water. These measures ensure a hygienic and disease-free community. Sanitary engineering, apart from building sewer disposal units, is also involved in plumbing, fire protection, hydraulics, life safety, environmental protection, information technology, microbiology, pathology, and so on.

Question

7) Suppose a crew of two people requires 3 minutes per stop, at which they can service four
customers. If each customer generates 50 lb of refuse per week, how many customers can

Assume it cost an average of $0.03/ton.min to haul waste from collection to transfer station and then from the transfer station to landfill using a transfer vehicle and the operation cost of the transfer station is $2/ton. The cost of hauling waste directly from the collection point to landfill is $0.1/ton.min. The speed limit of any type of vehicle carrying waste between the collection point, the transfer station, and the landfill is 40 miles/hr. At/above what distance (miles) is using a transfer station more economical? Round your answer to the nearest whole number. Show your work.
Household hazardous wastes are often found in a sanitary landfill in Malaysia. Explain a proper plan on how to stop this issue from being aggravated.
The first decision to be made is how the solid waste container will get from the residence to the collection vehicle. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods of collection truck routing. i. Daily route method ii. Single load method
From the following date, estimate the unit waste disposal rate per week for a residentialarea consisting of 1200 homes. The average occupancy is 4 persons per home. Theobservation location is a local transfer station that receives all of the wastes collected fordisposal. The observation period was one week.Data:Number of compactor truck loads = 10Average size of compactor truck = 20 yd3Number of flatbed loads = 6Average flatbed volume = 3 yd3Number of loads from individual residents’ private cars and trucks = 20 Estimatedaverage volume per domestic vehicle = 9 ft3
A municipal solid-waste site for a city must be located at Site A or Site B. After sorting, some of the solid refuse will be transported to an electric power plant where it will be used as fuel. Data for the hauling of refuse from each site to the power plant are shown in the following table: Site A Site B Average hauling distance 4.8 km 6.4 km Annual rental fee $40,000 for solid-waste $25,000 site Hauling cost $2/m²-km $2/m²-km If the power plant will pay $8.00 per cubic meter of sorted solid waste delivered to the plant, where should the solid-waste site be located? Use the city's viewpoint and assume 120,000 cubic meters of refuse will be hauled to the plant for one year only. One site must be selected.
