Engineering Assignment
The Scenario:
You have contracted with the city named Small Town, USA, to design and engineer a municipal industrial waste pre- treatment facility. The city currently accepts liquid wastes from three significant industrial users (SIU): (a) a petroleum refinery, (b) an animal rendering plant, and (c) a tanker truck washout. In an effort to capture revenue, the city is currently accepting the liquid waste physically hauled by tanker truck from all three SIU members and is subsequently collecting the liquid wastes into a 300,000 gallon storage tank, pending your facility design.
The city wants to be able to effectively treat and neutralize the liquid waste, landfill or reuse the sludge in an agriculture application, and discharge the neutralized treatment plant effluent water to the existing municipal (residential) wastewater plant for final treatment after successfully meeting the local limits for each analyte.
The current waste profile has been analyzed at a local environmental chemical testing laboratory. This is the lab report at 30ºC:
Analyte Concentration (mg/L or ppm) Local Limits (mg/L or ppm)
BOD 4200 1300
COD 6000 2400
TSS 800 160
pH 5.5 6.0-9.0
TDS 5000 200
TOC 1300 150
Cyanides 3 0.5
Phenols 15 12
Cadmium 15 2
Chromium (trivalent) 5 0.25
Iron 800 50
H2S (hydrogen sulfide) 6 0.5
TPH (total petroleum hydrocarbons) 1600 640
Instructions:
1. Closely read the Required Reading assignment from Bahadori (2014) and the Unit Lesson within the Study Guide.
2. Use APA style (title page, body with level one headings, and a reference page) for a research paper, and begin drafting a proposal document. You will add to this document in every unit with another level one heading.
3. Since this is a project that you add to throughout the course, make your Unit I work your first level one heading, titled “Municipal Situation,” and describe the scenario that is presented above. You are required to describe the scenario in at least one page.
2 Degree Of Sonar Equation

Safety Eng 2
Access and review the Chemical Safety Board (CSB) final report for the metal dust flash fires and hydrogen explosion that occurred at the Hoeganaes facility in Gallatin, TN. Click here to access a copy of the report. Write a review of the case that is a minimum of two pages in length, not including title and reference pages. The review should answer the following questions at a minimum:
What were the main factors that caused the flash fires and explosion? Explain how unidentified hazards can result in catastrophic events.
Do you believe the facility performed adequate job hazard analyses (JHAs)? Compare different techniques for performing a JHA, and discuss which technique(s) you believe the facility should have used.
Could improvements to JHA techniques have eliminated the flash fires and explosion?
What were the company’s responsibilities related to identifying combustible dust hazards based on the absence of an OSHA standard for combustible dusts? Be sure to distinguish between physical and health hazards.
How do you believe JHAs should be used in the process safety management (PSM) program? Explain how an effective job hazard analysis improves the effectiveness of a safety and health management program.
The CSB final report and any additional sources you use must be cited in the text and references provided in APA style.
