Concept explainers

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.

Provide a Case Analysis for: Landfill: Is this the Engineering Solution for Solid Waste Management? May it be local or international.
A landfill with capacity of 26,220 yd and a maximum height of 20 feet, serves a population of 80,000 persons with a waste generation rate of 4.1 lb/capita/day. If the average final specific weight of the waste placed in the landfill is 1200 lb/yd, estimate the amount as delivered waste (expressed in yd') with an average density of 500 lb/yd', that can be placed in the landfill assuming that 30 % of the original waste will be lost through production of landfill gas
How many cubic yard of solid waste can be placed on a regulation soccer field (200 ft × 300 ft) subject to the following constraints and conditions? Slope of all landfill faces = 3 to 1 Covered material will be excavated from the site Neglect cover material requirements Lift height = 10 ft Maximum height of landfill = 20 ft Waste generation rate = 4.1 lb/capita day Community population = 80,000 How many soccer fields would be required per year to dispose of the waste from the community, assuming the in-place specific weight of the waste is 1,000 lb/yd3?
A city generates waste at a rate of 7400,000 kg/day. The density of the compacted waste is 380 kg/m3. How large should they build a landfill to contain a decade's worth of waste if the ratio of cover to compacted fill will be 1.5? Give your answer in m3
A town with 2,350 residents wants to establish a municipality owned and operated solid waste collection program. They can purchase one of three possible trucks that have the ff. characteristics: Truck A, 18 m^3 capacity Truck B, 15 m^3 capacity Truck C, 12 m^3 capacity If the truck is to collect the refuse for one-fifth of the town each day during a 5-day work week, then every residence will be collected during the week, and the truck will have to make only one trip per day to the landfill. Which truck or trucks will have sufficient capacity. Assume a rate of 1.75 kg/capita/d. Assume that the truck is able to compact the refuse to 350 kg/ m^3 What is the total tonnage of solid waste to be collected/wk? What is the total weight of waste to be collected everyday? What is the required truck capacity in cubic meters? Which truck should be bought?
Do you think that the storage in sanitary landfills is the best way of disposing our solid wastes? Explore this question scientifically, geopolitically, and practically. Do we have better options to replace that technology?
Assuming waste not recovered all goes to landfills. Determine the total landfill capacity consumed national wide each year. The specific weights of waste at landfill are as follows. Convert your answer to # of football stadiums filled. Area of football stadium = 1.75 x size of a standard football field Depth of filling = 30 ft Waste category Specific weight (kg/m³) Aluminum 2470 Steel and other metals 7100 Glass 2300 Paper and cardboard 570 Wood 450 All others ~700
The rate of percolation into a 12-m deep landfill is 248 mm/y. The refuse (i.e., waste) field capacity is 305 mm/m and the moisture content of the refuse is 180 mm/m. Calculate how many years it will take for the moisture front to move through the landfill and produce leachate. Round your answer to one term past the decimal point.
Example 10.5 Find the amount of land required in a sanitary landfill to dispose of urban waste of city of 40000 in population, knowing that Amount of waste generation = 2.0 kg/capita/d Refuse is filled into a depth of about 3 m. The landfill site is to be used for 10 years 25% should be added as area necessary for construction facilities Based on 1000 kg sample of waste component Food waste Paper Cardboard Plastics Textile Rubber Leather Garden trimming Wood Glass Tin cans Non-ferrous metals Ferrous metals Dirt, ashes, brick, etc. Typical composition% 15 40 4 3 2 0.5 0.5 12 2 8 6 1 2 Density kg/m3 18.0 5.1 3.1 4 4 8 10 6.5 15.0 12.1 5.5 10.0 20 30
In a suburban area of a city, the total time dedicated to waste collection is, on average, 100 times greater than the combined average time it takes for each stop's collection and the time it takes to reach the next stop. If a waste collection truck has a compaction ratio of 2 and can transport a maximum of 8 (m3) of compacted solid waste per trip, what is the truck's average load volume for each collection in (L)?\
Suppose a city of 50,000 people generates 40,000 tons of MSW per year. At current recovery and recycling rates, 22 percent of that is recovered or recycled and the rest goes to a landfill. Suppose also that the landfill density is 1,000 lb/yd^3, cell depth is 10 ft, and 80 percent of the cell is MSW.(a) What lift area would be required per year?(b) If the current landfill site covers 50 acres, including 10 acres needed for access roads and auxiliary facilities, and two more lifts are envisioned, how long would it take to complete this landfill?
Landfills are dynamic systems, with several design components. Using no more than three sentences explain why some types of waste are more suitable for final disposal through landfills than other kinds of waste. Very briefly outline the impact of poorly designed landfills on water quality.
