Design a grit chamber for a wastewater treatment plant with an average flowrate of 25,000 m3/d and a peak flowrate of 55,000 m/d. The detention time at peak flow is 3.0 min. The width to depth ratio is 2:1. Use a depth of 2 m. The aeration rate is 0.4 m/min per m of tank length. a) Determine the total air required, (15 points) b) Dimensions of the grit chamber, (15 points) c) Determine detention time at average flow. (10...
9.9 Design an aerated grit chamber system to treat a 1-day sustained peak hourly flow of 1.6 m/s with an average flow of 0.65 m/s. See Table 9.4 for design guidance. Determine: a. The grit chamber volume (assuming two chambers will be used) b. The dimensions of the two grit chambers. c. The average hydraulic retention time in each grit chamber. d. Air requirements, assuming 0.20 m of air per m length of tank per minute. e. The quantity of...

Water and Wastewater Treatment SP-WATER TREATMENT PLANT SEDIMENTATION BASIN Design a rectangular, horizontal flow sedimentation process for a water treatment plant for turbidity removal Design Maximum Day Flow-20,000 m2ld Two parallel sedimentation tank, each designed for half of the total flow Depth 4.5 m, Width 6 m, Surface Overflow Rate 50 m/day Chain and flight sludge collector will be used, hence the limiting width of 6 m. Minimum Hydraulic Retention Time (detention time) 2 hrs Maximum weir rate 250 m/day/m...
Situation (note: Problem 2 is not linked with Problem 1): Assuming the design flow rate of raw wastewater to be treated is 20 MGD in the design year, the dissolved BODs is 380 mg/L, and SS is 360 mg/L. The wastewater generated by the sludge treatment process is about 4 MGD with the dissolved BODs being 1800 mg/L, and SS being 1200 mg/L, and will be returned to the wet well in the pumping station at the beginning of the...
1. The design flow for a water treatment plant (WTP) is 1 MGD (3.8x103 m'/d). The rapid mixing tank will have a mechanical mixer and the average alum dosage will be 30 mg/L theoretical mean hydraulic detention time of the tank will be 1 minute. Determine the following: a) the quantity of alum needed on a daily basis in kg/d, b) the dimensions of the tank in meters for a tank with equal length, width, and dept c) the power...
You have collected water samples of the influent (raw sewage) and effluent (treated sewage) at Houston Wastewater Treatment Plant. You plan to conduct the BOD5 test to determine the BOD rate constant, k. A. Would you expect the rate constants to be the same or different in these two samples? If different, which would be higher and why? B. If the BOD5 for the raw sewage sample is 600 mg/L, and the ultimate BOD is 650 mg/L at 20oC, find...

1. We reject the null hypothesis only when: a. our sample mean is larger than the population mean. b. the p value associated with our test statistic is greater than the significance level of the test we have chosen. c. our sample mean is smaller than the population mean. d. the p value associated with our test statistic is smaller than the significance level of the test we have chosen. 2. In a study of simulated juror decision making, researchers...
10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
