sewage and their importance in the treatment and
disposal of sewage.

(4)
Q3. Distinguish between low rate trickling filters and high rate
filters.

Q4. Calculate the volume and number of aeration tanks and the
rate of air supply for the following data of the activated sludge
unit;

Population = 35,000

Average sewage flow = 180lpcd

BOD of raw sewage = 220mg/l

BOD removed in primary treatment = 30%

Overall BOD reduction desired = 85%

consumption is 130lit/day. Calculate the following
in respect of the rapid sand filter tor the above data.

(i) Total area of filters;

(ii) Number and dimension of each filter bed;

Q6. Design the septic tank for the following data:

No. of people = 100

Sewage/capita/day = 120lit

Desludging period = 1 year

Length: width = 4:1

Q7. A town has an average domestic sewage flow of 41,650 m3/day


with a BOD concentration of 250ppm. A neighboring
industrial estate adds about 12,325 m3/day of sewage
having 9080kg of BOD to it. Find out:
