QUESTION: A city of 5000 persons is to be served by a low rate trickling filter with a synthetic packing (K = 2.2 at 20 oC, n = 0.5). Pertinent data are: wastewater flow = 380 L/cap-d, BOD5 after primary sedimentation basin = 140 mg/L, BOD5 after final sedimentation basin = 20 mg/L, and filter bed depth = 2.5 m. The winter wastewater temperature is 15 o
