The chlorine contact tank of a water treatment plant is 69.5 m3 . The plant is treating water at flow rate of 123456 m3 /week.The applied Ct value for 99.9% removal of Giardia protozoa is about 175 mg.min/L to achieve current drinking water standards. The new water standards need 99.999% removal of the same microbe to save population from Giardia infection. What would be the new chlorine dosage (mg/L) to satisfy the new water standard? Assume no infrastructure change.

Two part question: 1) Design a chlorine contact basin (serpentine) to disinfect 1 MGD flow and meet 4- log virus removal with a free chlorine residual of 0.1 mg/L (pH=7, Temp = 25C). Use a length:width ratio of approximately 20:1 and a depth of 4 to 6 feet. 2) Alter the design to achieve 3-log removal of Giardia cysts using free chlorine (still must treat 1 MGD, pH=7, T = 25C). How would the design change if you used chlorine...

The amount of 38*10 6 gallons/day of raw water enters a water treatment plant to produce potable drinking water. The water source has high turbidity and hardness. The plant’s engineers have decided to use alum to address the turbidity problem and use other appropriate techniques to reduce the hardness. They performed jar tests and an optimum dose for alum was determined as 14.7 mg/L. a) Calculate the amount of alkalinity consumed (mg/L as CaCO3) b) Calculate the amount of required...
