Laboratory testing methods xxii.Operator troubleshooting concepts 1. CT Calculation A water plant maintains a chlorine residual of 1.8 mg/L leaving the contact basin. The effective contact time is 35 minutes. What is the CT value? A. 36 B. 45 C. 63 D. 72 Formula CT = C × T C = concentration (mg/L) T = time (minutes) Solution CT = 1.8 × 35 CT = 63 Answer: C 2. Required Contact Time A system requires a CT of 80 to achieve pathogen inactivation. If the chlorine residual is 2.5 mg/L, what contact time is required? A. 20 min B. 28 min C. 32 min D. 40 min Formula T = CT / C Solution T = 80 ÷ 2.5 T = 32 minutes Answer: C 3. Chlorine Residual Required A plant must achieve a CT of 100 with a 40-minute contact time. What chlorine residual is required? A. 1.5 mg/L B. 2.0 mg/L C. 2.5 mg/L D. 3.0 mg/L Formula C = CT / T Solution C = 100 ÷ 40 C = 2.5 mg/L Answer: C Section 2 – Pump Horsepower 4. Pump Horsepower Calculation A pump moves 500 gpm against 120 ft of head. Pump efficiency = 75% What is the required horsepower? A. 15 HP B. 18 HP C. 20 HP D. 25 HP Formula HP = (Flow × Head) / (3960 × efficiency) Efficiency = decimal Solution HP = (500 × 120) / (3960 × 0.75) HP = 60000 / 2970 HP ≈ 20.2 Answer: C 5. Pump Power Requirement A pump moves 800 gpm against 90 ft head with 70% efficiency. HP = ? Formula HP = (Q × H) / (3960 × efficiency) Solution HP = (800 × 90) / (3960 × 0.70) HP = 72000 / 2772 HP ≈ 26 HP Section 3 – Chemical Dosage Calculations 6. Chemical Feed Calculation A plant treats 5 MGD of water with 2 mg/L chlorine. How many pounds of chlorine per day are required? A. 60 lbs B. 83 lbs C. 90 lbs D. 120 lbs Formula lbs/day = MGD × mg/L × 8.34 Solution lbs/day = 5 × 2 × 8.34 = 83.4 Answer: B 7. Alum Dosage A plant treats 3 MGD with 25 mg/L alum. How many pounds per day are required? Solution lbs/day = 3 × 25 × 8.34 = 625.5 lbs/day 8. Fluoride Feed A system treats 2 MGD and requires 1 mg/L fluoride. lbs/day = ? Solution lbs/day = 2 × 1 × 8.34 = 16.68 lbs/day Section 4 – Detention Time 9. Basin Detention Time A sedimentation basin holds 500,000 gallons. Flow = 2 MGD Detention time = ? A. 4 hours B. 6 hours C. 8 hours D. 12 hours Formula Detention time = Volume / Flow Convert MGD → gallons per day 2 MGD = 2,000,000 gal/day Solution 500,000 / 2,000,000 = 0.25 days 0.25 × 24 = 6 hours Answer: B 10. Contact Tank Time Tank volume = 150,000 gallons Flow = 1.5 MGD Solution 1.5 MGD = 1,500,000 gal/day 150000 / 1500000 = 0.1 days 0.1 × 24 = 2.4 hours
