A city wishes to discharge wastewater primary effluent to a river which supports a trout. The state requires the city to show that the trout population is protected. Trout require a minimum of 4 mg/l of dissolved oxygen to survive. Determine the minimum downstream dissolved oxygen concentration from the following information about the wastewater discharge and river. Does the minimum dissolved oxygen concentration meet the requirements? Wastewater discharge=0.45m3/s, river flow rate= 8.5 m3/s, river cross-sectional area=19m2, dissolved Oxygen concentration in the wastewater= 0.2mg/l, dissolved oxygen content of the river upstream = 8.1mg/l, saturation dissolved oxygen concentration at 20 C= 9.0 mg/l, BOD concentration in wastewater = 85 mg/l, BOD concentration upstream in the river= 0.2 mg/l, BOD decay constant = 0.2 d-1, and the reaeration constant for the river= 0.4 d-1.
A clean river flows at a rate of 10 cfs. A discharge pipe containing 100 mg/L of nitrate empties into the river at a flow rate of 10 L/s. Assume nitrate naturally degrades at a rate of 0.1/min (first order kinetics). What is the nitrate concentration (mg/L) just downstream of the discharge point?
You are provided with the following information about a municipal wastewater treatment plant. This plant uses the traditional activated-sludge process. Assume the microorganisms are 55 percent efficient at converting food to biomass, the organisms have a first-order death rate constant of 0.050/day, and the microbes reach half of their maximum growth rate when CE 3059 Page 2 of 2the BOD5 concentration is 10.0 mg/L. There are 150,000 people in the community (their wastewater production is 225 L/day-capita, 0.10 kg BOD5/capita-day). The effluent standard is BOD5 = 20 mg/L and TSS = 20 mg/L. Suspended solids were measured as 4,300 mg/L in a wastewater sample obtained from the aeration tank, 15,000 mg/L in the secondary sludge, 200 mg/L in the plant influent, and 100 mg/L in the primary clarifier effluent. The mean cell residence time is 4.0 days. a. What is the design volume of the aeration basin in cubic meters?b. What is the aeration basin detention time? c. How many kg of secondary dry…
Suppose 1 m3 of an aquifer is contaminated with toluene.Groundwater moves through at an actual speed of 0.03 m/day and the toluene has a dissolved concentration equal to 20% of its solubility.How long will pump and treat take (in years) to remove the toluene spill?Toluene Conc. 4 LPorosity: 30%
Proponents of deep well injection of hazardous wastes argue that it will never be economically feasible to pump water out of aquifers more than one kilometer below the surface. Therefore, they say, we might as well use those aquifers for hazardous waste storage. What do you think? Why?
ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING a). Given that in a Simple Phosphorus Model the Phosphorus Balance indicates that the Rate of Addition of Phosphorus equals the Rate of Removal of Phosphorus, state the Phosphorus Balance Equation and fully define each term used. b). A phosphorus limited lake with surface area equal to 100 x 106 m2 is fed by a 20.0 m3/s stream that has a phosphorus concentration of 0.015mg/L. In addition, effluent from a point-source adds 1 g/s of phosphorus. The phosphorus settling rate is 10 m/yr. Estimate the average total phosphorus concentration. c). (ii) What rate of phosphorus removal at the wastewater treatment plant would be required to keep the concentration of phosphorus in the lake at an acceptable level of 0.015mg/L?
