First Question (6/60)
Explain the following terms and processes in details?
- Mass flow balance
- Anerobic stabilizat ion
- Incineration
- Chemical Condition ing
- Terminal velocity
- Liming
Second Question (30/60)
Answer the following questions
1. How does it rain? Fo llo w up the water Cycle?
2. Exp lain the comp letely bio logical degradation process of NH 4 ?
3. Why it comes to PO4 production? How can you solve this problem?
4. Why the biological Method is most popular in the wastewater treat ment?
5. Why is it effective to use Rushing Rings as Filter med ia in trickling filter p rocess? Exp lain?
6. Why is the SVI an important Indicator for Final settling tank design?
7. What is the reason for hydraulic shock in the settling process, exp lain consequences?
8. Why is it very important the installing of Scrapers in the Final settling tank?
9. What are the aspects of sludge dewatering? (exp lain in details)
10. Show the following Phenomena or behavior:
- Sedimentation zones and show the TS-profile
- Flow kinds in settling tanks
Third Question (24/60)
By the Evaluation of an municipal waste water t reatment plant you find the follo wing:
- activated sludge mix system including (primary sedimentation -, aeration- and final settling Tank)
- a comp letely sludge treatment unit including (thickening, pressing and liming)
Given:
Population number = 650,000 capita
Water demand = 120 liter per day and capita
F/M-ratio = 0.065 kg TS/kg BOD5,el.
QR/QInf. = 0.6
 = 96 %
V Silo =120.000 m3 (Annual Capacity)
BOD5 -removal = 30%
SS-removal = 60%
SS a fter P ressing = 18%
SS a fter Liming = 40%
a) Find the BOD5 – Concentration in the Influence to the WWTP?
b) Prove the correctness of the assumption of 60g BOD/capita*day in 5% tolerance?
Attenti on: if you can’t solve (a, b) assume in fo llowing calculation an Aeration cost = 24000 NIS/d
c) Design a primary settling circular tank? (Gi ven: SOR = 60 m3 /d/m2 )
d) Determine the volume of aerat ion tank? Assume M LSSBio = 4g/l
e) Calculate the cost for Aeration Energy by 0.5NIS/KWh? (just in case you can solve (a))
f) Determine the volume of excessive sludge wasted daily by constant MLSS of 4g/l?
g) Design a phosphate station if the CP O4,Effluence = 0.5mg/l
h) Determine the needed Capacity of the Final Settling Tank by ISV = 100 ml/g and H = 4m
q SV = 600 l/ m2 h?
