This document contains a midterm test for a Chemical Engineering department. It has two types of questions:
1. Multiple choice (20%): 10 multiple choice questions test knowledge of activated sludge processes, settling properties, and filamentous bacteria.
2. Open answer (80%): Questions assess the differences between contact stabilization and extended aeration processes, the biological nitrogen removal process and carbon addition, how to solve rising sludge problems, calculations to determine suspended solids, SVI, SOUR, and maximum biomass production rate from given data. Students are asked to analyze and explain sludge properties and kinetics.
