Instructions:
Answer 36 questions in 15 minutes.
If you are not ready to take this test, you can
study here
.
Match each statement with the correct term.
Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.
This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Land applicatioin worries
Chemically - Aerobically - Anaerobically
Not in my back yard - nutrient overload - crops
Forms clear interface between particles and supernatant( big word) - particles move around the water
Remove as many organic and non organic particles as possible
2. Sedimentation
Easy/Costly hard to dewater
Floating upside down
Discrete - floculation - hindered - compression
Remove all flocculated particles
3. Compress double layer
Low BOD - High suspended solids - no control - does not match limits`
Add salt
Very pH dependent - grab pieces
Always the same dose needed - but that dose is higher
4. Hinderded Settling
Last chance to remove particles
Forms clear interface between particles and supernatant( big word) - particles move around the water
Need enough to make it happen - don't shear the floc though
High pH and cold is bad
5. Higher pH gives more
Acts like a sponge - water moves around particles
High pH and cold is bad
Forms clear interface between particles and supernatant( big word) - particles move around the water
OCL
6. Purpose of sedimentation in waste water
Low BOD - High suspended solids - no control - does not match limits`
Remove as many organic and non organic particles as possible
No residual
Very pH dependent - grab pieces
7. Goal for drinking water disinfection
Acts like a sponge - water moves around particles
De watering - belt press and centrifuge
High Molecular Weight Synthetics
Residual at tap
8. Dichotomy of energy level for floculation
9. Differential Sedimentatioin
Very pH dependent - grab pieces
Big Partices Catch little ones
Acts like a sponge - water moves around particles
Starts high then goes down like a parabolla as the particles settle then goes back up as it starts to jam
10. Discrete Sedimentation
11. What is thickening - name 2 ways
Remove the dead pigs - stuff that would hurt the pumps
Remove all flocculated particles
Fixed films
De watering - belt press and centrifuge
12. where is the break point in chlorination and what happens after
Turn a large number of small particles into a small number of large particles
Need enough to make it happen - don't shear the floc though
The second dip in the graph - free chlorine is formed
No residual
13. Stabilization 3 ways
Chemically - Aerobically - Anaerobically
Particle in a medium - they don't interact with other particles
Floating upside down
Remove all flocculated particles
14. G
Fixed films
Big Partices Catch little ones
Remove viruses and bacteria that slipped through filter
RMS velocity gradient
15. Advantage/Disadvantage of Aerobic digestion
Chemically - Aerobically - Anaerobically
Forms clear interface between particles and supernatant( big word) - particles move around the water
Low BOD - High suspended solids - no control - does not match limits`
Easy/Costly hard to dewater
16. What is the effect of temperature and pH
Easy/Costly hard to dewater
Fixed films
Cheap - low biosolids - resistant to shock - simple
High pH and cold is bad
17. Headloss change over time
Starts high then goes down like a parabolla as the particles settle then goes back up as it starts to jam
Discrete - floculation - hindered - compression
Remove the dead pigs - stuff that would hurt the pumps
Settling of floculant particles
18. Goal for wastewater disinfection
No residual
Last chance to remove particles
Floating upside down
Particle in a medium - they don't interact with other particles
19. 4 mechanisms
Compress double layer - adsoprtion and nuetralization - enmeshment - particle bridging
Optimal dose depends on charge and concentration
Sedimentation - suspended solids
Fixed films
20. Advantage of trickling filter
Easy/Costly hard to dewater
Cheap - low biosolids - resistant to shock - simple
Add salt
De watering - belt press and centrifuge
21. CL catch 22
Forms clear interface between particles and supernatant( big word) - particles move around the water
Always the same dose needed - but that dose is higher
Optimal dose depends on charge and concentration
Want pH high for corrosion but lower for HOCL
22. Compression Settling
Starts high then goes down like a parabolla as the particles settle then goes back up as it starts to jam
Discrete - floculation - hindered - compression
Remove the dead pigs - stuff that would hurt the pumps
Acts like a sponge - water moves around particles
