A large, aerated lagoon is to be used to treat wastewater from a small community. The wastewater flow is 0.05 m³/s. The influent (input) wastewater contaminant concentration is 250 mg/L. The required effluent (output) concentration is 30 mg/L. It was found that the waste degrades according to first order kinetics. The degradation coefficient (k) for the reaction is 0.52 d'. You may assume that the lagoon is completely mixed and that conditions in the system are at steady state. Determine: a) The required volume of the lagoon b) The hydraulic detention time of the lagoon
