A river before its entry into a town had a discharge of 200 litres per second and 30 mg/las the concentration of a conservative parameter. The town's waste water outfall having 250 mg/1 concentration of the same conservative parameter raised the river concentration to 75 mg/1 after complete mixing with the river water. The dilution ratio resulting from the discharge of the above said waste water at the outfall is

An anaerobic digester (AD) is designed with the following data. Organic loading rate 1.0 kg VSS/m³.day VSS load 120 kg/day (i). (ii). Estimate the volume of the AD. If the VSS is 12 kg/m³, estimate the retention time.
Enter T next to the following true statements and F next to the false statements. Settling of suspended solids in secondary clarifiers is typical of Type II sedimentation. Thickening prior to digestion is common in many wastewater treatment plants because it reduces the size needed for the digester. Based on a temperature of 30°C, a design mean cell residenee time of about 20 days would be reasonable for a completely-mixed anaerobic digester without recycle. A volatile suspended solid is defined as an organic solid that can be oxidized to CO2 (g) at 250°C. The theoretical yield coefficient can be estimated from the observed yield coefficient if the specific growth rate constant is known. Air flotation would likely be more efficient for thickening waste activated sludge than primary sludge, while the opposite would be true for gravity thickening. The net mass of cells produced in the activated sludge process equals the total cell mass synthesized minus the cell mass wasted as waste…

The concentrations of total solids (TS) and fixed dissolved solids (FDS) respectively in the solution in rug/L are equal to A 699 and 599 B с D 599 and 399 699 and 199 699 and 399
A waste sludge flow of 40 m³/day is gravity thickened in a circular tank with a diameter of 6.8 m. The solids concentration is increased from 4.5% to 7.5% with 85% suspended- solids capture. Calculate the solids loading in kg/m² d and the quantity of thickened sludge in m³/d.
A sewage treatment plant uses the activated sludge process in its biological treatment unit with discharge of 8000m³/day having a MLVSS concentration of 3000mg/l in the aeration tank which has a volume of 25000m The BOD was 300mg/l in primary sedimentation tank. Calculate the organic loading F/M ratio.
Q- If the BOD3 of a wastewater sample is 75 mg/L and reaction rate constant k (base e) is 0.345 per day, find the amount of BOD remaining in the given sample after 10 days.
A waste with a 5-day BOD (BOD)=200mg/L and k = 0.1 day¹ is discharged to a river at a rate of 1 m/s. The river has flow rate of 9 m/s and a background ultimate BOD (Lo) of 2 mg/L upstream of the discharge. (a) Calculate the ultimate BOD (Le) of the waste. (b) Furthermore, assuming instantaneous mixing after discharge, calculate Lo of the river water after it has received the waste. Ans.: (a) Ultimate BOD of wastewater = 508.3 mg/L, (b) Ultimate BOD of river water after discharge of waste-52.63 mg/L.

The base of a river in in contact with the top of an aquifer. A truck carrying bags of powdered cyanide is on a bridge crossing the river when a large bump causes one of the bags to fall into the river. The water in the river suddenly becomes polluted by the cyanide with a concentrations of 6.78 mg/L. The aquifer has an average linear ground water velocity of 0.256 m/day. Laboratory analyses data indicates that longitudinal dispersivity can be found through the equation: a = 0.86(log Ls)² where Ls is the length of the straight line path between two points along the path of transport. Find the longitudinal dispersion 108 m downstream from the bridge. Assume that the cyanide solute has a diffusion coefficient of 3.6 x 10 -5 m²/s and the aquifer has a coefficient related to tortuosity (o) equal to 0.8. Find the coefficient of hydrodynamic dispersion.
