4. The stream shown below has a flow of 28,000 m/d, and a cross-sectional area of 35 m2. The stream is saturated with dissolved oxygen (C* = 10 mg/L) and its BOD, concentration is 0.5 mg/L. At point (A)7 km upstream from the stream's confluence with another much larger river, a food processing industry is continuously discharging 1,500 m/day of wastewater with an average organic composition of CH,0 (which is 90% degradable). The wastewater has a dissolved oxygen concentration of 2 mg/L. A stream sample taken just before the confluence of stream and river has a BOD, 20°C of 3.0 mg/L ( k = 0.24/day for BOD assimilation in the lab). a) Calculate the concentration of the wastewater (in units of mg CH,0/L) before it is mixed in the river. Relevant constants are given below. b) Determine whether the D.O. level in the stream remains above 5 mg/L between point A and confluence of the stream with the larger river. You may assume the following: i) plug flow ii) instantaneous mixing of stream and…

1. A wastewater treatment plant serving a city of 200,000 discharges 1.10 m/s of treated effluent having an ultimate BOD of 50.0 mg/L into a stream that has a flow of 8.70 m/s and a BOD of its own equal to 6.0 mg/L. The deoxygenation constant ka, is 0.20/day. a. Assuming complete and instantaneous mixing, estimate the ultimate BOD of the river just downstream from the outfall. b. If the stream has a constant cross section, so that it flows at a fixed speed equal to 0.30 m/s, estimate the BOD remaining in the stream at a distance 30,000 m downstream. 2. The wastewater in the question above has a dissolved oxygen concentration of 2.0 mg/L and a discharge rate of 1.10 m/s. The river that is receiving this waste has BO equal to 8.3 mg/L, a flow rate of 8.70 m/s, and a temperature of 20°C. Assuming complete and instantaneous mixing, estimate the initial dissolved oxygen deficit of the mixture of wastewater and river water just downstream from the discharge point.

4. (Modified from problem in an FE Review Book) A municipal wastewater treatment plant is discharging its effluent into a river. Based on a mass balance at the discharge, the initial BODult and initial dissolved oxygen deficit in the stream are given as 8.2 mg/L and 2.4 mg/L, respectively. Determine the minimum dissolved oxygen concentration of a stream given the following water quality and kinetic parameters: dissolved oxygen saturation = 9.2 mg/L, reaeration rate coefficient = 0.8 /day, decomposition rate coefficient = 0.25 /day. Minimum D.O. concentration: mg/L Check
X=0 C = 6 mg/L at X=? A wastewater treatment plant discharges to a stream at X-0 as shown above. At the mixing point, the dissolved oxygen in the stream is 2.0 mg/L, which is too low for fish. They want a minimum of 6 mg/L. If the gas transfer coefficient is 0.4/day and the stream velocity is 3.6 mi/d, at what point downstream (X) will the DO be 6 mg/L? Assume the saturation concentration is 11 mg/L. (Hint: This is a plug flow reactor. In lab you did your measurements on a batch reactor, but remember that PFRS and batch reactors act the same mathematically.) Answer to one decimal place.
