Design an oxidation pond for treating domestic sewage contributed by 10,000 persons supplied with water at 200 litres per person per day. The BOD and suspended solids are 300 m g/l each. Permissible organic loading for the pond is not less than 500 kg/ha/day. The detention period is not to exceed 6 days. Assume width to length ratio as 1: 2, and operational depth as 1.2 m. Assume any other data. Sewage volume may be taken equal to water supplied.

An industrial wastewater discharged at a flowrate of 1000 m³/d having 220 mg/l initial concentration of total suspended solids (TSS). If this wastewater is to be treated individually by one of the following processes: 1. Primary settling tank which should remove 60% of TSS. 2. Coagulation unit using 40 g ferric chloride (FeCl3) as a coagulant /m²³ of wastewater. The coagulation unit will remove 85% of TSS. Estimate the mass and volume of the sludge generated from each suggested unit. Assume the following sludge specification: Source of sludge Primary settling tank Coagulation tank Specific gravity 1.03 1.05 Moisture content 94% 92%
The characteristics of the synthetic textile wastewater are 1500 mg/L BOD, 2000 mg/L SS, 30 mg/L nitrogen, and no phosphorus. The characteristics of the domestic wastewater are 200 mg/L BOD, 240 mg/L SS, 35 mg/L nitrogen, and 7 mg/L phosphorus. Find the nitrogen concentrations in the mixture. The ratio of flow rate is domestic/textile = 4/1
2. The average wastewater flow from a community of 20,000 is 125 gpcd. The 5 day, 20 deg C BOD is 250 mg/L. The suspended solids content is 300 mg/L. A final plant effluent of 50 mg/L of BOD is to be achieved through the use of two sets of identical settling tanks and trickling filters operating in parallel. The settling tanks are to be designed to a standard of 1000 gpd/^2. The trickling filters are to be 6^ deep and operated at an organic loading of 55 lbm/1000^3 d. There is no recirculalon.

A storm sewer is mixed into a small stream. The stream before the mixing point has a NaCi concentration of 25 mg/L. If the storm sewer has a Nacl concentration of 1.8 g/L and the storm sewer flowrate is 2.5 L/min, calculate for the concentration of the salt in the stream after the discharge point (mixing point). The stream has a flowrate of 2.6 cu.m/s. Assume a complete mixing of the storm sewer flow and the stream flow. Assume also that the salt is nonreactive and that the system is at steady state.
The wastewater contains 7.5 x 105 fecal CFU per liter. The permissible fecal coliform concentration is 3500 fecal coliform CFU/L. Calculate the length of pipe required if the linear velocity of the wastewater pipe is 0.75 m/s. Take the reaction rate constant for the destruction of the fecal coliform is 0.24 per min.

A rectangular sedimentation tank following coagulation- Exa flocculation is to treat a flow of 3000 m³ / day with a detention time of 6 hours. It is to be hand cleaned of sludge at 6 week intervals. The suspended solids concentration of the water is reduced from 250 mg/L to 5 mg|L by coagulation- flocculation. The settled sludge includes 40 mg/L (based on water flow) of metallic precipitate and has a moisture content of 85% and specific gravity of 1.24. Determine the volume of sludge produced between cleanings and the basic dimensions of the tank if the water depth just before cleaning is 3 m and its length is twice its width.
