A contaminant is present in an industrial wastewater at a concentration of 268 mg/L and can be degraded according to a first-order reaction. Previous research has identified that K contaminant is regulated at 2.5 mg/L and must be removed prior to discharge to the sewer. 1. 5.2/hr. The a. Identify the required reaction time (in hours) to degrade the contaminant to the target effluent concentration of 2.5 mg/L in an ideal continuously-stirred tank reactor (CSTR). b. Identify the required reaction time (in hours) to degrade the contaminant to the target effluent concentration of 2.5 mg/L in an ideal plug flow reactor (PFR). If the wastewater flowrate is 7,000 gallons/day (gpd), identify the volume required (in gallons and ft') for ideal CSTR and PFR treatment system to achieve the target effluent concentration of 2.5 mg/L. d. Management would like to use two 500 gallon tanks operated as two-CSTRS in series to treat the wastewater at a flowrate of 7,000 (gpd). Will this be satisfactory for…
A municipal wastewater flow of 1,000 m³/d contains 400 mg/L BOD5 and is treated to be in a trickling filter. The filter will use a plastic filter medium with a specific surface area of 200 m³/m² and will operate with a recirculation ratio of 100% and a hydraulic loading of 25 m³/m² -d. Taking both surface loading and volumetric loading criteria into consideration, what volume (m³) of plastic media should be installed?
Problem: 1. Design a facultative pond to treat (10650)gpm of sewage having (10650/20)mg/L of BOD. The average summer and winter temperature is 43°C and 13°C, respectively. Convert the same pond into aerated lagoon, if the concentration of influent BOD reaches to (10650)mg/L. 2. Determine the diameter of a trickling filter for a wastewater flowing at the rate of (10650)m³/day. The influent BOD (S.) concentration for the wastewater is (10650 * 10)mg/L, whereas desirable effluent BOD should be as per NEQS.
