Poorly treated municipal wastewater is discharged to a stream. The river flow rate upstream of the discharge point is Qus = 8.7 cubic meters per second. The discharge occurs at a flow of Qd = 0.9 cubic meters per second and has a BOD concentration of 50 mg/L. Assuming that the upstream BOD concentration is negligible. (a) What is the BOD concentration just downstream of the discharge point, after mixing? (b) If the stream has a cross-sectional area of 10 square meters, what would the BOD concentration be 50 km downstream? BOD is removed with a first-order decay rate constant equal to 0.20/day.
What is the ultimate BOD 24 km downstream from the outfall? > Answer: 3.89 g/m3 What is the DO deficit 24 km downstream of the effluent discharge? > Answer: 3.192 g/m3 Question: Is it possible to reduce the BOD of the effluent to maintain the DO above 7.0 mg/L at all downstream locations along the river? If so, what is the target BOD of the effluent?
A wastewater treatment plant discharges of effluent into a stream. Just upstream from the discharge point, the stream has an ultimate BOD of 5 mg/L.Assuming a cross-sectional area for the stream equal to 100 m2, what ultimate BOD (in mg/L) would you expect to find at a point of 15,000 m downstream? Wastewater Flow: 1 m3/secBOD (ultimate): 40 mg/LRiver Flow: 10 m3/secDeoxygeneation constant kd: 0.22 day-1
There are currently 420 inhabitants in the small village of Pravino. The population is estimated to increase to 940 in thirty years. The current average peak flow is 1.2 L/s and is expected to increase to 2.14 L/s by 2050. The organic load is approximately 45 g BOD5/capita/day. The community is considering a free surface wetland or a lagoon to treat their wastewater. 1. Use the BOD loading to estimate the maximum surface area (in ha) required for a free surface wetland to serve the community by 2050 and remove BOD to 30 mg O2/L and TSS to 30 mg/L.
The town of Pittsburgh discharges 0.126 m3/s of treated wastewater intoCherry Creek. The BOD5 of the wastewater is 34 mg/L. Cherry Creek hasa 10-year, 7-day low flow of 0.126 m3/s. Upstream of the wastewater outfallfrom Pittsburgh, the BOD5 is 1.2 mg/L. The BOD rate constants k are0.222 d21 and 0.090 d21 for the wastewater and creek respectively. Thetemperature of both the creek and the municipal wastewater is 208C. Calculatethe initial ultimate BOD after mixing.
The current population of a community is 40,000 capita, and the expected futurepopulation after 25 years is 100,000 capita. The current maximum monthly design flow is 10,000m3/day. An existing water treatment plant (WTP) has a maximum capacity (i.e., Qmax) of 15,000m3/d. Assume an arithmetic population increase rate, determine when the plant needs to beexpanded.
Reportedly one of the shortest rivers in the world at 30 m in length, the Ombla River watershed hasan area of about 600 km2 and receives 1020.8 mm of precipitation annually. The regional averageannual evapotranspiration is 150 mm. Measured at its Adriatic Sea terminus, the average flowrateof the Ombla River is 24.1 m3/s.How much runoff reached the river as discharge for the year (in cm)? What annual volume is removed in vapour form (in m3)?Considering the climatic variables reported, what volume remains unclassified in the waterbalance (in ha∙m/yr), and what could this volume reasonably represent in the hydrologic cycle?
If a dairy processing factory produces an average of 246 md of wastewater with a BODs of 1400 mg/lt. Assuming that per capita daily sewage flow is 110 It and the per capita daily BOD 5 contribution is 40 grams, the ratio of (BOD)5 equivalent population and hydraulic equivalent population is (Answer upto two decimal places)

Problem 5.27 Suppose the only source of BOD in a river is untreated wastes that are being discharged from a food processing plant. The resulting oxygen sag curve has a minimum value of DO somewhere downstream equal to 3.0 mg/L See figure P 5.27. Just below the discharge point, the DO of the stream is equal to the saturation value of 10.0 mg/L. By what percent should the DO of the wastes be reduced to assure a healthy stream with at least 5.0 mg/L of DO everywhere? Would a primary treatment plant be sufficient to achieve this reduction? Assume that a primary treatment plant removes 35% of BOD. If the stream flows 60 miles per day, has a reaeration coefficient kr equal to 0.80/day, and has a deoxygenation coefficient kd of 0.20/day, how far downstream (miles) would the lowest DO occur? What ultimate BOD (L0 mg/L) of the mixture of river and waste just downstream from the discharge point would cause the minimum DO to be 5.0 mg/L? d.Sketch the oxygen sag curve before and after treatment…
