As a public health engieer you have been tasked wiyh designing a plug flow reactor for the disinfection of Giardia lamblia using either free chlorine and monochloramine. The objective is a three log reduction in the concentration of Giardia lamblia. The kinetics of chlorine decay can be described by a first order coefficient of 0.1 d-1. It is also given that the appropriate contact time, t10, equals the hydrualic residence time (HRT or td) of the plug flow reactor. Question: At a temperature of 5oC and a pH of 7.0, what is the volume of the PFR if the flowrate of the water to be disinfected is 1000 L/d for chlorine and monochloramine Disinfection data in the table below can be used.
a. Let’s say for example that a milk sample has 10,000 bacteria per milliliters. If 1 mL of this sample were plated out, these would theoretically be 10,000 colonies in the Petri plate. Discuss and explain the serial dilutions of this example. b. The disk diffusion method was used to evaluate 3 disinfectants. The results were as follows: Solution Zone of inhibition X 0 mm Y 5 mm Z 10 mm How would you interpret? Provide inference.
DILUTION COLONY COUNT CFU/mL 1:106 155000 1:107 15500 1:108 1550 1:109 155 Given these values how would I fill in the rest of this serial dilution table? Also, what would be a 1:1 CFU/mL value based on this table?
An otic product was subjected to AET and tested with the challenge microorganisms. An initial concentration of 2 x 10^5 cfu/mL of Escherichia coli was computed. Compute for the log reduction from the initial calculated count if the cfu/mL obtained is 1.2 x 10^4 at 7 days.

Indicate whether you think that the number of cfu/ ml calculated would be too high or too low if you make this mistake. 1.You intend to add 9ml of broth (water) to each tube and 1 ml of culture. Instead, you add 5 ml of broth to each tube and 5 ml of culture to the first tube. Then, you make a serial dilution of 1 ml into and from each tube as described. 2. You prepare 9 ml of broth (water) in each tube. You add 1ml of culture of every tube. 3.You add 9 ml of broth (water) to each tube. You add 1 ml of culture to the first tube and mix. You get distracted, and transfer 1ml of the dilutant (mixture of culture and broth) to the third tube instead of the second. You perform the rest of the series as described.
Sweet sorghum juice is used as sole carbon source for ethanol production by Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The overall in situ sterilisation duration is 40 minutes at 120 0C for a pilot reactor (50 L) which is filled with 60% of working volume. The non-sterile medium consists of 3.28 x 106 contaminants L-1. During the autoclaving process, you have noticed that the time taken for heating and cooling are 18 minutes and 15 minutes, respectively. As a process engineer, explain if you agree with this sterilisation practice by using quantitative analysis.

N. benthamiana will be infiltrated with a solution containing OD600=0.3 of each experimental Agro containing construct and OD600=0.1 of p19. Calculate the volume of cultures (V construct; V p19) needed according to the formulas: V construct = V final × 0.3/OD600; V p19 = V final × 0.1/OD600. One mL of infiltrate is often enough to complete a small experiment. How to plan your final volume accordingly?
The phenol concentration of wastewater was determined from three (3) parallel determinations, giving a mean of 0.513 μg L-1 and a standard deviation of 0.05 μg L-1. Decide at a risk level of 5% (or a confidence level of 95%) whether a reference value of 0.520 μg L-1 is statistically different.
Hello, i'm having a hard time organzing the calculations when it comes to rate mL/h. I already solved this problem but I need your help to confirm if my calculations were correct. I would appreciate if you can add step by steps in order for me to understand it better, thank you! Order: Pulmocare 480 mg daily via PEG over 6 hours, followed by 50 mL sterile water flush. 1. The Pulmocare label states 100 mg/100 mL. At what rate in mL/h will you set the feeding pump to administer the Pulmocare? 2. Calculate the total amount of enteral fluid the patient will receive in 24h 3. How many milliliters of IV fluids is the patient receiving in 24h?
You have an order for 1 gram of Cefazolin in D5W 100 ml. You have added 5 ml of sterile water to the 1 gram vial to reconstitute powder. However the recommended manufacturer’s diluent amount is 10 ml of sterile water for a final concentration of 100 mg/ml. How would reconstituting the vial with 5 mls affect the concentration and the final calculated dose. Please answer with explanation ASAP. I will really upvote. Thanks
