- B.
Rapid Mix, Sedimentation, Flocculation, Chlorination, Filtration
- C.
Rapid Mix, Flocculation, Sedimentation, Filtration, Chlorination
- D.
Chlorination, Rapid Mix, Flocculation, Sedimentation, Filtration
- 2.What is the purpose of the LFOM?
- A.
To maintain a linear relationship between water height and flow in the plant
- B.
To control the flow rate of the plant
- C.
To mix the coagulant with the raw water
- D.
All of the above
- 3.True or False: The chemical dose controller regulates the amount of coagulant that is added to the raw water.
- A.
True
- B.
False
- 4.The rapid mix pipe
- A.
Sends water from the entrance tank to the flocculator
- B.
Obtains adequate mixing of the coagulant with the raw water
- C.
Replaces conventional rapid mix units which require a lot of energy
- D.
All of the above
- 5.True or False: The goal of flocculation is to cause particles to break apart
- A.
True
- B.
False
- 6.In a vertical flocculator, water flows over and under baffles, creating a velocity gradient that forces particles in the water to collide.
- A.
True
- B.
False
- 7.True or False: The floc weir controls the height of the floc blanket
- A.
True
- B.
False
- 8.How does the settled water flow into the stacked rapid sand filter?
- A.
The water flows through four inlet pipes, filtered through one layer of sand, and then leaves through an adjacent pipe
- B.
The water flows into the top of the filter, trickle down through all the layers of sand, then leaves through the bottom pipe
- C.
The water flows into the bottom of the filter, moves up through all the layers of the sand, and exits from a pipe at the top of the filter box
- 9.What is the purpose of a ram pump as part of an AguaClara plant?
- A.
To raise a small portion of treated water to a higher elevation
- B.
To fill the chemical stock tanks with water
- C.
To reduce the burden placed on the plant operator
- D.
All of the above
- 10.What are the significant differences between the AguaClara water treatment systems that have been implemented in Honduras and those which have been implemented thus far in India?
- A.
The systems in Honduras contain an entire treatment train while the systems implemented in India consist of only a filter and doser.
- B.
The systems in India treat well water while the systems in Honduras treat surface water.
- C.
The systems in India treat a lower flow rate of water than the systems in Honduras.
- D.
All of the above
