Storm Sewers and Detention

The storm drains system transports rainwater or stormwater and other runoff from roads, parking lots, and roof downpipes directly to nearby creeks, rivers, or the sea without any treatment.

Question

Consider the feasibility of treating the wastewater from the town of Nancy (Problem
12.31) in a single-stage trickling-filter plant, as diagrammed in Figure 12.21, using high-
density cross-flow media with a specific surface area of 42 ft/ft³. Use the same filter sur-
face area as calculated for stone-media filtration in Problem 12.31 (A = 4600 ft²) and a
recirculation ratio of 0.5. The design wastewater temperature is 15°C. As determined from
laboratory testing, the soluble (filtered) BOD of the primary effluent is 100 mg/l or less,
compared to the unsettled unfiltered BOD of 160 mg/l. The soluble effluent BOD concen-
tration of trickling-filter plants treating similar wastewaters is approximately 50% of the
unfiltered BOD concentration. From pilot-plant studies and full-scale experience, the
manufacturer of the cross-flow media recommends a reaction-rate coefficient at 20°C of
0.0030 (gpm/ft²)0.5 for a media depth of 6.6 ft (2.0 m). From these data, calculate the solu-
ble effluent BOD and double this value for the estimated effluent BOD.

The plant operators at the Acme WWTP maintains the 10,000 gal aeration basin shown below with a constant 1500mg/L mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS). The suspended solids are separated in a clarifier with recycle of the separated sludge. The recycle flow rate is 5,000 gal per day and 500 gal of recycle are wasted daily. Given that the plant treats 25,000 gals of liquid waste per day and the effluent contains 30 mg/L MLSS, find the solids retention time assuming the system is at steady-state.
The saturation DO concentration of a stream is 9.1 mg/L. At a sewage outfall, the DO of the stream is 8.0 mg/L.
