    Study Notes

    Wastewater Treatment Process

    • Solids removed from primary treatment are typically dewatered, thickened, or stabilized.
    • Total wastewater solids include all the solids present in wastewater, including suspended and dissolved solids.

    Pathogenic Bacteria

    • Bacteria that cause diseases in humans are generally called pathogenic bacteria.

    Oxygen Depletion

    • Organic wastes discharged into receiving waters deplete oxygen through the process of decomposition.

    Wastewater Solids Treatment

    • The step that comes after Step 2 is thickening or stabilization.
    • The regulations that control heavy metals in plant influent flow are Ⓒ40 CFR Part 503.

    Sewer System

    • A sewer system designed to transport only wastewater from homes, industries, institutions, and businesses is called a sanitary sewer system.

    Excluded Step

    • The step that is NOT an ordered step related to wastewater solids treatment is recycling.

    Clarifier Geometry

    • The surface area of a circular clarifier with a circumference of 283 ft is 39,696 sq.ft.

    Concentration Conversion

    • A 6.35% solution is equivalent to a concentration of 63,500 mg/l.

    Initial Wastewater Treatment

    • The first step in wastewater treatment involves collecting and transporting wastewater to the treatment plant through a process called conveyance.

    Biological Process

    • The process that removes organic matter as part of the biological process in wastewater treatment is biooxidation.

    Preliminary Treatment

    • The first step in wastewater treatment at the plant involves removing coarse material through a process called preliminary treatment.

    Primary Treatment

    • The step that involves separating settleable and floating solids in wastewater is primary treatment.

    Solids Treatment

    • The treatment process that involves the treatment of solids removed from primary and secondary treatment processes for ultimate disposal is sludge treatment.

    Excluded Step

    • The step that is NOT a step related to wastewater solids treatment is power generation.
