Integrated Solid Waste Management

Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) is a thorough waste suppression, compost, removal and recycling Program. An effective ISWM system considers how to suppress, manage and recycle solid waste in a manner that is most efficiently to protect human health and the surrounding. ISWM system requires evaluation of public wants and demands and then selecting and merging the most effective waste management activities for the proposed demands. The main ISWM activities for solid waste management are Waste prevention, Recycling and Composting, and Combustion and Removal and waste collection in a properly planned, constructed, managed and mitigated landfill areas. Each of these requires careful designing, financing, accumulation, and delivery of activities.

A municipal wastewater sample is brought to the laboratory to determine the BOD5. The DO in the wastewater sample is 0.2 mg/L. The sample is diluted with distilled water (DO =9.0 mg/L) with a dilution factor of 25. The volume of the BOD bottle is 300 ml. The bottle is incubated for 5 days at 20℃. The DO is measured at 5 days as 3,6 mg/L. Determine the BOD5 of the sample.

For a BOD analysis, 30 ml of waste with a DO of zero mg/L, is mixed with 270 ml of dilution water with a DO of 9 mg/L. The sample is then put in an incubator. The final DO is measured after 7 d. The final DO is measured at 3.0 mg/L. However, it is discovered that the incubator was set at 30°C. Assume a k1 of 0.2 d–1 (base e) at 20°C and θ = 1.05. Determine the 5 d, 20°C BOD of the sample
