productivity
lakes ability to support aquatic life



measured by the algae growth




"produces" algae

lakes vs productivity
Oligotrphic-low priductivity
-well Oxygen


Eutropihc
-high productivity
-low oxygen
Oligotrphic

-low priductivity


-well Oxygen




Eutropihc


-high productivity


-low oxygen

water density and overturn
most dense at 4 degrees

therefore we get overturn



Limnic eruption
C02 exploding from tropical lakes

no overturn

BOD
Biochemical oxygen demand
Dissolved oxygen vs temp
Higher temp = lower Do

think of hot vs cold cola

Do Sag curve
5 zones

-clean (start)


-Decompisition (gets worse)


-Septic (@ the worst)


-Recovery ( I got better)


-Clean (end)

infiltration vs inflow
- infiltration (sneaky) ground water



- Inflow = storm water

overall waste water treatment process
Pre-treatment-Bar rack
-Grit chamber
-Equalization

Primary
--Primary settling

Secondary
-Biological treatment
-Secondary settling

Tertiary
-Advanced waste treatment
Pre-treatment


-Bar rack


-Grit chamber


-Equalization





Primary


--Primary settling




Secondary


-Biological treatment


-Secondary settling




Tertiary


-Advanced waste treatment

pre treatment
-removes materials causing operational problems

-sand grit debris

Primary treatment
-Removes 60% solids and 35% BOD

-suspended particles

Secondary treatment
-Remove 85% BOD and Solids

-biological removes:


-BOD


-Ammonia


-Nitrate


-Phosphate


-

Advanced treatment
-Remove +95% BOD and Solids
Dispersed Growth vs Fixed Growth
Dispersed Growth - floating around

– Activated sludge


– Oxidation ditches/ponds


– Aerated lagoons, stabilization ponds


Fixed Growth - grow on something


– Trickling filters


– Rotating biological contactors (RBCs)

Activated sludge
Aerobic ponds
shallow = light pentrates to bottom

algae photosynthesis

Anaerobic ponds

used as pretreatment for high strength/temperature wastes

- fermentation
Facultative ponds
Aeraobic at the top of pond

Anaerobic at the bottom of the pond

sludge types
Primary

-3-8% solids


-70% organic




Secondary


-0.5-2% solids


-90% organic

Sludge treatment process
Thickening

Stabilization


Conditioning


De-watering


Reduction

Thickening
by gravity for primary

flotation for seconodary

stabilization

Aerobic Digestion



Anaerobic Digestion

-2 main advantages


-produce methane


-doesn't add oxygen



Conditioning
chemical conditioning

heat treatment

de-watering
drying beds

filtration (vacuum)

reduction (volume)
incineeration

-need dry


-need fuel


-solid inert


-treat exhaust air




wet oxidation


-wet is ok


-need energy


-solid inert


-treat exhaust air



Disposal
Spreading

Municipal landfill

Water treatment process
ScreenRapid mix
Floculation (reaction)
Sedimentation
recarbonation (GW only)
Rapid sand filter
Disinfection
Storage
Screen

Rapid mix


Floculation (reaction)


Sedimentation


recarbonation (GW only)


Rapid sand filter


Disinfection


Storage

Coagulation and Flocculation
alter surface charge

particles adhere to each other and are capable of gravity settling

Additives during water treatment

Surface water


Alum (Al2(SO4)3)

Al(3+) + colloids --> neutralize surface charge



Ground water


Lime and Soda ash

Alkalinity
because of carbonates + H



HCO3 + CO3 + OH + H

Hardness calculation
Total Hardness = Ca + Mg


Alk = HCO3 + CO3 + OH + H




Carbonate Hardness = lesser of TH or Alk




Non-carbonate H = TH - CH

hardness bar graph
Cations on the top

Anions on the bottom

Recarbonation
adds CO2 to dissolve particles
landfill???
