Wastewater from a small rural town has been estimated to have a maximum design flow of 8,200 m³/day, BOD load of 6,600 kg/day and suspended solids of 3,200 kg/day. Calculate the BOD and SS concentrations in mg/L. Research for average per capita BOD load and wastewater flows in the literature to determine the equivalent population for the town based on BOD; and Hydraulic conditions. Also estimate per capita water consumption for this town. What approaches can we take to reduce the wastewater flows reaching the treatment plant?

Transcribed Image Text:Wastewater from a small rural town has been estimated to have a maximum design flow of
8,200 m³/day, BOD load of 6,600 kg/day and suspended solids of 3,200 kg/day. Calculate the
BOD and SS concentrations in mg/L.
Research for average per capita BOD load and wastewater flows in the literature to determine
the equivalent population for the town based on BOD; and Hydraulic conditions.
Also estimate per capita water consumption for this town. What approaches can we take to
reduce the wastewater flows reaching the treatment plant?
