Q.12 Determine the quantity of alum required in order to treat 20 million litres of water
per day at a treatment plant where 11 ppm of alum dose is required. Also
determine the amount of carbon dioxide gas which will be released per litres of
water treated
Q.13 Design six slow sand filter beds from the following data:
Population to be served= 75,000 persons
Per Capita Demand = 140 lit/day
Rate of Filtration = 185 litres/hr./sq.m
Length of each bed = Twice the breadth
Assume Maximum demand as 1.8 times the average daily demand. Also assume
that one unit out of six will be kept as stand-by.
