You and your team have decided to build an aerated lagoon to treat the waste generated by a localvillage in a developing country. You estimate that the influent flow rate will be around 40 m³/d andthe BOD5 roughly 250 mg/L. To avoid impacting the river that will receive the effluent, the BOD5must be reduced to 15 mg/L. Based on your experimental lab work, you have determined thefollowing microbial kinetic parameters:=Ks 100 mg-BOD5/Lka = 0.1 d¹μm = 1.6 dY = 0.6 mg-VSS/mg-BOD5(a) To meet the effluent BOD5 limit, what must the hydraulic retention time (HRT) be in the lagoon?(b) What mass of microbes will be produced in the lagoon each day? How could this be problematicfor the operation of the lagoon?

Given:Q = 40 m^3 / daySo = 250 mg / L , BOD5S = 15 mg / L, BOD5Ks = 100 mg-BOD5 / Lkd = 0.1 d^-1mu =…

1. A company produces wastewater containing an organic contaminant during eight hours every day at a flow rate of 1000 L/hour. The wastewater is to be treated by carbon adsorption. The waste concentration is 35 mg/L and a 90% removal is to be achieved. Two different carbon types were tested for the application and the isotherms for the contaminant on the different carbon types are given below. You are asked to choose the most economical carbon for each of two possible reactor configurations (assume all carbon types cost the same). Treatment choices are: i. A batch reactor that is big enough to hold the wastewater for one working day (=8 hours). Assume the kinetics are fast enough so that the carbon will reach equilibrium overnight. The reactor will be emptied and cleaned early the next morning and will be ready to be refilled with the wastewater produced that day. ii. fixed bed adsorber columns, arranged in series, such that the first column in the process stream is allowed to become…
A bio-tower composed of a modular plastic medium of 6 m is used as secondary treatment component in a municipal wastewater treatment plant. Flow from the primary clarifier is 25000 m³/day with 200 mg/1 BOD. The treatability constant is 0.06 per min. To produce an effluent with a soluble BOD of 20 mg/1, the surface area as per Eckenfelder (coefficient related to medium is 0.5) is approximately:
A river before its entry into a town had a discharge of 200 litres per second and 30 mg/las the concentration of a conservative parameter. The town's waste water outfall having 250 mg/1 concentration of the same conservative parameter raised the river concentration to 75 mg/l after complete mixing with the river water. The dilution ratio resulting from the discharge of the above said waste water at the outfall is 38
You have been treating a wastewater with bacteria that have the following kinetic coefficients: k= 16 mg BODL/mg VSS-day Ks = 10 mg BODL/1 b =0.2/day Y = 0.35 mg VSS/mg BODL fa=0.8 A genetic engineer comes to you and claims he can "fix" your bacteria so they are more efficient. The fixed bacteria will have b=0.05/day and fa= 0.95, while all other coefficients are the same. Using a chemostat reactor, you were successfully using a safety factor of 30, and you plant to continue doing so. How would the genetic engineers plan affect your sludge production and oxygen requirements? Assume Xº=0, Sº=200 mg BODL/1). In what ways are the new bacteria more efficient?
A BOD test is run using 100 ml of treated waste H20 mixed with 200ml of pure water. The initial DO of the mixture is 9.0 mg/ml. After 5 days, Do id 4.0 mg/ml. What is the 5-day BOD of the waste water?
If the BOD of a municipal wastewater at the end of 7 days is 60 mg/L and the ultimate BOD is 85.0 mg/L, what is the first order reaction constant?
A centrifuge dewaters digested sludge from ananaerobic digester. Pertinent performance data are; raw sludge feed rate to the anaerobicdigester = 60,000 lb/day on a dry solids basis, digester suspended solids removalefficiency = 55 percent, suspended solids concentration in digested sludge fed to thecentrifuge = 5.0 percent by weight, centrifuge cake solids concentration = 30 percent byweight, centrifuge solids capture = 90 percent. Sketch a process flow schematic of the system showing both the digester andcentrifuge and all flowing fluid streams, clearly identify the appropriate control surface(s)for mass balance analyses, and then determine;(i) dewatered sludge mass flow rate (lb/day)(ii) centrate flow rate (gal/day)(iii) centrate suspended solids concentration (mg/l).
A waste stream is discharging into a river at a rate of 5 m3/s. Upstream of where the waste stream enters the river, the river has a streamflow of 100 m3/s with a nitrate concentration of 1 mg/L. Downstream of where the waste stream enters, the nitrate concentration has been measured to be 3 mg/L. What is the nitrate concentration in the waste stream? Assume no change in storage in the system.
The discharge from the Renenutet sugar beet plant causes the DO at the critical point to fall to 4.0 mg/L. The Meskhenet Stream has a negligible BOD and the initial deficit after the river and wastewater have mixed is zero. What DO will result if the concentration of the waste(L_w) is reduced by 50%? Assume that the flows remain the same and that the saturation value of DO is 10.83 mg/L in both cases.
