A rapidly mixed tank consists of a treatment unit used to disinfect a solution. The solution enters the 2000 m tank at a rate of 0.4 m/s. The pollutant contains 7.9* CFU per liter and has no 0 mg/l of chlorine. The treatment unit uses a stock solution containing 750 mg/L which is released a rate that will cause the chlorine concentration in the tank to be 2 mgL The chlorine reacts with the water in such a way that it is depleted at a rate (in mg/L-h) given by ra = (-0.45 / h) Ca. When exposed to chlorine, the bacteria die off at a rate (in cells/L-s) given by: 0.03 -Cct -Chact + Cd Thact Img a) Calculate the required flow rate in L/s of the stock solution when the system is operating at steady state, including a schematic of the system. b) Determine the bacterial concentration (in CFU/L) thar should be expected in the effluent from the tank?

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.
using thCNK Tormulas. 4 Consider the feasibility of treating the wastewater from the town of Nancy (Problem 12.31) in a single-stage trickling-filter plant, as diagrammed in Figure 12.21, using high- density cross-flow media with a specific surface area of 42 ft²/ft³. Use the same filter sur- face area as calculated for stone-media filtration in Problem 12.31 (A = 4600 ft²) and a recirculation ratio of 0.5. The design wastewater temperature is 15°C. As determined from laboratory testing, the soluble (filtered) BOD of the primary effluent is 100 mg/l or less, compared to the unsettled unfiltered BOD of 160 mg/l. The soluble effluent BOD concen- tration of trickling-filter plants treating similar wastewaters is approximately 50% of the unfiltered BOD concentration. From pilot-plant studies and full-scale experience, the manufacturer of the cross-flow media recommends a reaction-rate coefficient at 20°C of 0.0030 (gpm/ft2)0.5 for a media depth of 6.6 ft (2.0 m). From these data, calculate…
Wastewater is treated with an activated sludge plug flow reactor, similar to one seen at the Norman Water Reclamation Facility. The BOD5 after primary treatment is 100mg/L and the effluent limit is 5 mg/L BOD5. Use 1.00 h-1 as the maximum specific growth rate constant and typical values for the other biokinetic constants. The biomass concentration in the reactor is 2,500 mg/L MLSS based on a recycle ratio of 1. Calculate the mean cell residence time, in hours for this system
The secondary clarifier in the secondary treatment stage Has a uniform distribution of solids throughout its depth Further removes organic matter in the influent sewage by settlement Allows for the separation of the biomass from the treated wastewater Is optional in the activated sludge process because the bioreactor treats the sewage to sufficient effluent standards
The elimination of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts from treated secondary effluent was investigated using a tertiary filtration method. Oocyst counts in the filter influent and effluent were 100,000 and 300 per 100L, respectively. Calculate the removal efficiency using (2) the log reduction method and (1) the percentage method.

An activated-sludge system is to be used for secondary treatment of 15,000 m3/d of municipal wastewater. After primary clarification, the BOD is 130 mg/L, and it is desired to have not more than 5 mg/L of soluble BOD in the effluent. A completely mixed reactor is to be used, and pilot-plant analysis has established the following kinetic values: Y = 0.6 kg/kg, kd = 0.07 d-1. Assuming an MLSS concentration of 2,750 mg/L and an underflow concentration of 11,000 mg/L from the secondary clarifier, determine the followings. [Use θc (MCRT or SRT) = 10 day.] 5.1. The volume of the reactor. 5.2. The mass and volume of solids that must be wasted each day. 5.3. The recycle ratio. Hint: θc = VX/QwXu : MCRT (mean cell-residence time) [or SRT (solids retention time)]; average time microbes spend in reactor = ratio of total biomass in reactor to biomass wasted per given time; currently most commonly used design parameter F/Mv: inversely proportional to SRT; ≈U (cell's specific substrate…

A chlorination tank of depth 1.5 m and width 1.2 m is used for treating wastewater flowing in at a rate of 36 m³/hour. The reaction rate of the disinfection is 0.27 min-1. Calculate the required length of the tank if the wastewater is to be disinfected up to 98%.
At a small water treatment plant which has 4 filters, the rates of filtration and backwashing are 200 m³/d/m² and 1000 m³/d/m² respectively. Backwashing is done for 15 min per day. The maturation, which occurs initially as the filter is put back into service after cleaning, takes 35 min. It is proposed to recover the water being wasted during backwashing and maturation. The percentage increase in the filtered water produced (up to two decimal places) would be
