6. (1) A water treatment plant applies chlorine for disinfection so that 10 mg/L chlorine is achieved immediately after mixing. The volume of water treated each day is 25,000,000 gal. What is the mass of chlorine needed by this plant every day? (2) The disinfection takes place in a contact tank which is a CSTR at steady state. Chlorine concentration in the contact tank is constant at 3 mg/L. Effluent of this contact tank will enter drinking water distribution systems directly. What is the chlorine residual and chlorine demand, respectively, for water in this plant? (3) It takes 15 minutes to get 0.5-log Giardia inactivation under current operation condition (chlorine concentration, pH, temperature, etc.). How long does it take to get 3-log Giardia inactivation under the same condition?

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.

A new water treatment plant will treat a maximum flowrate of 95,000 m3 /d. You have been asked to design the chlorine contact basin. The plant must achieve 0.5 log inactivation of Giardia lamblia cysts with chlorine. The CT value for 0.5 log removal at the design conditions is 36 mg-min/L. The chlorine residual leaving the basin will be 1.5 mg/L. a. Calculate the required volume of the chlorine contact basin if the basin is baffled so that the t10/τ...

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...

Problem #3: Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Stream Quality A wastewater treatment plant designed for a community of 45,000 people has a flow of 100 gal/person/day and a BOD5 loading of 0.2 lb/person/day. The upstream characteristics of the receiving waters are: stream flow rate = 20 cfs and BOD5 = 2 mg/L The water quality standards require the in-stream BOD5 to be less than 7 mg/L in this stretch of the river. The minimum BOD removal efficiency that the treatment...
