4. (Modified from problem in an FE Review Book) A municipal wastewater treatment plant is discharging its effluent into a river. Based on a mass balance at the discharge, the initial BODun and initial dissolved oxygen deficit in the stream are given as 8.2 mg/L and 2.4 mg/L respectively. Determine the minimum dissolved oxygen concentration of a stream given the following water quality and kinetic parameters: dissolved oxygen saturation = 9.2 mg/L reaeration rate coefficient = 0.8 /day, decomposition rate coefficient = 0.25 /day. Minimum D.O. concentration: mg/l

A wastewater treatment plant discharges 20,000 m3/d of treated sewage into a river. The effluent’s BOD is 25.0 mg/L. The river’s flow and velocity are 5,500 m3/d and 23 km/hr, respectively. At the point of the effluent discharge, the river’s BOD and DO are 2 mg/L and 6 mg/L, respectively. The river’s water temperature is 25 °C. The deoxygenation coefficient, kd, was determined to be 0.45 day-1, and the reaeration coefficient, kr, is 0.52 day-1. Apply the plug flow model assumptions and calculate the the oxygen deficit at the point of the effluent discharge, the BOD at the point of the effluent discharge, the critical time and distance and minimum DO level.

Drinking water from a dam which undergoes conventional treatment has a computed chlorine demand (due to silt, corrosion and bacteria) amounting to 3.5 ppm. Per PNSDW, such drinking water must have a mandatory chlorine residual of 1.0 ppm at source. If production flow is at 500 cu.m./day, calculate the chlorine dosage needed in pounds per day (PPD).

Estimate the reduction in bacteria during the passage of wastewater that initially contains 106organisms per milliliter through three stabilization ponds that are arranged in series. The volumes of the three ponds are 10,000; 20,000; and 6,000 m3, respectively. The flowrate is 1000 m3/d. Assume that steady-state conditions apply, that the ponds are completely mixed due to wind action, that first-order decay kinetics apply, and that the value of the reaction rate constant k is 1.0 d-1. What is the overall conversion for these ponds in series? Instead of having three separate ponds in series what would the conversion be for one equivalent pond of the same total volume?
