A control, process for a glass furnace will remove boron from the 1400 oF furnace by cooling the exhaust to 275 oF in an evaporative cooler to condense B2O3. The cooled exhaust will then pass through a ro verse-jet filter to remove suspended dust, including the B2O3 particulates. Draw a preliminary flow sheet for the process, indicating any auxiliary equipment needed, List any operating difficulties you think might arise with this system.

Transcribed Image Text:1-6. In a biological waste treatment system, solids may enter in the influent, be created or destroyed by biological growth or decay, and may leave in the effluent. Con- sider a waste treatment plant treating 1m'/s of an influent containing 55 mg/L of degradable organic solids. The wastewater also contains 180 mg/L of dis- solved organic carbon (DOC), which may be degraded. For every gram of dissolved organic matter that is degraded, the overall reaction converts a portion of the material into CO, and H20, and another portion into 0.4 g of new biomass. Analytically, this biomass and the degradable solids in the influent are both quantified as volatile suspended solids (VSS); that is, the degradable solids in the influent and the new biomass that grows in the reactor are indistinguishable from one another. (a) In a particular system, the dissolved organic matter (i.e., the substrate, S) is removed from solution at an overall rate (including both the conversion…
Please upload your full solution to the following problem. Determine the dosage and daily consumption of powdered activated carbon (PAC) required for trichloroethylene (TCE) removal given the following design specifications: 6 SUL Influent concentration = 1 mg/L TCE Carbon type: Calgon Filtrasorb 400 (12 x 40 mesh); pb = 450 g/L Freundlich parameters for TCE • Freundlich capacity parameter K = 55.9 (mg/g)(L/mg)¹/n • Freundlich intensity parameter 1/n = 0.48 Treatment objective = 0.005 mg/L TCE Flow rate = 378.5 L/min (100 gal/min) Assume that no other solutes compete with TCE for adsorption onto the PAC, and that the PAC is saturated at the treatment objective.
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?

1. A CM reactor receives influent containing 10 mg/L of tracer dye for 2 hours. The tracer addition is terminated but the flowrate of water is maintained. The volume of the reactor is 10 L and the flowrate is 2 L/hr. What is the concentration of tracer in the reactor 1 hr after the dye addition is terminated? The reactor had an initial concentration of tracer of 1 mg/L when the tracer addition commenced.
A treatment plant has been designed to achieve 99 percent inactivation of Giardia Lamblia using chlorine dioxide. The engineer used data on the disinfection of Giardia Lamblia at 20°C for the design, but the plant operates in a northern climate, and current estimates are that the low water temperature in some winters will be 0.5°C. Estimate the expansion required in the contact chamber in order to achieve the same inactivation at that temperature. You may assume complete mixing in the contact chamber and that the inactivation of Giardia Lamblia follows the Chick-Watson relationship. Ct values for achieving 90% inactivation of Giardia Lamblia (mg.min/L) Temperature (°C) 0.5 °C 5 °C 10 °C 15 °C Chlorine 0.97 0.63 0.48 0.32 dioxide * Note that the chick Watson's disinfection rate constant is a function of temperature. 20 °C 0.24 25 °C 0.16
