Question
The BOD5 of the raw Divy Zeya Residential, London wastewater is 225 mg/L. A long term BOD test has revealed that this wastewater also has an ultimate carbonaceous BOD of 325 mg/L. Plant effluent testing has shown that the BOD5 drops by 92% across the plant. Long term tests on the effluent also show that the BOD decay coefficient is half the original value in the raw wastewater. Calculate the BOD decay coefficient of the raw wastewater and the ultimate carbonaceous BOD of the effluent wastewater.
