Problem 4. A receipt of surface water sample is given in Table below: Substance Concentration (mg/L) Total Hardness 1000 mg/L CaCO3 Phenolphthalein acidity 5 mg/L CaCO3 Phenolphthalein Alkalinity 3 mg/L CaCO3 It is known that phenolphthalein alkalinity is only due to CO3²- and phenolphthalein acidity is only due to H₂CO3. Assuming the hardness of sample is because of calcium and magnesium ions, alkalinity-acidity are due to the carbonate species, calculate: a) The pH of sample. b) Temporary and permanent hardness as mg/L CaCO3. c) Total alkalinity and acidity as mg/L CaCO3. Molecular weights (g/mole): Ca = 40, Mg = 24, H = 1, C = 12, 0 = 16

A wastewater treatment plant has been operating with the following specifications:flow rate = 7,630 m3/d, aeration tank volume = 1,270 m3, mixed liquor volatile suspendedsolids = 2,600 mg/l. The soluble BOD in the plant influent used to be 133 mg/l, but hasrecently changed to 222 mg/l. What is the new MLVSS this plant should use to maintain thesame F/M ratio as before? (Ans. Xnew = 4,340 mg MLVSS/l)

Problem: You are designing a 20 mgd wastewater treatment plant. To characterize the plant's influent solids, the lab used 90 ml samples of the ty[ical wastewater and the following equipment: Solids: Lab Equipment Evaporation Dish Gooch crucible 2.0-micron paper filter 2.0-micron Whatman GF/C filter Lab Measurement Dish + Residue after evaporation 4. Weight 54.2830g 54.2170g 1.5240g 1.6948g 1. The lab placed a sample in an evaporation dish and evaporated it at 105°C finding that the dish weighted 54.3490 g after the dish cooled. What is the concentration (mg/L) of the Total Solids (TS) in the influent?(Ans: TS = 733.3 mg/L) 54.349g 2. If you anticipate a Total Suspended Solids mass loading of 48,400 lb/day at this flow rate, what is the concentration of TSS you anticipate in the influent? What does the analytical scale read? 3. The lab then filtered a sample through a 2-micron filter and evaporated the filter at 105°C, what was the mass of the residue found on the filter paper after it…
You have been treating a wastewater with bacteria that have the following kinetic coefficients: k= 16 mg BODL/mg VSS-day Ks = 10 mg BODL/1 b =0.2/day Y = 0.35 mg VSS/mg BODL fa=0.8 A genetic engineer comes to you and claims he can "fix" your bacteria so they are more efficient. The fixed bacteria will have b=0.05/day and fa= 0.95, while all other coefficients are the same. Using a chemostat reactor, you were successfully using a safety factor of 30, and you plant to continue doing so. How would the genetic engineers plan affect your sludge production and oxygen requirements? Assume Xº=0, Sº=200 mg BODL/1). In what ways are the new bacteria more efficient?
