    Assignment questions.

    MODULE -4

    1. Draw a flow diagram of a municipal sewage treatment plant including sludge


    digestion.
    Give the removal of important polluting parameters by each of the treatment units.
    2. Discribe the importance of screens and types of screens in the sewage treatment
    process.
    3. Explain the functioning of screens and Grit chamber in the treatment of municipal
    wastewater.
    4.What are skimming tanks? Explain with a neat sketch.
    5. Design a rectangular sedimentation tank for a population of 90,000
    thousand, with an assured water supply of 140 lpcd, 80% of which reaches
    the treatment plant. Assume
    peak factor as 1.2, flow velocity = 0.3 m/min. Check for over flow rate.
    6. Design a grit chamber for a town having a population of 1 lakh. Assume
    suitable data necessary.
    7. What is meant by activated sludge? Describe with neat sketches the
    treatment of sewage by activated sludge process.
    8. Describe in detail the working principle of primary Sedimentation tank.

    MODULE -5

    efficiency of HRTF’s.
    2. Explain with a neat sketch, the working of trickling filter.
    3. Describe with a neat sketch the principle, construction and working of a conventional
    trickling filter and high rate trickling filter. Explain the importance of recirculation and
    its effect on the efficiency of HRTF’s.
    4. Design a high rate trickling filter for a sewage flow of 4.5 MLD, recirculation ratio

    people, contributing sewage at the rate of 120 lpcd. The 5 day BOD of sewage is 300
    mg/l.
    S

    excess or deficient.
    i) Turbidity.
    ii) Hardness.
    iii) pH.
    iv) Chlorides.
    9. In two periods each of 20 years, the population of a town has grown
    from 30,000 to 1,70,000 and then to 3,00,000. Determine
