Biological Processes

Biological solid waste includes bacterial and contaminated waste produced by living individuals. Its treatment is essential to prevent the spread of any air-borne or water-borne diseases or diseases transmitted from one organism to another in a food chain. There are many benefits of the biological solid waste treatment and some of them are: the minimized quantity of waste substance, waste control, eradicating any disease-causing pathogens, generation of biogas, composting, anaerobic digestion, bio drying, mechanical biological treatment, microbial fuel cell, phytoremediation, and biofiltration. The final products of the biological solid waste treatment may be recycled to obtain organic fertilizers or disposed of in SWDS (Solid Waste Disposal Site) after proper treatment.

A BOD test is run using 100 ml of treated waste H20 mixed with 200ml of pure water. The initial DO of the mixture is 9.0 mg/ml. After 5 days, Do id 4.0 mg/ml. What is the 5-day BOD of the waste water?
Define Subgrade Reaction Method.
A constant velocity grit chamber is used in a small coastal community as a form of pre- treatment to incoming wastewater flows. The town regularly experiences a number of visitors during school holiday periods. If the usual wastewater flow is 10 ML per day, and the usual holiday period flow is 18 ML per day, design an appropriately sized grit chamber arrangement if the target grit has a diameter of 0.16 mm with a specific gravity of 2.75. Show your solutions for the following (but not necessarily in this order): 1. Determine the settling velocity for the target particle 2. Assuming a horizontal flow velocity of 0.32 m/s determine an appropriate overflow rate for the grit chamber 3. Determine an appropriate chamber length and cross sectional area and draw figures 4. Comment on how you could accommodate for the seasonal fluctuations in flows.
