3) Practice tice problem 1. When drinking water treatment plants chlorinate water, the chlorine must remain in contact with the water for at least 30 minutes before being delivered to customers. A water plant operator wishes to know i his existing 10,000-gallon storage tank can provide this HRT. He does a wash-out tracer test with fluoride salt (conservative). The initial concentration is i2 mg/L and after an hour of feeding non-fluoridated water through the tank at 20 gpm, the concentration has dropped to 2 mg/L. Does the tank have the required HRT? Answer: Yes, the HRT is 33.5 minutes. Practice problem 2. Upstream of a pond (75,000 m2 with a downstream outlet stream) a factory has discharged XYZ to the creek feeding the pond for many years. A new wastewater treatment system is installed which removes XYZ totally from the factory wastewater. If the creek flowrate is 0.5 m'/s and there is no other source of XYZ in the system, how long will it take for the pond concentration to drop to 10% of its original value? Answer:
