If you thicken your solids from 4% to 6% and you typically pump 12,000 gallons per day of 4%, how many gallons of 6% solids will you pump?

 

A lift station is equipped with three pumps, each rated at 175 gpm.   The wet well is 20 feet long, 10 feet wide, and 9 feet deep.  The average influent flow is 0.5 mgd.

  • With no influent flow, one pump will empty the wet well in _______ minutes

 

  • With no influent flow and one pump running, the water level in the wet well will drop ________ feet in 10 minutes

 

Given this lab data, calculate the TSS in mg/L

  • Tare Weight  =  20.0012 g
  • Final Dry Weight  =  20.0015 g
  • Sample Volume  =  50 mL

 

Your sludge pump has one 12-inch piston with a 9-inch stroke.  It is rated at 50 RPM and is set to pump 2 minutes every 10 minutes.  The total solids concentration is 5%.  If the temperature of the raw sludge is 50oF and the digester is at 95oF, how many BTUs are required to warm the sludge?

 

Your sludge pump has one 12-inch piston with a 9-inch stroke.  It is rated at 50 RPM and is set to pump 2 minutes every 10 minutes.  The total solids concentration of the sludge is 5% and the volatile solids concentration is 70%.  Your digester typically produce 12 cubic feet of digester gas per pound of volatile solids fed to the digester and averages 650 BTU/cubic foot of digester gas, how many BTUs should be produced?
