h) What do you understand by sludge age?
i) Explain why wastewater must be de-chlorinated after disinfection with chlorine compounds.
j) Determine Time of Aeration of water falling through a vertical distance of 5m in a single
descent.
Part- II
Q2 Only Focused-Short Answer Type Questions- (Answer Any Eight out of Twelve) (6 x 8)
a) If the 5ml Raw Sewage has been diluted to 400ml and DOi of the diluted sample is 12mg/l
and it was 8mg/l after 5 day incubation at 20ºC.Calculate the BOD of the raw sewage with
respect to its BOD5.
b) Explain the theory of Sedimentation and prove that Settling velocity does not depend upon
depth of sedimentation tank.
c) Discuss the design and operations of immobilize cell reactors.
d) Differentiate clearly between Attached growth process and Suspended growth process. List
various treatment techniques falling under each such process.
e) Compare in Tabular form Low Rate and High Rate Trickling Filters.
f) Explain how the function of a biofilter differs from that of a trickling filter.
g) Explain why stabilization occurs in each of the following processes: alkaline stabilization,
aerobic digestion, and anaerobic digestion.
h) Explain sludge digestion and its stages in digestion process. Also explain factors affecting
sludge digestion.
i) Compare the mechanisms of filtration for granular filters and membrane filter.
j) Explain the osmotic effects and toxic effects of treated wastewater with respect to disposal on
land.
k) Find out the volume of biogas produced in an anaerobic digester with a flow of 360 m3/h.
COD in waste sludge is 125000 mg/l. Neglect the growth rate. The biodegradable fraction of
organic waste (n) is 0.85.
l) What is mean by sludge mass balance? Discuss the mass balance calculation in a systematic
procedure.

Part-III
Only Long Answer Type Questions (Answer Any Two out of Four)
Q3 In a continuous flow-settling tank 3.5 m deep and 65m long, If the flow velocity of the sewage (16)
observed as 1.22cm/s. Evaluate the size of the particle of specific gravity 2.65 can effectively
remove?Assume temperature to 250ºC and Kinetic viscosity of water as 0.01cm2/s.
Design screen channel for peak flow of 45MLD.
Given, Size of Bars = 15mm X 50mm Clear Spacing between the bars 30mm.
Angle of inclination of the screen with the horizontal is 45º. Diameter of the incoming sewer is
0.65m.
Q4 Explain with neat sketch Working of a Trickling Filter. What is the Principle on which it work? (16)
Determine the size of a high rate Trickling filter foe following data:
Flow: 4.5MLD Recirculation Ratio : 1.4
BOD of Raw Sewage : 250mg/L BOD Removed in Primary Clarifier : 25%
Final Effluent BOD Desired : 50mg/l
Calculate also the size of the Standard rate trickling filter to accomplish the above
requirement.
Q5 Design a Septic tank having the following data: (16)
Number of User : 200 Rate of Water Supply: 150 lpcd
Detention Period: 18hours Percolation Capacity of Filter media: 1250 l/m3.
Draw a neat-dimensioned sketch of the septic tank you designed.
Also, find the diameter of Soak well. Assume Reasonable Data if Required. (Assume any
suitable data not provided)
Q6 Describe the various methods that can be used to dispose of the digested sludge. Discuss in (16)
details the working of these methods, which are useful in Indian Conditions.
