LAB 1: MEASUREMENT OF TSS, MLSS, MLVSS

RAW DAT IS TO BE IN THE APPENDIX NOT IN THE MAIN

REPORT
INTRODUCTION
OBJECTIVE.

METHODOLOGY
1. Experimental Methodology
2. Procedure of Measuring of TSS, MLSS,
MLVSS
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
1. Plot TSS of effluent and influent vs time on the
same graph
comment on the shape of the graph of TSS.
2. for MLSS, MLVSS: Calculate the ratio of MLVSS:
MLSS for both aeration and anoxic tanks

CONCLUSIONS
compare with the characteristic of domestic
wastewater for TSS.
compare with the characteristic of MLSS, MLVSS for extended aeration system?
QUESTIONS to be ANSWERED
1. What is the purpose of stirring prior to sampling for filtration?
2. What is the purpose of filtering the distilled water and drying the pads prior
to test?
3. Why do you need to dilute the samples?
4. Why do you need 550 C oven to measure MLVSS?
5. What type of filter do you need to measure MLVSS?

Internal

6. When rinsing the filter funnel and the sampling bottle into the filter pad, you
are adding more liquid. Will this affect your TSS results? Why?
