front 1 To control the settling characteristics of the suspended particles, what should the operator adjust? | back 1 The chemical coagulant dose and the coagulation flocculation process |
front 2 The tendency of the water to flow at the inlet velocity straight
through the | back 2 Short circuiting |
front 3 Which statement is true about treating colder water? | back 3 The colder the water, the longer it takes particles to settle out |
front 4 Floc carryover from the sedimentation basin will cause what problem? | back 4 Premature clogging of the filters and degraded finished water quality |
front 5 A settling tank at a water plant is 125 feet long, 65 feet wide and operates at a depth of 12.5 feet. How many gallons does the tank contain? | back 5 759,688 gallons |
front 6 What is the purpose of the sedimentation process? | back 6 Remove suspended solids that are denser than water and to reduce the load on the filters |
front 7 As water temperature decreases, the operator should be prepared to take what action to increase efficiency of the sedimentation process? | back 7 Reduce the flow through the basin to increase detention time |
front 8 What is the name of the unit that combines coagulation, flocculation and sedimentation processes into a single basin and may be either rectangular or circular in shape? | back 8 Upflow, solids contact clarification |
front 9 During normal operation of the sedimentation process, operators
will | back 9 Turbidity and temperature |
front 10 A circular clarifier is 98 feet in diameter with an operating depth of 11 feet. Calculate the surface area | back 10 7,539 sq ft |
