If wastewater recirculation rates are too high ---------------

solids will wash out of the secondary clarifier

effluent will be sparkling clean

the treatment efficiency will be high

it all depends on the pH

we don't know what will happen

Expert Solution

Increase in Re-Circulation rates of waste water increases the Efficiency of treatment.

The strength of the influent is diluted and also the oxygen content is increased by re-circulation.

That means if the re-circulation rates are too high, it will reduces the strength of influent further and which will result in more Efficiency.

15. Secondary Clarifier Design: Calculate the final clarifier diameter for each of two (2) treatment trains of a system operated in parallel. The total flow will be 10,000 m3/day. mlss = 2200 mg/L, Recycle (R) = 0.27 Use an overflow rate of 20 m3/m2-day and a solids loading rate of 3 kg/m2-day. Only consider design for the average flow conditions. Make whatever other assumptions are needed. The diameter of each tank in meters will be most nearly :

Primary clarifier effluent was analyzed for solids content by an analytical laboratory. A 250-mL sample of the effluent was filtered through a laboratory (1 micrometer) filter. A 241-mL sample of the filtrate contained 89 mg of salts as dissolved solids (Residue 1). Solid residue from the filtration was dried overnight at 105 deg C and weighed 37 mg (Residue 2). What were the concentrations of total dissolved solids, total suspended solids, and total solids in the primary clarifier effluent? Water...

Define Give detention time and give reasons why wastewater needs to stay in the clarifier longer. What is the implications having the tank (clarifier) smaller for the amount of flow? 4 marks b. In the oxidation of ammonia by nitrifying bacteria, considerable quantities of oxygen can be utilised, which can represent a significant fraction of the total oxygen demand of a wastewater. Name these bacteria (2) and give equations to illustrate the process 8 Mark

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...

4000 m3/d of wastewater with a total suspended solids (TSS) concentration of 200 mg/L is subjected to treatment by coagulation and flocculation followed by sedimentation. The ferric chloride dose is 25 mg/L and the TSS removal is 90%. Estimate the daily volume of sludge produced if the sludge has a specific gravity of 1.05 and moisture content of 92.5%. The following reaction is applicable: 2FeCl3 + 3Ca(OH)2 ? 2Fe(OH)3 + 3CaCl2

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...
