Question
A light manufacturing facility produces 125,000 gallons per week of sanitary sewage and uncontaminated wash water which are discharged to a municipal sewer system. A small parts rinsing operation flushes about 12 ounces per week of trichloroethylene down the sink. Does the facility have to manage their wastewater as hazardous waste (see 40 CFR 261.3)?

- Disinfection by-products: why are they a problem, how are they formed, and how does a conventional filtration plant minimize their formation?arrow_forwardA waste-holding lagoon situated near the main plant of a chemicalcompany receives sludge on a daily basis. When the lagoon is full, it is necessary toremove the sludge to a site located 4.95 kilometers from the main plant. Currently,when the lagoon is full, the sludge is removed by pumping it into a tank truck andhauling it away. This process requires the use of a portable pump that has an initialcost of $800 and an 8-year life. The company can operate the pump at a cost of $25per day, but the truck and driver cost $110 per day.Alternatively, the company has a proposal to install a pump and pipeline to theremote site. The pump would have an initial cost of $600, a life of 10 years, and acost of $3 per day to operate. (a) If the MARR is 15% per year and the pipeline willcost $3.52 per meter to construct, how many days per year must the lagoon requirepumping to justify construction of the pipeline? (b) The lagoon was pumped40 times last year. Which alternative would have been cheaper?…arrow_forwardTrickling filter is a fixed-bed biological reactor that operates under aerobic conditions. It is used to remove organic matter from wastewater. It is required to design a trickling filter for the following conditions as given in Table Q4.

- The wastewater from a synthetic textile manufacturing plant is discharged to a municipal treatment plant for processing with domestic wastewater. The characteristics of the synthetic textile wastewater are 1500 mg/L BOD, 2000 mg/L SS, 30 mg/L nitrogen, and no phosphorus. The characteristics of the domestic wastewater are 200 mg/L BOD, 240 mg/L SS, 35 mg/L nitrogen, and 7 mg/L phosphorus. Find the BOD, SS of the mixture. The ratio of flow rate is domestic/textile = 4/1arrow_forwardSouthide Water Treatment Plant of Tyler, TX What are the general characteristics of the waste water entering the plant?arrow_forwardWell, that design isn’t going to work, either. I think about the only thing I can do is to try tochange the concentration of the stream that is leaving Earle Hall. I need my recycle stream tocontain 99% of the acetone that leaves Earle, and have a mass% of acetone of 95% (or else Ican’t reuse it), and I need the stream that is sent to the city’s sewer to have 1 mass% acetone.What is the mass% of acetone in the stream leaving Earle that makes this possible? Assume thatthe stream leaving Earle Hall is still 250,000 lbm every dayarrow_forward
- Can I get a thorough step by step for the following question? The US EPA requires hazardous waste incinerators to meet a standard of 99.99% destruction and removal of organic hazardous constituents injected into the incinerator, which is referred to as "four nines DRE". The efficiency is calculated by measuring the mass flow rate of organic constituents entering the incinerator and the mass flow rate of constituents exiting the incinerator stack, as shown in Figure 1. Draw a mass-balance diagram and determine the allowable quantity of contaminant in the exit stream if the incinerator is burning 1.2000 g/s of hazardous constituents. If the incinerator is 96% efficient in destroying the hazardous constituents, what scrubber efficiency is necessary to meet the EPA standard?arrow_forwardquestion belowarrow_forwardCan you please solve step by step I can't seem to understand it.arrow_forward
