Design a water treatment plant for a town with a 2020 population of 25000 persons, average population growth rate of 1.5% annually and average PCWC of 120 liters per day. The treatment plant will have a design life of 20 years and expected to start operation in 2024 and will be designed to treat 1.3 times the average water requirement. The source of water supply is a river and the water treatment plant must adequately remove very fine suspended solids and microorganspisms.

Landfills

The landfill is a site used for the disposal of waste materials. The landfill is a solid waste facility that is often known as a dumping ground. The image below shows a landfill site in Hawaii. Landfilling is the most ancient and common method used for the disposal of waste. For the landfill, a deep trench is constructed in an isolated place away from the city. The trench for landfills is designed properly after analyzing the total population and the waste generation per capita. The waste is dumped into the trench and after every layer of waste, a layer of soil is spread on the top of it.

You are building a wastewater lagoon with an inlet/outlet flow rate of 3,100 m3/day. The BOD inlet load is 26 mg/L and you need to achieve 12 mg/L at the outlet. The half-life of BOD is 2.4 days. What is the volume required for the lagoon? If the wastewater stopped entering the lagoon and was replaced by freshwater, how long would it take for the outlet BOD concentration to reach 1 ppm?
A pharmaceutical wastewater needs a minimum BOD/N/P of 100/3.0/0.7 for biological treatment. The wastewater characteristics are BOD = 740 mg/l, suspended solids = 250 mg/l, soluble nitrogen = 10 mg/l, and soluble phosphorous = 5 mg/l. What ammonium nitrate and phosphoric acid additions would you recommend to ensure adequate nutrients for a daily flow of 28 m3/d?
Sewerage waste was discharged into Mulungushi River from Iris lodge which is located along the banks of the river as they had a problem with a septic tank since it was full. This problem normally occurs in the rain season and this resulted in a mixture having DO of about 9mg/L. The average occupancy rate monthly is about 70%. The septic tanks are emptied after every two weeks. After 5 days, DO dropped to 3mg/L when ZEMA carried out the analysis of the water sample in the river. The reaction constant rate k was found to be 0.22 day ^(-1) and the oxygen consumed in the first five days was 200mg/L. a) How do suspended solids and chemicals affect the surrounding environment? Give two examples. b) What would be the ultimate carbonaceous BOD? c) What will be the remaining oxygen demand after 5 days? d) What advise can you give to the to the lodge owner as a Civil Engineer?
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.
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.
