LEAVE TWO LINES BETWEEN PARTS OF A QUESTION 4, SHOW CLEARLY ALL EQUATIONS USED FOR CALCULATIONS, 5, ANSWERS Mi sf BE NUMBERED IDENTICAL TO THE QUESTION BEING ANSWERED 6, THE INTENDED MARK IS INDICATED AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH QUESTION DO NOT TURN THIS PAGE UNTIL YOU ARE TOLD TO DO SO Page 1 of 4‘The following description is relevant for question 1 and question 2 only A food manufacturing factory uses a nearby wel as its only source of fresh wate. The water is pumped and treated for use in the production of various food items, thus the water as to be of| Potable standard, Consequently, the resulting wastewater will lso have to be teated for release to the river that isin close proximity to the factory, Table 1 below shows the water quality parameters and the relevant standard at each stage ‘Table 1.

Name two units that could be added to your wastewater treatment plant to attain the required effluent quality standard, Give a reason for your choice, tol 1) Give a step by step procedure for testing for BOD, detailing volumes, times and temperature considerations a ©) Explain how the secondary treatment unit you chose in part (a) works. Include a labelled of the unit and important reactions. ny The following description is relevant for question 3 and question 4 only. A material recovery facility that processes municipal solid waste specializes in particle size reduction of glass and plastic for export. The grinding house emits dust with an average particle size of 10 microns, The separated garbage i further processed to RDF-3 which is used to fuel the boiler.
