Unit Operations, Screening and Aeration

This set of MCQs helps students to learn about unit Operations which are the physical operations to remove the impurities present in the water and waste water, screening defined as a wastewater pre-treatment, which aims to prevent coarse solids, such as plastics, rags and other trash, from entering a sewage system or treatment plant. and aeration which is used to oxidize soluble iron and manganese (found in many well waters) to insoluble precipitates.
