1. Design an aerated grit chamber for flow of 100MLD. Assume a peak factor of 3.
3. Design a SST for treatment of 15MLD effluent coming from an conventional ASP
system. Assume that the MLSS concentration is 4500mg/l and a peak factor of 2.5.
Assume suitable design parameters for design.
4. Design a completely mixed ASP having a flow rate of 10MLD. The influent BOD
concentration is 225mg/l and the effluent BOD should be 30mg/l. Given that solids
retention time is 15 days, MLVSS/MLSS is 0.95, RAS concentrations of 15000mg/l
and MLVSS concentrations is 3500mg/l.
5. Design a low rate Trickling Filter for treating 10MLD of sewage flow having a BOD
concentration of 250mg/l. The treated effluent should have a BOD concentration of
30mg/l and an organic loading rate of 400g/m3/day.
7. Design a circular sewage sedimentation tank for a town having population capacity of
40,000. The average water demand is 140lpcd. Assume that 70% of water supplied is
generated into sewage and the maximum demand is 2.7 times the average demand.
8. Design a high rate trickling filter having a flow of 4.5MLD and a recirculation ratio of
1.4. The influent BOD is 280 mg/lit and the treated BOD in effluent is 50mg/lit.
Assume BOD removal in primary settling is 36%
9. Design a suitable circular trickling filter to treat a capacity of 5MLD and having BOD
concentration of 150 mg/l
10. Design a high rate two stage trickling filter to treat a flow 4MLD having BOD
concentration of 240 ppm and it is designed for loading of 10,000kg of BOD in the
raw sewage per hectare meter. The recirculation ratio is 1 in both cases and the filter
media is divided in both the filters. Determine the effluent BOD concentrations.
11. Two long rectangular primary sedimentation tanks are provided in a sewage treatment
plant to handle an overflow of 5250 m3/day. The suspended solids concentration in
raw sewage is 200 mg/l and the removal efficiency in PST is 60%. The sizes of the
tanks are 15m x 5m x 3m. Using the data, calculate (a) surface overflow rate (b)
detention time (c) mass of sludge generated per day assuming 97% moisture content
12. Design a conventional ASP to treat domestic sewage for a population of 1,50,000
with a sewage generation of 150lpcd. The average flow is 22.5MLD and the influent
BOD concentration in ASP is 200 mg/l and required effluent BOD concentration is 10
mg/l.
13. A completely mixed ASP having a discharge of 10,000 m3/day and an influent BOD
concentration of 150 mg/l. The effluent BOD concentration is 5 mg/l and the F/M
ratio is 0.5 and reaction rate constant as 0.05/day. The MLSS concentration is 3000
mg/l and the underflow concentration is 10,000 mg/l. Using the information calculate
(a) volume of the reactor (b) mass and volume of solids to be wasted each day and (c)
recirculation ratio
14. The sewage discharge of a town is 1.72m3/sec. If the sewage is discharged into a
river, whose minimum discharge is 7240l/sec. The minimum DO to be maintained in
the river is 4.4 mg/lit, determine the degree of sewage treatment to be done using the
following data: (a) Temperature of both sewage and river water is 200C (b) k1 and k2
values are 0.1 and 0.5 per day respectively (c) BOD5 at 200C of sewage = 225mg/l (d)
BOD5 at 200C of river = 1.2mg/l (e) DO of sewage is 0 (f) DO at saturation in river =
80% and (g) Saturation DO at 200C is 9.17mg/l
15. Design a septic tank for a population of 25000. The rate of sewage flow is 150lpcd.
Assume any suitable data if not given.
