Question 2
Determine the critical deficit (in ppm) of dissolved oxygen when the stream flowing at a rate of 210 cumec with saturated dissolved oxygen limit of 10.6ppm is diluted with a sewage flowing at the rate of 1.35 cumec. Assume the Dissolved oxygen limit of waste water as 4ppm.
Question 3
500 kg BOD per day is applied to a high rate trickling filter having organic loading rate 1 kg/m3/day. Recirculation ratio is 1. Find the effluent BOD.
Question 4
Analysis of a water sample revealed that the sample contains the following species.
Concentrations of which of the species will be required to compute alkalinity?
Question 5
A water supply board is responsible for treating 1500 m3/day of water. A settling column analysis indicates that an overflow rate of 20 m/day will produce satisfactory removal for a depth of 3.1 m. It is decided to have two circular settling tanks in parallel. The required diameter (expressed in m) of the settling tanks is ___________.
Question 6
A water sample has a pH of 8.32. The concentration of hydroxyl ions in the water sample is
Question 7
A settling tank in a water treatment plant is designed for a surface overflow rate of 30. Assume specific gravity of sediment particles = 2.65, density of water (r) = 1000 kg/m3, dynamic viscosity of water (m) = 0.001 N.s/m2, and Stokes’ law is valid. The approximate minimum size of particles that would be completely removed is:
Question 8
For a wastewater sample, the three-day biochemical oxygen demand at incubation temperature of 20 °C (BOD3day, 20 °C) is estimated as 200 mg/L. Taking the value of the first order BOD reaction rate constant as 0.22 day-1, the five-day BOD (expressed in mg/L) of the wastewater at incubation temperature of 20 °C (BOD5day, 20 °c) would be ___________
