Transcribed Image Text:Problem: You are designing a 20 mgd wastewater treatment plant. To characterize the
plant's influent solids, the lab used 90 ml samples of the ty[ical wastewater
and the following equipment:
Solids:
Lab Equipment
Evaporation Dish
Gooch crucible
2.0-micron paper filter
2.0-micron Whatman GF/C filter
Lab Measurement
Dish + Residue after evaporation
4.
Weight
54.2830g
54.2170g
1.5240g
1.6948g
1. The lab placed a sample in an evaporation dish and evaporated it at 105°C
finding that the dish weighted 54.3490 g after the dish cooled. What is the
concentration (mg/L) of the Total Solids (TS) in the influent?(Ans: TS = 733.3 mg/L)
54.349g
2. If you anticipate a Total Suspended Solids mass loading of 48,400 lb/day at this
flow rate, what is the concentration of TSS you anticipate in the influent?
What does the analytical scale read?
3. The lab then filtered a sample through a 2-micron filter and evaporated the filter
at 105°C, what was the mass of the residue found on the filter paper after it
cooled?
(Ans: 0.0261 g)
(Ans: 1.550 g)
5. What is the concentration of the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) in the influent?
(Ans: TDS = 443.3 mg/l)

Transcribed Image Text:6. After igniting a sample that was filtered through a 2-micron Whatman GF/C filter
in an oven at 550°C, the cooled Gooch crucible + filter + residue weighed
55.9183 g. What is the mass (grams) of the Total Fixed Suspended Solids (TFSS)
on the filter?
(Ans: 0.0065 g)
