A city discharges 1500 litres per second of sewage into a stream whose minimum rate of flow is 6000 litres per second. The temperature of sewage as well as water is 20°C. The 5 day B.O.D. at 20°C for sewage is 200 mg/l and that of river water is 1 mg/l. The D.O. content of sewage is zero, and that of the stream is 90% of the saturation D.O. If the minimum D.O. to be maintained in the stream is 4.5 mg/l, find out the degree of sewage treatment required. Assume the de-oxygenation coefficient as 0.1, and re-oxygenation coefficient as 0.3.

A wastewater treatment plant is operated at a steady state DO concentration of 1.5 mg/L. If the temperature of the wastewater is measured at 10 °C, a= 0.8 and B = 0.95 and the KLa reported by the aerator manufacturer at 20°C in tap water is 5 hrt, estimate the oxygen uptake rate (in mg/L-min) in the aeration basin. You can assume 0=1.024. If the aerator's oxygen transfer efficiency is 24%, what would be the mass of air (kg) required per hour in a 8500 m³ tank? What volumetric flow rate would you have to supply (m³/hr)? 3.
A trickling filter with a volume of 250 m3 is used to treat wastewater with flowrate 30,000 m3/d and BOD5 of 130 mg/L. The OLR in peak conditions is 1.6 times that of average conditions. Calculate the required oxygen supply per unit mass of BOD.
You are building a wastewater lagoon with an inlet/outlet flow rate of 3,100 m3/day. The BOD inlet load is 26 mg/L and you need to achieve 12 mg/L at the outlet. The half-life of BOD is 2.4 days. What is the volume required for the lagoon? If the wastewater stopped entering the lagoon and was replaced by freshwater, how long would it take for the outlet BOD concentration to reach 1 ppm?
A pharmaceutical wastewater needs a minimum BOD/N/P of 100/3.0/0.7 for biological treatment. The wastewater characteristics are BOD = 740 mg/l, suspended solids = 250 mg/l, soluble nitrogen = 10 mg/l, and soluble phosphorous = 5 mg/l. What ammonium nitrate and phosphoric acid additions would you recommend to ensure adequate nutrients for a daily flow of 28 m3/d?
A sample of diluted wastewater (diluted 10 times) has a 5-day biological oxygen demand (BOD) of 5 mg/L. If the rate constant is 0.1/d, assuming a first-order chemical reaction, the ultimate BOD of the original wastewater is most nearly (A) 0.50 mg/L (B) 5.0 mg/L (C) 13 mg/L (D) 130 mg/L
A city wishes to discharge wastewater primary effluent to a river which supports a trout. The state requires the city to show that the trout population is protected. Trout require a minimum of 4 mg/l of dissolved oxygen to survive. Determine the minimum downstream dissolved oxygen concentration from the following information about the wastewater discharge and river. Does the minimum dissolved oxygen concentration meet the requirements? Wastewater discharge=0.45m3/s, river flow rate= 8.5 m3/s, river cross-sectional area=19m2, dissolved Oxygen concentration in the wastewater= 0.2mg/l, dissolved oxygen content of the river upstream = 8.1mg/l, saturation dissolved oxygen concentration at 20 C= 9.0 mg/l, BOD concentration in wastewater = 85 mg/l, BOD concentration upstream in the river= 0.2 mg/l, BOD decay constant = 0.2 d-1, and the reaeration constant for the river= 0.4 d-1.
The lowest flow in the Ozama River in July is about 48 m3/s. The dissolved oxygen concentration of the river just upstream of the discharge point is 4 mg/l and the ultimate BOD of the river is 10 mg/l. A farm discharges 2m3/s of untreated wastewater with a dissolved oxygen concentration of 0.5 mg/l and an ultimate BOD of 300 mg/l. Both the river and the discharge are at 25°C. what is the initial oxygen deficiency after mixing (i.e., as soon as the wastewater and the river have mixed)? What is the ultimate initial BOD after mixing? Can the farm be allowed to continue discharging raw water? Justify your answer.

Characteristics of the stream at a location fairly upstream of A and of the effluent are as below: Item Units Effluent Stream m3 /s mg l1 Flow 0.20 0.50 Dissolved 0xygen 2.00 8.00 Temperature °C 26 22 BOD, at 20°C mgll 40 3. Assume that the deoxygenation constant K, at 20°C (base e) = 0.20 d-l and the re-aeration constant K, at 20°C (base e) Equilibrium concentration of dissolved oxygen C, for the fresh water is as follows: 0.40 d-1 for the mixture. %3D Temperature °C 18 20 22 23 24 25 26 C, (mg/1) 9.54 8.99 8.83 8.53 8.38 8.22 9.17 The velocity of the stream downstream of the point A is 0.2 m/s.

As an operator of a wastewater treatment facility, you have learned that your plant runs well at an SRT (based on MLVSS (X) in the aeration basin) of 12 days. If today’s MLVSS (X) concentration is 2,700 mg/L and the RAS (Xr) concentration is 5,500 mg/L, how many L of sludge should you waste from the secondary clarifier today? Other design conditions: Average influent flow = 12,000 m3/d Influent soluble BOD = 150 mg/L Required effluent TSS = 30 mg/L Aeration tank Volume = 1,000 m3
In a BOD test, the amount of organic matter remaining in the wastewater was measured at certain time intervals, instead of measuring the dissolved oxygen content. The amount of organic matterremaining after 4 and 9 d was measured as 52.86 mg/L and 8.11mg/L, respectively. Calculate the ultimate BOD and BOD rate constant k for the wastewater.
