A mass balance is performed for a treatment process consisting of a sedimentation tank followed by a mixing tank. First, 25097 m3/d of raw wastewater with solids concentration of 180 mg/l flows into the sedimentation tank. 97% of the incoming solids end up in the sludge. The effluent flows at a rate of 1040 m3/hr. Next, the effluent of the sedimentation tank enters the mixing tank where it is mixed with pure filtered water. Assume that the density is the same for all streams. Calculate the following: a) Flow (m3/d) of the sludge in the sedimentation tank. b) Solids concentration (mg/l) of the effluent in the sedimentation tank. c) Flow (m3/d) of the pure filtered water, knowing that that the final effluent of the mixing tank will be used in irrigation with a ma ximum solids concentration of 97 mg/l.

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...

The PLC program simulates a process tank being filled with a fluid. The tank will start filling (via a valve) whenever the start process button is enabled and the tank is below 50% full. It will shut off when the tank is 100% full. In case the level sensor is out of calibration or not working properly, there is a high-level safety limit to prevent the tank from overfilling. If the high limit is met at a preset value of...

A study was performed to test a new treatment for autism in children. In order to test the new method, parents of children with autism were asked to volunteer for the study in which 9 parents volunteered their children for the study. The children were each asked to complete a 20 piece puzzle. The time it took to complete the task was recorded in seconds. The children then received a treatment (20 minutes of yoga) and were asked to complete...
