3. Attempt any THREE of the following: 12M

3.(a) Describe the principle behind sedimentation with coagulation. 4M
Ans:
Principle of coagulation can be explained by following two considerations.

(a) Floc formation:

When a coagulant is added to water and mixed thoroughly and thick gelatinous
precipitate 'Floc' is formed. Floc attracts and arrests the colloidal particles and 2M
makes them settle down.
(b) Electrical charges:
Ions from floc possess positive electric charge. Colloidal particles possess
negatively charged ions. The floc thus attracts colloidal particles and makes them 2M
settle down.

3.(b) Describe the theory of filteration. 4M

Ans:

Theory of Filteration-

The filtration process is carried out in following four actions- 1M

1) Mechanical Straining: each
Sand consists of small pores, therefore suspended particles which are larger (for
in size, can not pass through sand bed. Small particles of suspended four
impurities adhere causing further reduction in pore size. This increase the steps)
straining action.
2) Sedimentation:

Model Answer PHE 22504 Winter-2019 Page 5/13

 The voids act as small settling basins. The particles are arrested due to
gelatinous film formation and attraction between particles.
3) Biological Action:
Suspended impurities contain some portion of organic impurities like algae,
etc. and form a layer. This food consumed by micro organisms with
chemical and biological action.
4) Electrolytic action:
Sand particles of filter media carry electrical charges of opposite nature.
They therefore attract each other and are neutralized. The characteristics of
water are thus changed. Washing of filter media renews the electrical
charges.

3.(d) Describe the backwashing of rapid sand filter with neat labeled sketch. 4M
Ans:
Back washing of rapid sand filter-

A separate overhead tank is constructed near the filter house to store the water
required for back washing of filter.
A pump is installed to lift the sufficient quantity of filtered water to be stored in
wash water tank.

Model Answer PHE 22504 Winter-2019 Page 6/13

 Operation -

1. Initially, the valves (1) and (4) are closed and valves (5) and (6) are opened
out.
2. The wash water and compressed air are thus forced upwards from the
under- drainage through the gravel and sand beds.
3. Valve (5) is closed after supplying the required amount of air. 2M

6) De chlorination
7) Break point chlorination

Model Answer PHE 22504 Winter-2019 Page 7/13

 Break point chlorination- (Ref. fig.)

• The chlorine, when added to the water, forms the function of killing
bacteria first and then starts accumulating up to point A, as shown in graph.
• Further addition of chlorine shows sudden decrease in residual chorine up to
point B. This is because of oxidation of organic matter in water.
3M
• The point B on graph Q is called Breakpoint.
• As any chlorine that is added beyond this point breaks through the water
and appears as residual chlorine. This type is called as break point
chlorination.

5.(a) Describe the process of coagulation. Explain the procedure of Jar test with 6M
neat labeled sketch.
Ans:
Coagulation-
The process of adding certain chemicals in water, in order to form insoluble, and
gelatinous precipitation (or floc) which becomes heavier and finally settles down is 1M
known as Coagulation.
Jar Test-
This test is performed to determine optimum chemical dose in the laboratory.
Procedure-
1) Fill the 6 jars with 1000 ml water sample.
2) Add the coagulant dose in increasing order and stir the sample with 60-80
RPM for one minute.
3) After one minute reduce the speed of stirrer to 30 RPM for 15 minutes. 3M
4) Then turn off the mixer and allow water to settle for 30 minutes.
5) Observe and measure the turbidity of each jar sample.
6) The coagulant quantity, with good floc formation, will be the optimum dose
of coagulant.

5.(b) Describe in detail, the procedure of laying sewers. 6M
Ans:
Procedure of laying sewers- For laying sewers as per the alignment, first trial
holes are dug to know the strata and positions of manholes is finalized. Rest of the
procedure is as follows-
1) Marking centre lines of sewers: The centre lines of sewers are marked on the
streets and roads by driving the pegs at 7.5 to 15 m c/c & locating sewer 1M
Each
appurtenances by offset line method. (for six
2) Excavation of trenches: After marking the layout of sewers lines on the ground steps)
the first step is the removal of pavement and then excavation of trenches is done
manually or by means of machinery
3) Sheeting, bracing and dewatering of trenches: In case of soft soils the trench
side required shoring and strutting to prevent their collapse till the sewers are laid
and tested. When sewers lines are to be lead below the ground water table, the

Model Answer PHE 22504 Winter-2019 Page 10/13

 ground water enters the trench, dewatering of tranches is compulsory.
4) Laying of pipe sewers and their jointing: The sewers pipes are not laid
directly on the soil in the tranches. Before actual laying, the concreting is done.
Smaller size pipes can be laid by the pipe layers by hand only but larger size pipes
are lowered in the trenches by passing rope around them and supporting through a
hook. Then jointing of sewers is done by usual method.

5) Testing of sewers lines: The hydraulic testing of the sewers is done with the
help of water test or air test by usual method.

6) Back filling of trenches: After testing and removing defects of pipe line the
tranches are back-filled with earth. Generally the excavated soil of trench is used
for back filling. Back filling is done step by step.

Ans:
Systems of Sewerage are- ½M
1) Combined System each
2) Separate System (for
3) Partially Separate System three)

Separate system-

When two different sewers are laid to carry sanitary sewage & storm water,
it is called separate system. The storm water collected can be directly
discharged into the water body since, the run-off is not as foul as sewage 1½M
and no treatment is generally provided. Whereas, the sewage collected from
the city is treated adequately before it is discharged into the water body or
used for irrigation to meet desired standards.

Merits -1) Quantity of treatment is small, hence economical design of 1½M

treatment works, 2) Cheaper than combined system, 3) No fear of stream (any
pollution, 4) Storm water can be discharged in to natural streams, 5) three)

Ans:
Working of trickling filter- Trickling filter consists of RCC rectangular or circular
tank provided with filter media (stones or broken bricks material) and under
1M
drainage system to collect the effluent. Revolving distributor having four arms.

Sewage is distributed or sprays by distribution arms through which it

trickles to the under drains. As sewage trickles through the filter media, a biological 2M
slime layer consisting of aerobic bacteria build up around the media surfaces in two
weeks makes the filter ready for use. Organic matter in sewage is absorbed by
bacteria in slime layer. It removes 80% colloidal matter, reduces B.O.D. up to 75%.
It gives highly nitrified and stabilized effluent and flexibility in operation
