Fecal Coliform (FC) concentration in river water was measured as 10780 cfu/100 ml. The FC concentration after the conventional water treatment, but before chlorination, was measured as $23 \mathrm{cfu} / 100 \mathrm{ml}$. The 'Log Kill' (inactivation) of FC due to the conventional water treatment is closest to

The Surface Overflow Rate (SOR) in a rectangular sedimentation tank is $45 \mathrm{~m}^3 / \mathrm{m}^2 / \mathrm{d}$. Minimum diameters of spherical inorganic and organic particles expected to be completely removed in this tank are calculated. Assume that Stoke's law is applicable. Which of the following options is/are correct: Specific gravity of inorganic particles $=2.65$ Specific gravity of organic particles $=1.20$ Acceleration due to gravity $(\mathrm{g})=9.81 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$ Kinematic viscosity $(v)=1 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{~m}^2 / \mathrm{s}$

A water treatment plant has a sedimentation basin of depth 3 m, width 5 m, and length 40 m. The water inflow rate is 500 m3/h. The removal fraction of particles having a settling velocity of 1.0 m/h is ________. (round off to one decimal place) (Consider the particle density as 2650 kg/m3 and liquid density as 991 kg/m3)
