(1) Given the typical water usage in the U.S. is approximately, 180 gallons per capita day; Estimate the population served by the James W. Jardine Water Purification Plant, Chicago, IL.

 

(2) During wastewater secondary treatment processes, air is added to the wastewater. Why is this step necessary?

 

(3) In dry seasons, the majority (~85%) of water in some rivers is the direct result of wastewater discharges and it is common practice for drinking water plants to treat this waster for potable supply. It is being suggested that we should skip the step of discharging wastewater into rivers and directly pump the wastewater to the drinking water plant for treatment. Would you be willing to use this water in your home as drinking water? Do you think this is a good idea (state why or why not)?

As the final and complete step of our course project (a proposal for an industrial and hazardous waste treatment facility), complete the last (seventh) section (cake solids disposal) of your proposal by following the instructions carefully. Draft a one paragraph abstract (insert the abstract immediately following the title page), and then submit your final copy of your completed proposal into Blackboard for grading.

Instructions:

1. Closely read the Required Reading assignment from Bahadori (2014) and the Unit Lesson within the Study Guide.

2. Open your proposal draft from Unit VI and make any improvements to your draft using your professor’s feedback from the Unit VI project assignment.

3. Open the Unit VIII Study Guide, read the unit lesson, strongly consider reading the article referenced in the suggested reading section, and then consider your filter cake disposal strategies available to you and your client.

4. Continue with your Unit VI Project and make your seventh level one heading titled “Cake Solids Disposal.” Describe the waste profiling process, the process of locating an appropriate site of final disposition for the filter cake, contracting with a landfill, and the paperwork associated with final disposal. You are required to describe the entire filter cake disposal process in at least one page.

5. Throughout the course you have continued to add pieces to the course project. After you have added the “Cake Solids Disposal” component to the project, review your project to be sure you have included all components from the course and incorporated feedback from the instructor. Along with the title page and reference list, create a one paragraph abstract following the title page that summarizes the entire project.

Demographic Transitions

Demographic transition is the process in which a nation transitions from being a less industrialized society, with high birth and death rates, to an industrialized nation, with lower birth and death rates. Many countries have already been through this transition including the United States, England, and Canada.

The demographic transition to an industrialized society is detrimental for the environment because industrialized societies tend to use up nonrenewable resources and give off pollution. Industrialized nations have the largest ecological and carbon footprint relative to developing or nonindustrialized countries. Fortunately, there are some benefits to the process of demographic transition, including lower birth and death rates. Essentially, people in industrialized countries have fewer children and this in turn helps control the overall population size.

Demographic transition involves the following five stages:

Stage 1	High birth rate, high death rate, low population size
Stage 2	High birth rate, decreasing death rate, increasing population size
Stage 3	Decreasing birth rate, decreasing death rate, increasing population size
Stage 4	Low birth rate, low death rate, high population size
Stage 5	Low birth rate, low death rate, population size decreasing

It should be noted that stage 5 is controversial, and it is sometimes not considered to be a stage. This is partially because so few countries are at this stage.

The following graph depicts the various stages of demographic transition:

 

Using the stages listed above, create a demographic and environmental timeline for one industrialized country, excluding the United States. The following are a few suggested industrialized nations:

· Canada

· England

· Germany

· Russia

· Italy

You can download the Demographic and Environmental Timeline—United States of America to review an example of such a timeline.

Include the following points in your timeline in order to examine the advantages and drawbacks of demographic transition in your selected country:

· Major historical changes that caused the shift from one stage to another (if available).

· Changing population size through time (increasing or decreasing).

· Increase or decrease of birth and death rates through time—particularly when considering the process of industrialization.

· Environmental impact of this transition.

· Dates (if available), series of events, and scholarly references for these items.

Support your timeline with appropriate examples and a minimum of three credible resources.

Present your timeline in a media that best displays the information you researched. This can be in Microsoft Word, or Microsoft PowerPoint. Apply APA standards to citation of sources. Use the following file naming convention: LastnameFirstInitial_M2_A2.doc, LastnameFirstInitial_M2_A2.xls, or LastnameFirstInitial_M2_A2.ppt.

By Wednesday, October 26, 2016, deliver your assignment to the M2: Assignment 2 Dropbox.

Assignment: UK Plans for Cutting CO2 Emissions

Background

While there are currently no active large-scale projects in the UK for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) or H2 storage, there are several plans for setting up centres around the country to reduce CO2 emissions. These include:

· CCS or CCUS (Carbon Capture Usage and Storage) from power stations & industrial plants

· Hydrogen generation with CCS

· Hydrogen Storage

You will, no doubt, have heard the announcement which the Government made on the 19th October regarding the UK’s Net Zero Strategy. Two industrial clusters have been selected for the first phase for developing decarbonisation – the East Coast Cluster and the HyNet Cluster. The Scottish cluster (Acorn project) is being held in reserve.

 

The task

In this assignment, you are asked to write a short report on the current plans for the UK centres (clusters) which are being set up to reduce emissions. These centres include north-east Scotland (Acorn), north-east England (Net Zero Teesside, Zero Carbon Humber and Northern Endurance Partnership) and north-west England (HyNet). There is plenty of information on these sites on the internet. If you find any other relevant information, you may include this in your report. The type of information to include is listed below.

The report should start with an introduction describing the following:

· UK and global emissions

· The locations and sources of the largest emitters?

· The emissions gap.

 

This should be followed by an outline of the processes involved in CCS, and in hydrogen storage.

· Location of site – onshore/offshore

· Companies involved

· The processes which will be carried out

· Any statistics you can find on the planned processes. This could include the following:

· Amount of CO2 stored

· Amount of energy used or produced

· Amount of hydrogen produced or stored

· Dates

· Funding

You may not be able to find all this information for every centre.

Note that, although the Scottish cluster is being kept in reserve by the Government, it is due to be developed later, and you should not ignore it.

Your report should finish with a conclusion. In particular, from your reading for this assignment, how likely is it, in your opinion, that the UK will be able to reduce the emissions gap, and achieve net zero emissions by 2045 (Scotland) or 2050 (England)?

Remember to include a list of references. You may include figures. The report should be approximately 2000 words long. Any text within tables, figures, or captions, as well as your reference list should not be included in the word limit.

You should be able to find most of the information you require on the internet. In addition, you may search for literature using online databases such as the university Library and ScienceDirect. Proper referencing and citation is very important.
