Q1.
Where are the coagulation processes taking place in water )a(
treatment plant squence? Why? Show your answer with aid of sketch
? indicate the point where the cougulant is added? Why

( b ) A rapid sand filter received flow of 41667 liter/hour with

filtration velocity of 8.50 m3 /m2 /d. Determine number of filters
needed and area of each filter?
Hint: N = 0.044√Q where; Q in m3/d

( c ) What is pH? Write significance of pH in (i) control of softening,

(ii) chlorination, and (iii) corrosion.

.Q2
(a) Determine the daily requirement quantity in kilogram of
alum, lime and polyelectrolyte to coagulate a flow of 36400 m3/d ,
if the result of the jar test indicated optimum coagulation when 1
liter of water was dosed with 5ml of a 10 g/L alum solution ,2 ml
of a 10 g/L suspension of lime and 0.3 mg/L of a commercial
polyelectrolyte .

(b) What are the necessary protection measures have to be taken

to secure water quality in water supply system?

1
 What are the main reasons of hardness in raw ) c(
waters? What methods are used to remove it? How can be
?measured and its impacts
.Q3
( a) A wastewater treatment plant discharge to near by river
an effluent of 420 m3/min. with BOD5 of 50 mg/l. the water
flow in the river as 1600 m3/min. with BOD5 of 6 mg/l.
Determine the value of BOD5 for the mixture at down
stream.
Hint: Pm [ 1+ (Qr /Qw )] = Pw + Pr ( Qr /Qw ) - all Qs in m3/s

Briefly mention the different methods used for water )b(

disinfection, which one is more common used for water
?distributions. Why
Determine the needed contact time for disinfectant to kill )c(
99.99 % of microorganisms if the death rate of microorganisms is
.0.06 per second
Hint:- t = - ( 1/k) log (N/No) , where N= number of living
microorganisms at time t , No = number of living
microorganisms at time t = 0
Q4.
( a ) “ Reverse Osmosis (R.O) is the most common process for reducing
the salinity of brackish groundwater” .What is the mechanism of
this process and what is most important data needed when selecting
this type of treatment?

( b ) What are the most important parameters that should be kept in

mind when selection the type of desalination process .

( c ) Mention the difficulties that facing desalination plants in Libya .

What is your suggestions to coup with these problems ?
