The design flow (average daily flow) for a new trickling filter plant for the tri-cities is 52,000 m/d. Raw wastewater characteristics are: 240 mg/L BOD, 240mg/L TSS. Primary settling tank (PST) removes 33% BOD, 70% TSS. The final effluent should have less than 20 mg/L BOD and less than 20 mg/L TSS. Filter depth is 3.2 meters. Determine the diameter of single stage trickling filter(s) using the NRC equation if they are using 3 trickling filters and a recirculation ratio of 3. If we use the BOD loading criteria of 0.6 kg/d-m' and hydraulic loading rate of 16 m/d-m2 to design the trickling filter will the volume calculated using the NRC equation above be sufficient?

A single-stage, trickling-filter plant consists of a primary clarifier, a trickling filter 70 ft in diameter with a 7-ft depth of random packing, and a final clarifier. The raw-wastewater flow is 0.80 mgd with 200 mg/l of BOD and a temperature of 15°C. The constants for the random plastic media are an n of 0.44 and K20 of 0.090 min ¹. Assuming 35% BOD removal in the primary, calculate the effluent BOD concentration (a) without recycle and (b) with an indirect recirculation to the wet well of 0.40 mgd and direct recirculation of 0.80 mgd.

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 Calculate the filter diameter (m).
A secondary clarifier handles a total flow of 9600 m³/d from the aeration tank of a conventional activated-sludge treatment system. The concentration of solids in the flow from the aeration tank is 3000 mg/l. The clarifier is required to thicken the solids to 12000 mg/l, and hence it is to be designed for a solid flux of 3.2 kg/m²h. The surface area of the designed clarifier for thickening (in m², in integer)
A trickling filter plant treats 2000 cum per day of sewage with a BOD5 of 220 mg/1 and a suspended solid concentration of 250 mg/1. Estimate the total solid production per day assuming the primary clarifier removes 25% of BOD and 60% of influent solids. Take the solid production in the trickling filter as 0.5 kg/kg of the applied BOD.

The shake-deflate baghouse on the power plant has 12 compartments, each with 100 bags (cylindrical) that are 0.2 meter in diameter and 7 meter long. Total gas flowrate is 300,000 m3/h which carries 60 g/m3 of particulate matter concentration. The pressure drop of a freshly cleaned baghouse is found to be 250 Pa, while the bags are operated until the pressure drop of 750 Pa. The cleaning frequency is twice per hour. The particle collection efficiency is 95%, and filter
a) A wastewater treatment plant consists of primary treatment followed by an activated-sludge secondary system. The plant processes 7000 m3/d of wastewater with 180 mg/L of BOD5 and 150 mg/L of suspended solids. The primary sludge contains 500 kg of dry solids per day with 4.5% solids content. The plant produces 760 kg of total sludge (primary and secondary) per day. Assume 30% removal efficiency of the primary clarifier and F/M ratio of 0.2 for the aeration tank. b) The thickened sludge from problem a) is to be digested in a standard-rate mesophilic anaerobic digester (MAD). The sludge has 68% organic content, and approximately 60% of the organic fraction is digested after a 30-d period. The digested sludge has a solids content of 6% and is stored for a period of 90 d. Calculate the volume of the standard-rate digester
A trickling filter plant treats 1500 m³/day of sewage with a BOD, of 220 mg/l and a suspended solid concentration of 250 mg/l.
