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.

Question

The completely mixed activated-sludge plant is to treat 10000 m³/day of industrial
wastewater. The wastewater has BOD5 of 1300mg/1 that must be reduced to 300mg/1 to
discharge to a municipal sewer. The secondary clarifier is designed with underflow of
10000mg/1. Pilot-plant analysis indicates that a mean cell-residence time of 5day, MLSS
concentration is 5000 mg/1, Y=0.7kg/kg. Kd=0.03d-¹
Determine:
1)treatment efficiency?
2) The volumetric loading?
3) The volume of the reactor?
4) The mass of solids wasted each day (kg/d)?
5) The sludge recirculation ratio?
6) Average biomass concentration (F/M)?
7) Q wasted from a recycled line?

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),
An activated sludge wastewater treatment system was designed and operated in a steadystate under the following conditions:• Reactor volume of 10,000 m3in total;• Sludge concentration (MLSS) of 3200 mg/L in the reactor;• Return sludge concentration at 8000 mg/L (the underflow of the secondary clarifier)• Each day, 400 m3 of underflow sludge (return sludge) was wasted as excesssludge;What is the average Sludge Residence Time (SRT)?
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.
In a BOD test, 5 ml of wastewater (with no dissolved oxygen) is diluted with 295 ml of water containing 8.5 mg/1 of dissolved oxygen. After 5 days incubation at 25°C, the dissolved oxygen content of the mixture is 5 mg/1. Temperature coefficient can be taken as 1.047 and BOD rate constant is 0.23 per day (base e) at 20°C. The ultimate biochemical oxygen demand of the wastewater is
