2006 Q4 a) The greatest decline took place between 1965 and 1970. 700‚000 metric tons - 200‚000 metric tons = 500‚000 metric tons 500‚000 metric tons/5 years = 100‚000 metric tons per year the gorundfish harvest depleted by aproximately 100 thousand metric tons per year between 1965 and 1970. b) Bottom trawling is the act of scraping the bottom of a fishing area with a large net in order to catch fish. The net‚ however‚ catches more than the intended product. The nets destroy the bottom vegetation

Relevant design parameters are * BOD load from the upstream process * Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids Concentration (MLSS – mg/l) – typically 2‚000 to 4‚000 * Sludge Age 5 to 25 days * Sludge settleabiltiy (SVI ml/g) typically 100-120 * Process Oxygen Demand (POD) * Generally fine bubble diffusers used in modern plant design – actual oxygen transfer efficiency dependent

systems of disposal‚ even into the sea. Ideally‚ all wastewater should be collected as sewage‚ treated and recycled for some use or another. The obstacle to this is that sewage treatment plants should be sited close to the sea‚ a perennial river or a large lake‚ to receive water which has been treated but is unsuitable for re-use. The implication is that sewage plants should be placed close to the sea and sewage piped to them or‚ if they are sited inland‚ pipes to the sea will need to be installed

DEFINITION ANAEROBIC POND Anaerobic ponds are deep treatment ponds that exclude oxygen and encourage the growth of bacteria‚ which break down the effluent. It is in the anaerobic pond that the effluent begins breaking down in the absence of oxygen "anaerobically". The anaerobic pond acts like an uncovered septic tank. Anaerobic bacteria break down the organic matter in the effluent‚ releasing methane and carbon dioxide. Sludge is deposited on the bottom and a crust forms on the surface as show in

creating hydraulic profiles for sewage treatment plants. Background During my last 20 years of experience working in the design of wastewater treatment plants‚ there were no two identical treatment plants. Each plant has its unique process‚ site layout and facilities. Consequently‚ hydraulic profiles are different and each plant was evaluated separately. The only similarity is the concept and the procedure that was followed in order to prepare the hydraulic profile. The following will

Kalamazoo wastewater treatment plant On October 22‚ 2011‚ a group of students from the class of CHEG 2610 visited the Kalamazoo Water Reclamation Plant (KWRP) to learn more about the process to treat wastewater around the Kalamazoo area. To clean up the water‚ the KWRP used the Activated Sludge‚ which is a biological treatment technique in which a mixture of wastewater and biological sludge (microorganisms) is agitated and aerated. The Kalamazoo wastewater treatment plant has been renewed since

“Primary Treatment of wastewater consists of the removal of insoluble matter such as grit‚ grease‚ and scum from water.” (Manahan‚ 2010) The first step of this treatment involves screening which prevents large solids from getting into the treatment process. This is followed by an oil and grease trap in which oil skimmers are used to separate oil and grease from the effluent. The separated oil and grease are then given to recyclers. From this the water is transferred to the collection tank and from
