A pump is required for a sewage treatment plant in a municipality. Three options are under consideration. Applying an interest rate of 7.5%, the pump options data shown below, and the most computationally efficient appropriate engineering economic measure that can be used to compare the cost of the pump options, answer the questions that follow. Option Cost A B C Purchase Cost 56,000 26,000 20,000 First Year Operating Cost 8,000 10,500 11,500 Operating Cost Increase per Period 500 1000 1400...

Design a low rate trickling filter for secondary treatment of sewage generated from 10,000 persons with rate of water supply 170 liters per capita per day. The BOD5 after primary treatment is 110 mg/L and BOD5 of final effluent should be 20 mg/L. Consider the following equation, where C = 5.358. (St/So)=(1)/(1+C((D^0.67)/(QL^0.5)) Now, design a high rate trickling filter for the data given above except effluent BOD5 is 40 mg/l since polishing treatment is provided after high rate trickling filter....

Q. (a) What is the significance of different Stages of Sewage Treatment Processes? As a Plant Manager, what factors you would consider important in decision making regarding selection of any or more of these Stages? (b) What criteria are used in checking Process Efficiency of an Activated Sludge Process? Explain your understanding of SVI Index.

A wastewater treatment plant that treats wastewater to secondary treatment standards uses a primary sedimentation process followed by an activated sludge process composed of aeration tanks and a secondary clarifiers. This problem focuses on the activated sludge process. The activated sludge process receives a flow of 15 million gallons per day (MGD). The primary sedimentation process effluent has a BOD5 concentration of 180 mgBOD5/L (this concentration is often referred as S). Before flowing into the activated sludge process, the primary...

A sewage treatment plant located along a river reported a chemical spill which may have released mercury into the river. The local environmental regulatory agency requires that such spills be monitored, and any spill that results in a long term mercury level above 2.5 µg/L (micrograms per litre) requires the party at fault to pay a large fee. A random sample of 58 measurements showed a mercury reading near the treatment plant to have a sample mean of 2.7 µg/L...

Suggest the best instrumental method(s) for the following analyses. Also suggest possible sample pre-treatment methods or accessaries if there are any. Consider the sample concentration, possible interferences, sample size, etc. 6) To measure the concentration (about 10-3 M) of Cu2+ samples. 7) To know the crystalline structure of solid samples. 8) To measure Ca2+ concentration (about 1 ppm); the sample volume is very small. 9) To know the molecular structure of a carbonyl-containing organometallic compound [M(CO)n]. 10) Roughly estimate the...

Two service lines in a wastewater treatment plant that feed the secondary aeration basin. The proportions of time that line 1 and line 2 are in use are given in term of the random variables of X and Y, respectively. The joint distribution describing the proportions X and Y of these two components is given by f(x,y)={23(x2+y2),0≤x,y≤10,eleswhere A. Determine if X and Y are independent. B. The plant needs to have an idea of the combined proportions of the two...

Q3. You have been selected to design a secondary wastewater treatment plant for a municipality in Amman of 15,000 people which has some industry that discharges wastewater to the municipal sewer system. The average daily wastewater flow is 2.1 MGD (million gallon/d) and the raw sewage entering the WWTP has an average BOD5 of 240 mg/L and average suspended solids of 260 mg/L. If the average domestic per capita sewage flow is 115 gpcd, what is the average flow of...
