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),

Integrated Solid Waste Management

Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) is a thorough waste suppression, compost, removal and recycling Program. An effective ISWM system considers how to suppress, manage and recycle solid waste in a manner that is most efficiently to protect human health and the surrounding. ISWM system requires evaluation of public wants and demands and then selecting and merging the most effective waste management activities for the proposed demands. The main ISWM activities for solid waste management are Waste prevention, Recycling and Composting, and Combustion and Removal and waste collection in a properly planned, constructed, managed and mitigated landfill areas. Each of these requires careful designing, financing, accumulation, and delivery of activities.

Question

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),

If this wastewater is to be treated individually by one of the following processes: 1. Primary settling tank which should remove 60% of TSS. 2. Coagulation unit using 40 g ferric chloride (FeCl3) as a coagulant /m²³ of wastewater. The coagulation unit will remove 85% of TSS.

A single media filter has a 720mm deep bed of sand (diameter = 5 x 10^-4 m, shape factor = 0.8). The porosity of the system is 0.40. The filtration rate is 1.2 (L/s)m^2. The water viscosity is 1.14 x 10^-6 m^2/s. A. What is the Reynold’s number of the filter B. What is the friction factor for the filter? C. What is the total clean head loss across the filter in m?
6. 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-m³ 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?
