This set of Waste Water Engineering Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Instrumentation used in a Water Treatment Plant”.
1. pH sensor must remain clean for an accurate reading.
a) True
b) False
View Answer
Explanation: For a pH sensor to maintain an accurate reading, the sensor must remain clean. Specifically, the glass measuring electrode cannot become coated and the reference electrode assembly must not become coated, plugged or otherwise contaminated by the process solution.
2. _______ is suited for open channel monitoring applications.
a) pH sensor
b) Ultrasonic technology
c) Infrared technology
d) Monitoring meters
View Answer
Explanation: Ultrasonic level technology has been uncontested as the standard for level and OCM applications in the water industry.

a) 2
b) 3
c) 4
d) 5
View Answer
Explanation: There are three types are time control systems present in wastewater engineering. They are digital, analog and automatic control systems.
9. What is modern data acquisition systems called?
a) CADA
b) SCADA
c) CAED
d) CAD
View Answer
Explanation: Data acquisition systems effectively accumulate, format, record and display data transmitted by sensors. Modern data acquisition systems are called as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems.
10. What is the price of water process analyser?
a) Rs. 380
b) Rs. 485
c) Rs. 525
d) Rs. 695
View Answer
Explanation: Water process analyser consists of single and dual Channels with a one step, push button calibration which displays DO and temperature for each channel.
