11. Natural water can be divided into two categories: surface water and _______ water
12. _________ is the application of science and engineering principles to improve the environment (air, water, and/or land resources), to provide healthy water, air, and land for human habitation and for other organisms, and to clean polluted sites.
13. The reclaimed grey water should fulfill four criteria (hygienic safety, aesthetics, _________ and economical feasibility)
14. _________, is the action of polymers to form bridges between the flocs (particles) and bind the particles into large agglomerates or clumps
15. ___________ is the separation of suspended particles that are heavier than water
16. ___________ is employed for the removal of solids greater than 10 microns in diameter
17. Alum, lime or a synthetic polyelectrolyte are examples of __________
18. In ___________, microorganisms convert the organic matter or other constituents in the wastewater into gases and cell tissue
19. The ___________ process is an aerobic suspended-growth process that maintains a relatively high population of micro-organisms (biomass) by recycling settled biomass back to the treatment process.
Project
20. Create a wastewater treatment plant and strategy for treating the wastewater below:
-Dark brown in color
-Strong and putrefied smell
-High pollutant load
-Substantial amounts of total solids (TS)
-Turbidity
-Oils and greases (OG)
-High biochemical and chemical oxygen demands (BOD5 and COD)
