Evaluation of physico-chemical parameters of waste water from Federal Polytechnic Nekede Fish Farm and their impacts on water quality - case study of Federal Polytechnic Nekede fish pond Department:Civil Engineering By: bobyuzee Project ID: 5043 Rating: (3.3) votes: 6 Price:₦5000 Get the Complete MaterialAbstractIn this study, we want to assess the level of pollution in fish pond water before it can be discharged. We collected four samples, two days intervals to check the level of pollution in the pond water as the day goes. The samples were subjected to laboratory analysis to ascertain their physical and chemical properties. Ten physico-chemical parameters were carried out on fish pond wastewater. The results showed variation in the observed parameters at the different sampling. Temperature was 23.0-25.9ºC, ph was 6.24-6.68, Ammonia-nitrogen (NH3) was 0.9-0.15mg/l, Dissolved oxygen values was 13.3-9.3mg/l, Biological oxygen demand was 2.9-3.53mg/l, Total alkalinity was 43.1-50.4mg/l. Total Dissolved solids was 27.9-95.2mg/l, Total hardness was 19.7-21.5mg/l, Turbidity was 125-170 NTU. Electrical conductivity was 137.6 and 144.3µmhos/cm. This result showed that as the day goes the level of pollution increases. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Civil Engineering project topics and materials you might be interested in»Comparing the compressive strength of concrete made with sand as fine aggregate and with chipping dust as fine aggregate»The comparative study of the compressive strength of concrete made with granite to that made with river round stone (pebble) and local stone»The use of computer in civil engineering»Importance of timber in civil engineering construction»Construction and Installation of a Panel Door»Construction of wardrobe key study on wood work»Effect of street trading on traffic performance and control»Assessment of different types of foundation and their mode of construction»Comparison of soil bearing capacity of different locations in Imo state»Investigation into the suitability of sand and gravel materials commonly used in building construction»Investigating the effect of partial replacement of cement with eggshell powder in concrete production»An investigation in to the causes of cracks in building and possible solutions - a case study of Kukar Gesa community in Katsina metropolis»Determination of the causes, effects of environmental pollution and its possible control within Kwara and Osun state»Suitability of available laterite material in Ilorin East local government area for road construction»Model for prediction of rainfall intensity in Lagos
