A small lake with volume 10,000 m3has a stream flowing into it with flowrate 100 m3/dayand a Toluene concentration of 1.0mg/m3. A factory discharges 5 m3/day into the lake withToluene concentration of 10 mg/m3 -they want to increase effluent to 50mg/m3. Toluenedecays at a rate of 0.01 day-1.Assume steady-state and completelymixed (CSTR).a) How would this increase indischarge concentration change thelake concentration?Answer: 0.73 mg/m3 before, 1.71 mg/m3 afterb) Field studies show that the samelake would be better represented bydividing the lakeinto two cells. The first cell having avolume of 2,500m3 and the secondwith 7,500m3.How does this affect the estimate ofconcentration leaving the lake?Compare with one-cell model.Assume the factory continues todischarge at 10 mg/m3 into the firstcell.

a) The increase in discharge concentration would lead to an increase in the overall concentration of…

A wastewater treatment plant discharges 20,000 m3/d of treated sewage into a river. The effluent’s BOD is 25.0 mg/L. The river’s flow and velocity are 5,500 m3/d and 23 km/hr, respectively. At the point of the effluent discharge, the river’s BOD and DO are 2 mg/L and 6 mg/L, respectively. The river’s water temperature is 25 °C. The deoxygenation coefficient, kd, was determined to be 0.45 day-1, and the reaeration coefficient, kr, is 0.52 day-1. Apply the plug flow model assumptions and calculate the the oxygen deficit at the point of the effluent discharge, the BOD at the point of the effluent discharge, the critical time and distance and minimum DO level.

Groundwater ingress from a mine and contaminated water from an industrial plant is pumped into a pollution control dam (PCD) with an area of 125 m2 and a depth of 4 m. The water in the PCD has an outlet which pumps its water into a nearby river. The groundwater is pumped at a rate of 5 m3/d and has a sodium concentration of 18 mg/l. The industrial water is pumped at a rate of 3 m3/d with an average concentration of 175 mg/l of sodium. The river has a background sodium concentration of 3 mg/l and an average flow of 14 m3/d. a.) Considering an evaporation rate of 20 mm/m2/d from the PCD, determine if the river’s sodium concentration downstream of the outlet exceeds the regulatory limit for sodium of 30 mg/l. Note: evaporated water does not contain sodium. b.) Briefly discuss two potential ways to reduce the concentration of sodium at the outlet of the PCD.
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.
