A water treatment plant will deliver 15.0 million gallons per day 8 PUR(mgd). If the daily...
Example 8: A 10 MGD (million gallons per day) surface water treatment plant proposes to use alum coagulation for turbidity reduction using 45 mg/L alum! dosage. The raw water has an alkalinity of 20 mg/L as CaCo,. Commercial alum has the formula Al(SO2)2.144,0 (MW = 594). Determine the daily alum dosage required in kg/d. Z.6 -> EW - 99
A water treatment plant operator treats 5 million gallons per day (MGD) of a raw surface water with 25 mg/L of Aluminum Sulfate (Al2(SO4)3•16H2O) to remove suspended solids in the water. The untreated water contains 20mg/L total suspended solids (TSS). Assuming that the alum removes all but 2 mg/L TSS, determine the weight of sludge which must be removed each day. Assume: - All of the added aluminum sulfate is converted to its solid hydroxide form (Al(OH)3) and captured in...
A 50-mgpd (million gallons per day) water treatment plant was proposed in 2017 for Ureka. A 60- mgpd plant using the same treatment process was built in 2010 in Vancouver for $50,000,000. Given the following additional information and assumptions: Poor site condition in Vancouver required an additional $3,000,000 for foundations, which is not anticipated for Ureka. Assume the power sizing size exponent = 0.67. Assume inflation will persist at an average 5% per annum. Assume the location index for Vancouver...
