The town of Smelly, AL has a wastewater flow rate of 15,000 gpm which is to be disposed of using a nearby sand bed waste disposal site. The sand bed has a depth of 3 fth and a permeability of 1.2 darcy. If the waste water level above the sand is limited to one foot, determine the area of sand bed required for a water viscosity of .9 cP. Give your answer in acres.

Discuss the reuse potential of the collected sludge
Briefly explain the basics of how an activated sludge process removes soluble BOD from the wastewater. Be sure to include removal percentages and the importance of the return activated sludge.
Solid removal efficiency in a primary settling tank has been measured as %30 which is very low value. Jar tests showed that if 120 mg/L FeCl 3 is added into the wastewater, the solid removal efficiency will be around 75%. Using the data presented below, compute the total amount of sludge produced daily in the primary settling tank in terms of mass and volume. Wastewater flow rate: 8.000 m3 /dayTotal solid concentration: 300 mg/LSolid content of sludge: 4 %Specific gravity of sludge: 1,02 Molecular Weights (g/mole);Ca:40 – C:12 – O:16 – H:1 – S:32– Al:27 – Fe:56 - Cl:35,5 – P:31
