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.

A single media filter has a 720mm deep bed of sand (diameter = 5 x 10^-4 m, shape factor = 0.8). The porosity of the system is 0.40. The filtration rate is 1.2 (L/s)m^2. The water viscosity is 1.14 x 10^-6 m^2/s. A. What is the Reynold’s number of the filter B. What is the friction factor for the filter? C. What is the total clean head loss across the filter in m?
Two circular clarifiers operated in parallel service a single stage bio-tower system (plastic media) that receives municipal wastewater at an average flow (Qaverage) of 2000 m³/d, with BOD5 = 200 mg/L. The internal flow recirculation ratio is 2.4. The maximum overflow rate for the clarifiers is 1.8 m³/m²-hr. The design procedures require that the sizing of the clarifiers be based on "PEAK" flow which is twice the average flow (Qpeak = 2 × Qaverage), and media depth in the biotower is 3.0 m. Determine: (a) The overall BOD5 removal. (b) the surface area and the diameter of each clarifier. (k = 0.06 min¹; n = 0.5),

C A trickling filter plant treats 1500 cum per day of sewage with a BOD, of 220 mg/L and a suspended solid concentration of 250 mg/L. Estimate the total solid production assuming that primary clarification removes 30% of BOD and 60% of influent solids. Take the solid production in the trickling filter as a 0.5 kg/kg of the applied BOD.
