An industry wants to locate a chemical plant in your city, they expect to generate 25,000 gal/hr of waste containing 800 mg/L of BOD wastes (reactive) and 15,000 mg/L of inert (non-reactive) materials. The industry wants to recycle 300 gal/min (containing 20 mg/L BOD and 400 mg/L of salts) of discharge (effluent) from the municipal wastewater treatment plant to dilute their waste to 6,000 mg/L of inerts prior to pre-treating the wastes on their own property. If the rate constant for the first order degradation of BOD5 to be 0.75/hr, how big must the reactor be to treat the BOD entering the reactor to 200 mg/L?

.A Batch Reactor with a volume of 11.859 m³ is being used to treat liquid waste from a small seafood processing industry. Every week 1.461 kg of waste is added to the reactor with water, so that the final volume is 11.859 m³. The reactor is emptied after a week and a new batch of waste (same mass) is added. If the decay rate of the waste is 0.442 d¹, determine the final concentration = ? mg/L of the waste after a week.
A factory operates heavy machinery which emits pollutant air with a PM2.5 of 700 ug/m3. The factory has inflow and outflow air vents and an air filter to assist with reducing the PM2.5 concentration of the outflowing air from the factory. The air purifier removes PM2.5 at a rate of 4 m3/hr and has a 80% PM2.5 removal efficiency. The wind flow through the inflow air vent is 10 m3/hour and the air outlet of the machinery operates at 8 m3/hour. Determine if the outflow air vent air quality is within the local standard of500 ug/m3. The factory has a volume of 200 m3. Assume the air inflow has a PM2.5 concentration of 0ug/m3

The BOD3 of a wastewater is determined to be 270 mg/L at 20 o The rate constant (k) value is known to be 0.34 per day as first order. (C: 12 g/mol, H: 1 g/mol, O: 16 g/mol) Note: Reaction should be stoichiometricly balanced CH2O + O2 ------> CO2 + H2O (a) What would be BOD5 value if tests were run at 20 oC? (b) What is the concentration of formaldehyde (CH2O) in wastewater?
9. The food processing waste discharge causes an oxygen sag in a stream, with minimum DO of 2.0 mg/L. Upstream, the 10 °C water is saturated in O2 and has no BOD. Assuming the downstream oxygen deficit is proportional to the BOD, by what fraction should the BOD in the industry waste be reduced to have a healthy stream with DO > 5 mg / L?
Q- A certain waste has a BOD of 180 mg/L and its flow is 2000 cubic metres/day. If the domestic sewage has a BOD of 100 gm per capita per day find the population equivalent of the waste.
A toxic pollutant with an initial concentration 598.08 is being treated in a batch reactor. Unfortunately, we were unable to as certain whether the substance degrades via first order or second order reaction. If the goal is to reduce the concentration by 95%, determine the number of days............... for 1 order deacy and the number of days ...............for 2nd order decay to reach the target effluent concentration: The reaction rate constant for the first and second order reaction are 0.5 d(-1) and 0.5x10(-3) mg(-1)d(-1) respectively.
Q- 50 gm of CO2 and 25 gm of CH4 are produced from the decomposition of municipal solid waste (MSW) with a formula weight of 120 g. What is the average per capita green house gas production in a city of 1 million people with a MSW production rate of 500 ton/day.
1. Industrial representatives claim that the NAAQS for S02 is so low that one exceeds it if one strikes a simple woodenmatch in a modest-sized room. Is this true?(a) Calculate the concentration (in µg/m3) expected for striking such a match in a room that is 15 ft by 15 ft by 8 ft. A typical2-inch wooden match contains ≃ 2.5 mg of sulfur.

The wastewater to be treated is flowing into the treatment plant at a rate of 2670 m³/day. The dosage of chlorine used for disinfection is 15 mg/l and its disinfection model is given as N=Noe-0.145t Calculate the volume of disinfection tank necessary to kill 98% microbes.
1. It is estimated that the BOD of raw sewage received at a treatment plant serving a population of 20,000 will be 300 mg/L. It is estimated that the per capita BOD loading is 0.17 lbm/day. 30% of influent BOD is removed by settling. One single-stage high-rate trickling filter is to be used to reduce the plant effluent to 50 mg/L. Recirculation is from the filter effluent to the primary settling influent. Ten States' Standards is in effect, which specifies 100 gpcd in the absence of other information. (1) What is the design flow rate?
