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.

3. A hard drive manufacturer uses Nickel to plate its disks and then polishes them, resulting in a concentration of 50 mg/l in their 50,000 gallons per day wastewater stream. Their industrial permit standard for Ni discharge into the sewer system and treatment plant is limited to 0.2 Ibs./day.

In 2008, the total solid waste (SW) produced in US is 249.61 million tons (note: metric ton). The SW may be divided into 11 sorts, as shown below. For any particular SW type, Column 1 represents the fraction of the SW type in the total SW, Column 2 shows how many percent of the type of SW was recycled/recovered, Column 3 represents how many percent of the type of SW was combusted, and Column 4 shows the density of the type of SW. The volume of waste residue after combustion was negligible. 1) Usually, SW was compacted by some special equipment before landfilling. Also, because of the gravity from the other SW and cover material that was located above, the SW in a landfill was compressed, more or less. As a result, the volume of SW was decreased. Different sorts of SW exhibit different volume reduction behaviors. Column 5 is compact ratio, indicating the volume reduction. Compaction ratio = Volume before compaction/Volume after compaction. Please compute total volume and the average…
