Integrated Solid Waste Management

Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) is a thorough waste suppression, compost, removal and recycling Program. An effective ISWM system considers how to suppress, manage and recycle solid waste in a manner that is most efficiently to protect human health and the surrounding. ISWM system requires evaluation of public wants and demands and then selecting and merging the most effective waste management activities for the proposed demands. The main ISWM activities for solid waste management are Waste prevention, Recycling and Composting, and Combustion and Removal and waste collection in a properly planned, constructed, managed and mitigated landfill areas. Each of these requires careful designing, financing, accumulation, and delivery of activities.

Problem: You are designing a 20 mgd wastewater treatment plant. To characterize the plant's influent solids, the lab used 90 ml samples of the ty[ical wastewater and the following equipment: Solids: Lab Equipment Evaporation Dish Gooch crucible 2.0-micron paper filter 2.0-micron Whatman GF/C filter Lab Measurement Dish + Residue after evaporation 4. Weight 54.2830g 54.2170g 1.5240g 1.6948g 1. The lab placed a sample in an evaporation dish and evaporated it at 105°C finding that the dish weighted 54.3490 g after the dish cooled. What is the concentration (mg/L) of the Total Solids (TS) in the influent?(Ans: TS = 733.3 mg/L) 54.349g 2. If you anticipate a Total Suspended Solids mass loading of 48,400 lb/day at this flow rate, what is the concentration of TSS you anticipate in the influent? What does the analytical scale read? 3.

The wastewater from a synthetic textile manufacturing plant is discharged to a municipal treatment plant for processing with domestic wastewater. The characteristics of the synthetic textile wastewater are 1500 mg/L BOD, 2000 mg/L SS, 30 mg/L nitrogen, and no phosphorus. The characteristics of the domestic wastewater are 200 mg/L BOD, 240 mg/L SS, 35 mg/L nitrogen, and 7 mg/L phosphorus. Find the BOD, SS of the mixture. The ratio of flow rate is domestic/textile = 4/1
As an operator of a wastewater treatment facility, you have learned that your plant runs well at an SRT (based on MLVSS (X) in the aeration basin) of 12 days. If today’s MLVSS (X) concentration is 2,700 mg/L and the RAS (Xr) concentration is 5,500 mg/L, how many L of sludge should you waste from the secondary clarifier today? Other design conditions: Average influent flow = 12,000 m3/d Influent soluble BOD = 150 mg/L Required effluent TSS = 30 mg/L Aeration tank Volume = 1,000 m3
