Sheet (1)
1- Which of the following is not a source of sewage flow in case of using
Combined sewerage system?
- Infiltration water. - Commercial water.
- Storm water. - Agricultural Waste water.

2- Which of the following topics does not affect the design of

Waste Water Treatment Plant?
- Served Population. - Type of Sewerage System.
- WWTP design period. - The sewer's material.

3- Which of the following cases requires the disposal of wastewater in the

Sea.
- Untreated wastewater - Primary treated wastewater
- Secondary treated wastewater - Tertiary treated wastewater

4- The approximate ratio between BOD: COD is

- 3:2 - 2:3
- 1:2 - 2:1

5- Which two of the following parameters are not indicators of Water

Biological Pollution
- TDS - Fecal Coliform
- BOD - TN
6- The percentage of dissolved solids in wastewater to the total solids is:
- 30% -50%
- 70% - 90%

7- Re-arrange the primary wastewater treatment steps, joining each step

with its purpose.
1-Approach channel a - Removal of floating objects.
2- Deceleration tank b - Reduce the sewage velocity.
3- Fine Screen c - Transmit sewage with suitable velocity.

8- What are the different sources of wastewater?

‫ما هى مصادر المخلفات السائلة؟‬

9- Draw a detailed lay out for a Complete Mix Activated Sludge

wastewater plant.
‫ارسم نموذج لمحطة متكاملة لمعالجة مياه الصرف الصحى باستخدام طريقة الحمأة النشطة‬
.‫المزج الكلى‬

10- Explain the purposes of different stages of wastewater treatment

(preliminary, primary, secondary and advanced treatment).
‫ما هو الغرض من المراحل المختلفة لمعالجة مياه الصرف الصحى (المعالجة التمهيدية‬
‫والمعالجة االبتدائية و المعالجة الثانوية والمعالجة المتقدمة)؟‬

11- Explain the water quality parameters which indicate the following:
a) Waste water physical characteristics (4 parameters)
b) Waste water chemical characteristics (4 parameters)
c) Waste water Biological characteristics (3 parameters)
12- For a town of population 150000 capita and an average daily water
consumption of 200 liters per capita. If the population increased at a rate
of 1.9 per year, find the following:

a) Population after 40 years using Increasing factor method.

b) If the increase of water consumption is 10% of the increase of

population, find the future average water consumption (qav) of this
town.

c) If a waste water treatment plant of (40 years’ design period) is

designed to feed this town, calculate maximum design and

minimum sewage flow (Qd) and (Qmin).

13- A waste water treatment plant feeds a city of 100,000 persons as a

design population, taking its raw waste water from a main collector with
invert level (10.00).
If the design average water consumption is 180 l/c/d, the water level of
the deceleration tank at WWTP is (25.00), and the length of raw waste
water line between P.S. and deceleration tank (Rising Main) is 1500 m. It
is required to:
a- Choose a suitable type of a waste water P.S
b- Determine the volume and dimensions of the waste water well,
c- Determine Pumps’ head and discharge
d- Design Suction and delivery pipes for each pump
e- Design Force main.
f- Calculate the cost of annual consumed power of WWTP, if the
price of kWh is 0.50 L.E.,
14- A community has an estimated future population of 42000 capita
after 20 years. The present population is 30000 capita and the average
water consumption is 12000 m3/d. The existing waste water treatment
plant has a design capacity of 35000 m3/d. Assuming population growth
according to Increasing factor method, determine in what year the
existing plant will need to be extended.
