The gas most commonly associated with septic wastewater is ✔✔hydogen sulfide In electrical circuits, a ______ is used to reduce the voltage where necessary. ✔✔transformer What causes the greatest pipe friction loss? ✔✔Increasing the velocity of wastewater T/F: Denitrification is the most likely cause of rising sludge in clarifiers. ✔✔True The amount of BOD in sludge entering a digester is an indirect measure of the ✔✔"food" available for bacteria in the digester. Chemical coagulation doses can be initially estimated by ✔✔jar tests. An incubator for the BOD test should be controlled at ____C. ✔✔30 degrees In certain situations, a supervisor encourages the employees to make their own decisions. This is considered to be ______ ✔✔highly desirable because it encourages employee growth and frees the supervisor for other tasks What peeice of lab equipment should be calibrated daily at a treament plant? ✔✔portable dissoved oxygen probe The ask content remaining at the end of a VSS test is the same as the ____. ✔✔inorganic solids A chlorine demand test will show the ______. ✔✔amount of chlorine required to give a desired residual after a given time. Jar tests may be used to determine the optimum dosage of ______. ✔✔polymer Which activated sludge process ccould handle shock loads of dairy waste most effectively? ✔✔a tapered aeration system When chlorine reacts with hydrogen sulfide gas, the hydrogen sulfide is ______. ✔✔oxidized and made odorless T/F: in the membrane filter method, the number of coliforms is estimated by the _____. ✔✔number of coloniew grown Decentralized authority describes the process of _______. ✔✔delegating power for decisions to lower levels [Show More]
