You have the intention to build a house in a rural community with limited facilities, hence you need to install a septic tank and drill a well for drinking water. Having considered the location and proximity of both the septic tank and the drinking water well, explain the steps you may take to ensure that the drinking water will not be contaminated by leakages from the septic tank in accordance with government regulation.

Will the MLVSS increase, decrease or stay about the same? c. Will the sludge settling characteristics improve, stay about the same, or worsen? d. Will the effluent BOD concentration increase, decrease, or stay about the same? 3. Filamentous bacteria that cause sludge foaming in activated sludge treatment systems differ from the desirable floc-forming bacteria in several aspects of their metabolism. First, filamentous bacteria have different growth curves than floc-forming bacteria as shown in the figure below. Second, filamentous bacteria use only oxygen as an electron acceptor and cannot use nitrate for that function; floc-forming…
