Draw a complete process flow diagram for a conventional filtration drinking water treatment plant, labeling each component and indicating its purpose (what it is designed to remove or how it affects removal in subsequent processes). Disinfection by-products: why are they a problem, how are they formed, and how does a conventional filtration plant minimize their formation? The purpose of coagulation and flocculation is to prepare colloidal particles for removal from water or wastewater by a downstream process of settling and/or filtration. The coagulants that are commonly used have two different functions that you should explain. Explain how (the dreaded chemistry) the addition of alum decreases alkalinity and tends to lower the pH of the treated water. (you may want to have a separate slide or graphic to help you explain this). Make sure to discuss how the mixing systems differ between the coagulation (rapid mix) and flocculation (slow mix) steps in the process. Talk about the…

limitation of reverse osmosis water treatment technology
A 1,200 gpm WTP is being designed for treating iron and manganese. The influent manganese concentration is 80 mg/L and the iron concentration is 90 mg/L. How much oxygen (mg/L DO) from aeration is needed for design? Assuming that aeration only removes 85% of Fe and Mn, how much potassium permanganate is needed (mg/L)? Design standards require 30 days of chemicals onsite. Assuming that the chemicals onside are dry, how many lbs of potassium permanganate are required? If the treatment plant is to operate two filter cells at a time, what is the required SA of each cell, assuming SOR of 2.5 gpm/sqft?
You are approached by a local consulting firm and are asked to design a full-scale wastewater treatment plant for COD removal only. Most of the influent COD is present in acetate form, and the nitrogen source in the influent is nitrate. The system will be aerobic. The consulting firm provides you with all details necessary for the design except the bacterial yield co-efficient, which they do not have due to the unknown bacterial population. How would you approach this design? Make necessary assumptions.
