Problem 3: You are considering three design alternatives for treating a pollutant in wastewater using a first- order process (k = 1.1 min'). The flow is 8.6 million gallons per day (mgd). The three alternatives, each of which has a total volume of 9,000 gallons, are: (1) one 9,000 gallon well-mixed basin; (2) two 4,500 gallon well-mixed basins in series (see sketch below); and (3) one 9,000 gallon pipe. Calculate the percent removal of the pollutant for each alternative at steady state. Which system gives the best removal? Two tanks in series
