Unit I Project

Due: Tuesday, 02/25/2020 11:59 PM (CST)

Instructions
Over the course of these eight units, we will be developing a course project. We will do a single section of the course project in every unit by completing one section of the course project, and then adding to it with the subsequent work in the following unit. This unit work will be in the form of unit projects.

In following units (Units II, III, V, VI, and VIII), the Unit Lesson will contain an interactive model that will enable you to effectively select the most appropriate equipment and technology to engineer into your waste management system design for the facility. It is imperative that you read the Unit Lessons within the study guide in each unit, use the interactive model, and consider the current (as well as previous) material from Bahadoris (2014) textbook in every unit. This project will serve as a comprehensive demonstration of your applied learning of engineering industrial and hazardous waste treatment systems.

Your course project will be to develop a document titled A Proposal for an Industrial Waste Treatment Facility and will serve as a simulation of your work as a contract environmental engineer for a small, rural town in the United States.

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 30C:

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    012
Cadmium    15    2
Chromium (trivalent)    5    0.25
Iron    800    50
H2S (hydrogen sulfide)    6    0.5
TPH (total petroleum hydrocarbons)    1600    640
Instructions:

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

We are about to work through Bahadoris (2014) textbook related to waste management. As such, we are going to be discussing engineering principles related to industrial, solid, and hazardous wastes. Consequently, we must first consider what officially classifies wastes into one or more of these categories.

What are some examples of wastes that you perceive to likely be classified as industrial waste, solid waste, or hazardous waste?

Within this course you will submit parts of a research paper in each unit that will come together in Unit VII as the complete project. Review the Course Project Guidance document, which outlines all of the work you will submit for the course and provides a template for the final paper. Reviewing the document will provide insight and mental preparation for the scope of the course since the assignments will build upon one another. It also introduces the scenario you will utilize for every assignment in this course. Review the Sun Coast Remediation Data Files document. This document will be the source of data for your project, however, you will not begin working with the data until Unit IV. Note: The template provided is for the Unit VII Research Paper; you will submit parts of this paper in each unit. See the templates in each unit assignment.

For the Unit I assignment, you will use what you learned about research methodologies, primary and secondary sources, and reviewing literature to develop a literature review. This literature review will become part of the final course project due in Unit VII. Please access and utilize the template for this assignment.

Review articles in the CSU Online Library databases and other credible resources to locate six peer-reviewed, scholarly articles that relate to the Sun Coast business problems identified in the Course Project Guidance document. The articles you use should help inform your knowledge about the issues you are trying to solve for Sun Coast. The articles should also be quantitative research articles from primary and secondary sources. Try including words like correlation, regression, t test, and ANOVA in your keyword search criteria.

The article discussion should include the qualifications of the authors, purpose of the studies, research methodologies and designs used, results from the studies, and explanations of how the articles relate to Sun Coasts problem. Ensure that you also describe how you believe the research made a positive organizational impact.

The title and reference pages do not count toward the page requirement for this assignment. This assignment should be a minimum of two pages in length.

Prompt:
Each of the stories were reading by Washington Irving can be seen as a rebuke of some of the consequences of the Enlightenment. Irving seems to value the sleepy, rural lifestyle of the Dutch descendants who populate his tales, and the industrialization, political upheaval, and focus on monetary prosperity that comes with the young United States of America is a threat to that lifestyle. Explore how Irving expresses this Romantic rebuke of America in either The Legend of Sleepy Hollow or Rip Van Winkle by choosing at least two examples of this rebuke and discussing their significance. Consider talking about Irving’s use of characterization and/or symbolism to explore the problems associated with industrialization, political upheaval, and capitalism.

Here’s an example from “Rip Van Winkle” of the kind of thing I’m looking: After he awakens, Rip finds that the large tree that used to shelter the town’s elders is replaced with a “naked pole” with a cap on top of it. The tree might represent the Romantic notion that humans should live in harmony with nature. The pole represents the progressive attitudes of the Enlightenment (specifically, political progress). The fact that the “naked pole” is presented as a replacement for a tree that provided shelter, shows that the changes that took place while Rip was sleeping were often negative ones.
