1. a. b. State the differences and the significance of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biological oxygen demand (BOD). Wastewater collected from a processing unit has a temperature of 20°C. About 25 mL of wastewater sample is added directly into a 300 mL BOD incubation bottle. The estimated initial and final dissolved Oxygen (DO) of the diluted sample after 5 days are 9.5 mg/L and 2.5 mg/L, respectively. The corresponding initial and final DO of the seeded dilution water is 9.7 mg/L and 8.5 mg/L, respectively. Evaluate the effect of different key parameters on BOD values. Justify your answer with appropriate calculations.

Problem: 1. Design a facultative pond to treat (13500)gpm of sewage having (13500/20)mg/L of BOD. The average summer and winter temperature is 43oC and 13oC, respectively. Convert the same pond into aerated lagoon, if the concentration of influent BOD reaches to (13500)mg/L. 2. Determine the diameter of a trickling filter for a wastewater flowing at the rate of (13500)m3/day. The influent BOD (So) concentration for the wastewater is (13500 * 10)mg/L, whereas desirable effluent BOD should be as per NEQS.

A municipal wastewater flow of 1,000 m³/d contains 400 mg/L BOD5 and is treated to be in a trickling filter. The filter will use a plastic filter medium with a specific surface area of 200 m³/m² and will operate with a recirculation ratio of 100% and a hydraulic loading of 25 m³/m² -d. Based on a typical volumetric loading of 0.6 kg BOD5/m³-d, what volume (m³) of plastic media would be required?
