Decibel
The decibel (dB) is a logarithmic unit that expresses the ratio of two values of a
physical quantity, often poweror intensity. One of these quantities is often a
reference value and in this case the decibel expresses the absolute level of the
physical quantity. The number of decibels is ten times the logarithm to base 10 of
the ratio of two power quantities,[1] or of the ratio of the squares of two
field amplitude quantities. One decibel is one tenth of one bel, named in honor
of Alexander Graham Bell; however, the bel is seldom used.

pH value can be less than 0 or greater than 14 for very strong acids and bases
respectively. However, these extremes are difficult to measure precisely. [1]
The rest of this article uses the technically correct word "base" and
its inflections in place of "alkaline", which specifically refers to a base dissolved in
water[citation needed], and its inflections.

inland waters (running and standing waters, both fresh and saline, natural
or man-made). This includes the study
of lakes and ponds, rivers, springs, streamsand wetlands.[1] A more recent
sub-discipline of limnology, termed landscape limnology, studies,
manages, and conserves these aquatic ecosystems using a landscape
perspective. Limnology is closely related to aquatic
ecology and hydrobiology, which study aquatic organisms in particular
regard to their hydrological environment. Although limnology is sometimes
equated with freshwater science, this is erroneous since limnology also
comprises the study of inland salt lakes.

Microbes

Microorganisms are very diverse and include all the bacteria and archaea and
almost all the protozoa. They also include some fungi, algae, and
certain animals, such as rotifers. Many macroscopic animals and plants have
microscopic juvenile stages. Some microbiologists also
classify viruses (and viroids) as microorganisms, but others consider these as
nonliving.[2][3]

processes. When nutrients from the benthos cannot travel up into the photic
zone, phytoplankton may be limited by nutrient availability. Lower primary
production also leads to lower net productivity in waters.[2]

Experiment No. 6: SVI
Sludge

SVI
Sludge Volume Index (SVI) is used to describe the settling characteristics of sludge in
the aeration tank in Activated Sludge Process.[1] It is a process control parameter to
determine the recycle rate of sludge. It was introduced by Mohlman in 1934, and has
become the standard measure of the physical characteristics of activated sludge
processes. It is defined as 'the volume (in ml) occupied by 1 gram of activated sludge
after settling the aerated liquor for 30 minutes'.
SVI (ml/gm) = settled sludge volume/sample volume (ml/l) * 1000 (mg/g)/ suspended
solid concentration (m/l)

MLSS
The total weight of MLSS within an aeration tank can be calculated by multiplying
the concentration of MLSS (mg/L) in the aeration tank by the tank volume (L).
