85 WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT ENGINEERING


HOMEWORK 6

Question 1 (2 points)
You need to design an air stripper for ground water contaminated by benzene. Your ground
water extraction system will generate 0.1 m3/s at a concentration of 100 g/L. You need to
reduce the concentration to the MCL under the Safe Drinking Water Act, which is 5 g/L. Your
manufacturers representative tells you that their 3.5-inch plastic tripacks have a value of KLa =
0.011 sec-1. Determine the diameter and height of the tower assuming a water flow rate of 0.014
m/s and stripping factor of 3.5.

Question 2 (2 points)
The results of a chlorine demand test on a raw water at 20C are given in the following table:
Sample Chlorine Dosage Residual chlorine after 10
(mg/L) minutes of contact (mg/L)
1 0.2 0.19
2 0.4 0.37
3 0.6 0.51
4 0.8 0.50
5 1.0 0.20
6 1.2 0.40
7 1.4 0.60
8 1.6 0.80

a. Sketch the chlorine demand curve.


b. What is the breakpoint chlorine dosage?
c. What is the chlorine demand at a chlorine dosage of 1.2 mg/L?

Question 3 (4 points)
The average daily wastewater flow for a city is 17.6 L/s, the peak hourly rate is 28.4 L/s, and the
minimum hourly rate is 7.1 L/s. Design a rectangular-cross-section grit chamber with a
proportional weir outlet to control flow. Assume the grit particle to be removed has a settling
velocity of 2.3 cm/s and that the chamber flow-through velocity is to be maintained at
approximately 0.3 m/s. You can assume the grit chamber will be 30 cm wide and that the weir
coefficient, CW, for the proportional weir is 0.98. The proportional weir equation does not have a
solution at h = 0, which is the bottom of the weir. You can set the bottom width as that
determined for h = 1 cm. In other words, your weir will have vertical sides between h = 0 and
h = 1 cm.

Question 4 (2 points)
Fats, oils, and grease (FOG) is represented by the generic chemical formula C8H16O.
Determine the COD and cell yield of FOG. Determine cell yield both per gram of FOG and gram
of COD.
