mounted on a cylinder that rotates in a flow channel. - DRUM

continuously backwashed, rotating drum screens operating under
gravity. - MICRO SCREEN
8. This is a transport step that brings about the collisions between
the destabilized particles needed to form larger particles that can be
removed readily by settling or filtration. - FLOCCULATION
9. It is used, most often, where one substance is to be mixed with
another. - CONTINUOUS MIXING
10. Type of Flocculation that used to refer to the aggregation of
particles brought about by the random thermal motion of fluid
molecules (also known as Brownian motions or movements). -
MICROFLOCCULATION
11. Type of Mixers that can also be used to mix chemicals. With
pressurized water jet mixers, the power for mixing is provided by
an external source that is the solution feed pump. -

12. Type of Mixers that are similar to static mixers but contain
rotating mixing element to enhance the mixing process. - IN LINE
MIXERS
13. Type of Mixers that are usually constructed with a vertical shaft
driven by a speed reducer and electric motor. - TURBINE AND
PROPELLER MIXER
14. In this type of mixer, the liquid treated is subjected to a series
of flow reversals in which the direction off low is changed. -
STATIC MIXER
15. Type of Mixers that are used as flocculation devices when
coagulants, such as aluminum or ferric sulfate, and coagulant aids,
such as polyelectrolytes and lime, are added to wastewater or solids
(sludge). - PADDLE MIXER
QUIZ 3
1. These units were designed to maintain a velocity us close to
0.3 m/s (1.0 ft/s) as practical and to provide sufficient time for
grit particles to settle to the bottom of the channel. This is also
the oldest type of grit chamber used. - RECTANGULAR
HORIZONTAL FLOW GRIT CHAMBER
higher settling velocities settle to the bottom of the tank. Lighter,
principally organic, particles remain in suspension and pass
through the tank. - AERATED GRIT CHAMBERS
3. In this kind of grit chambers, the solids are removed by a
rotating raking mechanism to a sump at the side of the tank. -
SQUARE HORIZONTAL FLOW GRIT CHAMBER
 4. In this kind of grit chambers, air is introduced along one side
of a rectangular tank to create a spiral flow pattern perpendicular
to the flow through the tank. The heavier grit particles that have
higher settling velocities settle to the bottom of the tank. Lighter,
principally organic, particles remain in suspension and pass
through the tank. - AERATED GRIT CHAMBERS
5. Sedimentation tanks have also been used as ______. Which are
designed to provide a moderate detention period (10 to 30 min)
for overflows from either combined sewers or storm sewers. –
STORMWATER RETENTION TANKS
6. These kinds of tanks are fitted with a mechanism to scrape the
sediments into a hopper from where it can be pumped out. -
RECTANGULAR TANK
7.  In this type of Sedimentation tank / clarifier the wastewater
enters through a center shaft or well and flows into a flocculation
compartment. Inorganic chemicals or polymers are introduced to
improve flocculation, accompanied by a paddle mixer. -
COMBINATION FLOCCULATOR - CLARIFIER
8. Both flow configurations have proved to be satisfactory
generally, although these type of tank is more commonly used,
especially for primary treatment. - RADIAL FLOW TANKS
9. Originated in Japan in the 1960's where limited land area is
available. Two (or more) tanks operating on a common water
surface, stacked on to each other. - MULTILEVEL
CLARIFIERS
10. Is used principally to remove suspended matter and to
concentrate bio solids. The principle advantages of flotation over
sedimentation are that very small or light particles that settle
slowly can be removed more completely and in a shorter time. -
FLOATATION
11. Factors that might be considered in the design of flotation
units EXCEPT one. - RETENTION TIME
12. Is the process by which air is circulated through, mixed with
or dissolved in a liquid or substance. - AERATION
13. This type of aeration device is designed to retain air injected
at bottom of tube in contact with liquid. - STATIC TUBE
MIXER
14. This type of aeration device is generated with ceramic,
plastics or flexible membranes (domes, tubes, disks, plates or
panel configuration) - FINE BUBBLE
15. This type of aeration device has a small-diameter propeller
used to expose liquid droplets to the atmosphere. - HIGH-
SPEED FLOATING AERATOR

ENUMERATION
1. Grit composition can be highly variable, with MOISTURE
CONTENT ranging from 13 to 65 percent, and volatile content
from 1 to 56 percent.
2. Grit-removal equipment for aerated grit chambers is subject to
the same wear as experienced in the HORIZONTAL-FLOW
units.

3. SEDIMENTATION is the oldest and most widely used unit

operation in wastewater treatment.

4. The length of time that wastewater stays in the settling tank is

called the DETENTION TIME.

5. FLOTATION is a unit operation to separate solid or liquid

particles from a liquid phase.

6. DISSOVED-AIR FLOTATION is the injection of air while the

liquid is under pressure followed by release of pressure.

7. CENTRIFUGAL BLOWERS are almost universally used

where the unit capacity is greater than 425m3/min (15000 ft 3/min)
of free air.

8. CRYOGENIC AIR SEPARATION process involves the

liquefaction of air followed by tractional distillation to separate it
into its components mainly nitrogen and oxygen.

9. PRESSURE-SWING ADSORPTION system uses a multibed

adsorption process to provide a continuous flow of oxygen gas
(U.S. EPA,1974).

VERTICAL AXIS are designed to induce either updraft or
downdraft flows through a pumping action.
