A water treatment plant with an average flow of Q-1,0 m3/s treats its water with alum at a dose of 30 mg/L. A...
To pH of 8.3 To pH of 4.5 0 320 Alkalinity. Wastewater Problem. Determine the alkalinity in mg/L CaCOs for DI water and tap water based on the number of digits (digits= mg/L CaCO3 in 100 ml) Assuming that 25mg/L of filter alum [Al2(SO4)3-14.3 H2O] with MW-600 was used for coagulation, determine the total amount of alkalinity consumed in mg/L CaCOs from coagulation and flocculation. Is the amount of alkalinity consumed from coagulation less than, equal to, or greater than...
2. A dose of 41 mg/L of alum is used in coagulating a turbid water at a water treatment plant treating a flow rate of 32 million gallons per day (mgd). The natural alkalinity of the source water is 10 mg/L (as CaCO3). a. Will the alkalinity be completely consumed in the reaction? If not, then how much alkalinity will be left? If so, then what concentration of caustic soda (NaOH) must be added to avoid a change in the...
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...
[3 pts] A water treatment plant consists of coagulation, flocculation, sedimentation, filtration and disinfection. The suspended solids concentration in the raw water coming into the plant is 500 mg/L and the plant treats 8 MGD. Alum (Al2(S04)3 14H20) is used as a coagulant with a dose of 50 mg/L. Compute the total solid sludge produced daily if a complete reaction of alum to aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3] occurs and 98% total solids are removed by the sedimentation and filtration steps. The...
You are assigned to operate a drinking water treatment plant which has a capacity of 280 ML per day. The source water is from a river that contains a high concentration of dissolved organic carbon (DOC), (13 mg L-1) and has a high colour (60 HU) but where the alkalinity changes seasonally. In summer to winter the alkalinity is high (> 100 mg L-1 as CaCO3) and in spring after snow has melted in the mountains and the water flows...
