Problem: You are designing a 20 mgd wastewater treatment plant. To characterize the plant's influent solids, the lab used 90 ml samples of the ty[ical wastewater and the following equipment: Solids: Lab Equipment Evaporation Dish Gooch crucible 2.0-micron paper filter 2.0-micron Whatman GF/C filter Lab Measurement Dish + Residue after evaporation 4. Weight 54.2830g 54.2170g 1.5240g 1.6948g 1. The lab placed a sample in an evaporation dish and evaporated it at 105°C finding that the dish weighted 54.3490 g after the dish cooled. What is the concentration (mg/L) of the Total Solids (TS) in the influent?(Ans: TS = 733.3 mg/L) 54.349g 2. If you anticipate a Total Suspended Solids mass loading of 48,400 lb/day at this flow rate, what is the concentration of TSS you anticipate in the influent? What does the analytical scale read? 3.

Liquid alum is delivered to a water treatment plant which contains 642.3 milligrams of alum per milliliter of liquid solution. Jar tests indicate that the best alum dose is 8 mg/L. Determine the setting on the liquid alum chemical feeder in milliliters per minute when the flow is 2.2 MGD.
Problem 4In water and wastewater treatment processes a filtration device may be used to remove water from the sludgeformed by a precipitation reaction. The initial concentration of sludge from a softening reaction is 20,000 mg/Land the volume of sludge is 100 m3. After filtration the sludge solids concentration is 350,000 mg/L. Assume thatthe sludge does not change density during filtration, and there is no accumulation of sludge in the filtrationdevice. Using the mass balance method, determine the volume of sludge after filtration.

Chemistry A sewage treatment plant discharges 4 ML/d of effluent with 20.17 mg/L BOD5 into a stream. The stream discharge is 12 ML/d, and its initial BOD5 is 6.10 mg/L. The initial DO of the wastewater is 2.10 mg/L and in the stream, it is 7.91 mg/L. Assume the stream velocity is 0.31 m/s and the dissolved oxygen saturation concentration is 8.76 mg/L. The kd = 0.15 d-1 and kr = 0.31 d-1 values have been adjusted for temperature. Calculate the minimum DO in the stream and determine the distance (km) downstream that this minimum occurs. Is this a safe level for fish?

A groundwater treatment plant adds chlorine to oxidize iron and manganese for removal by filtration. The groundwater temperature during peak summer usage is 10°C and the pH is 7.8. Based on a tracer study, the t10 time from chlorine addition in the contract tank through filtration is 1.8 min. The t10 time in the clear well during peak pumpage is 8.0 min. The chlorine residual in the filter effluent is 0.8 mg/l and in the clear-well effluent is 0.4 mg/I. If the groundwater supply has to meet a 3-log virus inactivation, is the disinfection adequate?
