07
contains about 15 mg/L of suspended solids estimate the maximum kg/day of dry sludge
solids which must be removed from the plant and volume of wet sludge which has
concentrated to 2% (by weight).
Q.5 (a) Write a note on "Operational difficulties of RSF".
03
(b) What are the advantages of dual media filters as compared to single media filters?
04
(c) Draw a neat sketch of Rapid Sand Filter (RSF) and explain its construction and working.
07
Q.6 (a) Enlist the assumptions for ideal sedimentation tank.
03
