ABSTRACT
Fecal coliform a type of bacteria found in the bodily discharges of warm-blooded animals. Used as an indicator organism. Floe solids that join together to form larger particles that will settle better. Flume a flow rate measurement device. Food-to-microorganism ratio (F/M) an activated sludge process control calculation based upon die amount of food (BOD5 or COD) available per pound of mixed liquor volatile suspended solids. Grab sample an individual sample collected at a randomly selected time. Grit heavy inorganic solids, such as sand, gravel, egg shells, or metal filings. Industrial wastewater wastes associated with industrial manufacturing processes. lnfiltration/inflow extraneous flows in sewers; defined by Metcalf & Eddy (1991), pp. 29-31 as follows: —Infiltration water entering the collection system through cracks, joints, or breaks. —Steady inflow water discharged from cellar and foundation drains, cooling water
discharges, and drains from springs and swampy areas. This type of inflow is steady and is identified and measured along with infiltration.
