    Quiz Test No. 103 – Biological Treatment


    T
    he following questions are designed for trainees as they prepare to take the ABC wastewater operator test. It is also designed
    for existing operators to test their knowledge. Each issue of Clear Waters will have more questions from a different section of
    wastewater treatment. Good luck!
    1.  Distribution of flow over a trickling filter can best be determined using which  8. The biggest advantage of a pure oxygen activated sludge process is:
    method? a.  Requiring less tank volume
    a.  Dye testing b.  Improving the nitrification process
    b.  Flooding c.  Reducing chlorine demand
    c.  Pan test d.  Requiring less mechanical equipment
    d.  Measuring rotational speed of the arm
     9. A low respiration rate value (less than 4 mg O2/hr/gm MLSS) indicates:

    load is:
    3.  The main purpose of covering trickling filters is to: a.  Flow increases by 20 percent
    a.  Prevent algae growth on the media b.  BOD result of the influent composite sample is 50 percent higher than
    b.  Control odors normal
    c.  Control growth of flies and snails c.  DO residual drops in the aeration tank
    d.  Prevent heat loss and increase efficiency d.  Effluent more turbid than usual

    4.  Your MLSS level is 1,800 mg/L and your return sludge suspended solids value 11.  What is the main reason why MCRT is increased during the winter season?
    is 2,300 mg/L in a conventional activated sludge plant. What change would a.  To improve sludge settling
    typically be made to the return sludge flow? b.  To increase DO levels in the aeration tank
    a.  Decrease the flow rate c.  To reduce straggler floc in the effluent
    b.  Increase the flow rate d.  To increase solids inventory since bacteria activity is slower
    c.  Keep the flow rate steady
    d.  Keep the flow rate steady but increase the sludge wasting rate 12.  Sludge wasting rates affect:
    a.  Nitrification ability
    5.  Which of the following biological processes can produce alkalinity? b.  Growth rate of microorganisms
    a.  Carbonaceous BOD removal c.  Aeration tank solids inventory
    b.  Denitrification d.  All of the above
    c.  Nitrification

    a.  Is a physical/chemical process
    b.  Is a suspended growth process that is primarily anoxic and recycles solids
    from the secondary clarifier
    c.  Requires little or no oxygen
    d.  Utilizes a living community of microorganisms
