If a treatment plant used 60 gallons of 15% bleach with a specific gravity of 1.1 to treat 950,000 gallons of water per day, what is the dosage rate in mg/l? Answer 10 mg/l 8

11 114. If a treatment plant were treating 1.3 MGD by feeding chemicals at a rate of 20 ml/min and the chemical was 20% strength, what is the dosage rate in mg/l of the chemical being fed? Answer 1.17 mg/l 115. If a water treatment plant was treating 1,000,000 gallons of water per day with a dose of 8 mg/l, while using 50 gallons per day of a product that weighed 9 lb/gallon, what is the percentage of strength of the chemical? Answer 15% 116. If a water treatment plant was feeding 15 gallons per day of coagulant, what is their feed rate in ml/min? Answer 39 ml/min 117. If the Smith water company was treating 800,000 gallons of water per day using 5.25% bleach, that had a specific gravity of 1.1 with a dose of 4 ppm, how many gallons of bleach are used each week? Answer 388 gal/week Podunk has a groundwater well that produces 100 gal/min and runs an average of 17 hours a day. Due to the iron concentration in the well the operator chlorinates the well with gas chlorine at a dose of 2 mg/l in order to oxidize the iron for removal with a conventional treatment plant. How many pounds of chlorine gas are used daily? Answer 1.7 lbs/day 119. Podunk also uses a surface water source (lake) in their system and they use calcium hypochlorite (HTH) for pre disinfection. If they pumped 98,000 gal/day from this lake and dosed it at 4 ppm with 70% HTH, how many pounds would be used daily? Answer 4.67 lbs/day 120. The blended flow of 200,000 gallons per day is then treated with a coagulant. The operator is using 60% available liquid aluminum sulfate (alum) that weights 10 lbs/gal and she is dosing it at 10 mg/l. How many gallons of alum are added each day? Answer 2.78 gal/day 121. The operator adds a 75% available liquid cationic polymer prior to the flocculation basin as a coagulant aid. If she is dosing the 200,000 gal/day flow at 6 ppm and the polymer weighs 10 lbs/gal, how many gallons of the polymer are used daily? Answer gal/day 122. After flocculation, the daily flow of 200,000 gallons then flows through a sedimentation basin (clarifier) which measures 50 feet long, 30 feet wide and 12 feet deep. What is the detention time in hours of the water in this basin? Answer 16.2 hours 123. The 200,000 gpd flow is then filtered. The two filter beds measure 8 feet long and 6 feet wide. What is the loading rate in gpm/ft2? Answer gpm/ft What is the backwash pumping rate in gpm for this 96 ft2 filter if the backwash rate is 3 gpm/ft2? Answer 288 gpm 9

12 125. After filtration the operator disinfects the water with a dose of 4 mg/l of chlorine gas. How many pounds per day of chlorine is she adding to this 200,000 gal/day flow? Answer lbs/day 126. Last Tuesday the chlorinator broke and the operator had to dose the clear well with 15% bleach. How many gallons of bleach did it take to dose the clear well at 4 mg/l if the tank was 50 feet in diameter and it held 35 feet of water and the bleach weighed 9 lbs/gal? Answer gallons 127. If the 200,000 gal/day flow were leaving the plant through a 6 inch pipe, what is the velocity of the water through this pipe in feet per second? Answer ft/sec 128. If a reservoir volume was 30 million gallons and you were going to dose it at 0.6 ppm using bluestone that was 25% available, how many pounds of this chemical would you use? Answer 600 lbs 129. If you were dosing 1,200,000 gallons of water per day with a 6% polymer solution that had a specific gravity of 1.2 at a dose of 4 ppm, how many gal/day of this solution would be needed? Answer gal/day 130. If your system were feeding a chlorine dose of 10 mg/l to a flow of 200 gallons per minute, how many pounds of chlorine gas would be fed each day if the pump only ran for 8 hours each day? Answer 8 lbs/day 131. What is alum dose in mg/l if a chemical feed pump feeds at a rate of 4 pounds per day if the flow were 6,000,000 gallons per day? Answer mg/l 132. How many gallons per day of a 64% ferric chloride solution weighing 10 lbs/gal would be pumped into a treatment plants influent each day if the plant treated 900,000 gallons per day and a dose of 4 ppm was desired? Answer 4.7 gal/day 133. If a reservoir held 10 acre feet of water and it needed to be sprayed with copper Sulphate daily at a dose of 10 ppm, how many pounds of chemical would be needed each day if the chemical were 58% available? Answer 468 lbs 134. If a water pipe 8 inches in diameter and 2 miles long were dosed daily with chlorine at a rate of 10 ppm, how many gallons of 15% sodium hypochlorite would be needed each day? Answer gal/day 135. The Podunk Water Company treats 500 gpm using 30% ferric sulfate weighing 10 lbs/gal at a dose of 2 mg/l. What is the feed rate in gallons per day? 4 gal/day 10
