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.
A clean river flows at a rate of 10 cfs. A discharge pipe containing 100 mg/L of nitrate empties into the river at a flow rate of 10 L/s. Assume nitrate naturally degrades at a rate of 0.1/min (first order kinetics). What is the nitrate concentration (mg/L) just downstream of the discharge point?
A wastewater treatment plant discharges an effluent containing 2 mg/L of dissolved oxygen to ariver that has a dissolved-oxygen concentration of 9 mg/L upstream of the discharge. Calculatethe dissolved-oxygen deficit at the mixing basin. Assume that the river and plant discharge havethe same flow rate and DO at saturation is 9 mg/L.
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.
The town of Viracocha discharges 17,360 m³/day of treated wastewater into the Pachacamac Creek. The treated wastewater has a BOD5 of 12 mg/L and a BOD decay constant, k, of 0.12/day at 10 °C. Pachacamac Creek has a flow rate of 0.43 m³/s and an ultimate BOD, Lo, of 5 mg/L. The DO of the river is 6.5 mg/L and the DO of the wastewater is 1.0 mg/L. Compute the DO and the initial ultimate BOD, Lo, after mixing. Draw the Mass Balance Diagram.
A city of 200,000 people deposits 37 cubic feet per second (cfs) of sewage having a BOD of 28.0 mg/L and 1.8 mg/L of DO into a river that has a flow rate of 250 cfs and a flow speed of 1.2 ft/s. Just upstream of the release point, the river has a BOD of 3.6 mg/L and a DO of 7.6 mg/L. The saturation value of DO is 8.5 mg/L.

(c) Find the minimum DO.(d) Find the DO that could be expected 10 miles downstream.
Suppose 1 m3 of an aquifer is contaminated with toluene.Groundwater moves through at an actual speed of 0.03 m/day and the toluene has a dissolved concentration equal to 20% of its solubility.How long will pump and treat take (in years) to remove the toluene spill?Toluene Conc. 4 LPorosity: 30%
A large stream has a reoxygenation constant of 0.4 per day (on base 10). At a velocity of 0.85 m/s; and at the point at which an organic pollutant is discharged, it is saturated with oxygen at 10 mg/L (D= 0). Below the outfall, the ultimate demand for oxygen is found to be 20 mg/L and the deoxygenation constant is 0.2 per day (on base 10). What is the dissolved oxygen at 48.3 km downstream?
An industry generates 4 million gallons per day (MGD) (that is 15,000 m^3/ day) of liquid industrial wastewater having BOD5 of 1000 mg/L and first order reaction rate constant of 2.0/day. Because of the high BOD, there is a plan to build an industrial pre-treatment system at an industrial park. Effluent from the pre-treatment will be discharged into the city sewer for final polishing at the city wastewater treatment plant. Determine: a. Percent BOD removal if the wastewater is treated in one 5000 m^3 continous flow stirred tank reactor. b. Percent BOD removal if the wastewater is treated in one 5000 m^3 plug flow reactor. c.

You are constructing a sewage lagoon with a 3,100 m3/day inlet/outlet flow rate. You must attain a BOD outflow load of 12 mg/L given a BOD inlet load of 26 mg/L. BOD has a half-life of 2.4 days.What volume is needed for the lagoon and how long would it take for the output BOD concentration to reach 1 ppm if freshwater started to replace the wastewater that was previously entering the lagoon?
