A treatment plant being designed for cynusoidal city requires an equalization basin to even outflow and BOD variations.The average daily flow is 0.400m^3/s.The following flows and BOD5 have been found to be typical of the average variation over a day.What volume equalization basin is required to provide for a uniform outflow equal to the average daily flow?Assume the flows are hourly averages and that an addition of 25% to the estimated volume will be provided to account for contingencies.

A municipal water treatment plant is designed to produce 20 million gallons per day (MGD) of potable water. The plant treats surface water using coagulation followed by sedimentation, filtration, and chlorination. Although the water is hard, it is not presently softened. The water is coagulated using a 30 mg/L dosage of alum (aluminum sulfate, Al2(SO4)3•14.3H2O, MW = 600). This chemical reacts in water to form Al(OH)3 as follows: Al2(SO4)3 + 6HCO3- → 2Al(OH)3(s) + 3SO4-2 + 6CO2 How many mg/L...
