A treatment plant has been designed to achieve 99 percent inactivation of Giardia Lamblia using chlorine dioxide. The engineer used data on the disinfection of Giardia Lamblia at 20°C for the design, but the plant operates in a northern climate, and current estimates are that the low water temperature in some winters will be 0.5°C. Estimate the expansion required in the contact chamber in order to achieve the same inactivation at that temperature. You may assume complete mixing in the contact chamber and that the inactivation of Giardia Lamblia follows the Chick-Watson relationship.

A Pump & Treat water treatment system at a contaminated site is designed to treat 5 m3/d of ground water in a reactor designed as a well mixed system. The effluent must meet quality standards of 25 mg/L of Iron. The treatment reactor’s 20 m3 volume is believed to be insufficient to achieve the standard. The ground water has an iron concentration of 100 mg/L and the treatment reactor has a kinetic constant of 0.5 d-1. – Confirm that the treatment system will NOT meet the effluent quality standards. – If not modify the design by adding a PFR system (using same treatment process and kinetics), what volume should the PFR addition be?
