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.

8. A water treatment plant with a surface water intake source is being designed for a municipality that has a water demand of 18 million gallons per day (MGD). It has been determined that the maximum daily summertime water temperature is 20oC, and the minimum daily wintertime water temperature is 5oC. It has been determined that the design of the disinfection system must achieve 2.5-log credit for Cryptosporidium removal or inactivation. Ozone will be used as the disinfectant with a...

The city of Bloomington is about to build a new water treatment plant. Once the plant is designed (D) we can select the site (S), the building contractor (C and the operating personnel (P). Once the site is selected we may erect the building (B). We can order the water treatment machine (W) and prepare the operations manual (M) only after the contractor is selected. We can begin training the operators (T) when both the operations manual and operating personnel...

You are studying a plant that requires a period of cold treatment before it will flower. You subject a plant to cold treatment, return it to temperatures favorable for growth, and then compare the chromatin state of the DNA taken from: (1) meristem cells from a shoot that originated before the cold treatment; (2) meristem cells from a shoot that developed after the cold treatment; (3) ovule egg cells from a flower on stem 1; (4) seeds from a flower...

A municipal wastewater treatment plant is designed for COD removal and nitrification. The wastewater characteristics and kinetic coefficients are described in the table below. The aeration tank DO concentration is 2.0 mg/L and MLSS concentration is 2500 mg/L. The temperature is 15C. Assume that the concentration of influent NH4-N that is nitrified accounts for 80% of influent TKN. Calculate the following parameters as a function of SRT (i.e., derive mathematical expressions of the following parameters as a function of SRT,...

A water treatment plant is designed for a constant flow rate of 3 MGD. The flocculation system consists of three tanks, each having a water depth of 10 ft and an average hydraulic residence time (HRT) of 30 min. (a) Determine the dimension of each tank (i.e., width and length). (b) Determine whether the flow through velocity is acceptable. (c) The plant is planning to take one tank out of service for maintenance. Determine the increase in power requirement...
