Assignment 1 A coagulation treatment plant with flow rate of 0.5

/s is dosing alum at 23.0 mg/L. No

other chemicals are added. The raw water suspended solids concentration is 37 mg/L. The effluent suspended solids concentration is 12.0 mg/L. The sludge solids content is 1.00% and the specific gravity of sludge solids is 3.01. What volume of sludge must be disposed of each day?

Alum

Q = 0.5 m /L = 500 L/s

IN1 = 23 mg/L

SS1 Out1 = 12 mg/L SS2

Suspended Solid

Out2 = 48 mg/L

IN2 = 37 mg/L

IN1 = Inlet 1 IN2 = Inlet 2 Out1 = Outlet 1 Out2 = Outlet 2

a) Concentration of Outlet 2 ( In = Out In1 + In2 = Out1 + Out2 23 mg/L + 37 mg/L = 12 mg/L + Out2 Out2 = 48 mg/L b) Mass Flowrate of Outlet 2 (Out2):

= 48

x 500

= 24000 c) Sludge Disposed in 1 day:

= 24000
