A wastewater treatment plant discharges 0.1 m3/s of treated wastewater to a river having a mean flow rate of 25 m3/s. The biological components of the wastewater have a concentration of 15 mg/l in the waste stream and are consumed by bacteria in the river with a rate constant of k = −0.3 d-1. 1. Ignoring the biological reaction, what is the pure physical dilution downstream in the river after the waste discharge is fully mixed across the cross-section of the river?
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?

A chemical tanker truck crashes into a flooded, abandoned quarry (no soil or sediment on the bottom). It was carrying 1000 kg of benzene which is all released into the quarry and quickly becomes a completely mixed system. The quarry is 10 m deep and has a surface area of 10,000 m2. The quarry is fed by a spring with a constant temperature of 20°C and water flows out of it to a local stream at a flow rate of 10 m3/min. (a) How long will the concentration in the quarry violate the applicable NJ Surface Water Quality Standards (FW2) (assume only loss is flow out)? (b) If bacteria is introduced to the quarry that can consume benzene following a 1st order decay process with a decay constant k = 0.01 day-1, how long will the concentration in the quarry violate the regulations?

You are the lead engineer on a wastewater treatment plant with a biological reactor. You are required todetermine how much biomass will be produced in kg per day in your plant. A junior engineer determines theultimate BOD of the incoming waste as 600 mg/l, with a decay constant of 0.1/d. The incoming substrateconcentration used should be the five-day BOD. The incoming flow is 75 m3/d however there are lossesupstream of the plant accounting for 15 m3/d of the flow. The target BOD discharged from the plant is 25mg/l. the kinetic constants for the system are Ks = 90 mg/L BOD5, kd = 0.2 d-1, μm = 1.5 d-1, and Y = 0.6 mg VSS/mgBOD5. Include a sketch to illustrate the biological reactor and its incoming flows.
A small lake with volume 10,000 m3 has a stream flowing into it with flow rate 100 m3/day and a Toluene concentration of 1.0 mg/m3. A factory discharges 5 m3/day into the lake with Toluene concentration of 10 mg/m3 – they want to increase effluent to 50 mg/m3. Toluene decays at a rate of 0.01/day. Assume steady-state and completely mixed (CSTR). a) How would this increase in discharge concentration change the lake concentration? b) Field studies show that the same lake would be better represented by dividing the lake into two cells. The first cell having a volume of 2,500 m3 and the second with 7,500 m3. How does this affect the estimate of concentration leaving the lake? Compare with one-cell model.Assume the factory continues to discharge at 10 mg/m3 into the first cell.c) Why does modeling the lake as multiple cells impact the final concentration leaving the lake? What do you expect might happen to the final concentration leaving the lake if we modeled it as more cells? How would…
The discharge from a food processing plant is the only source of BOD in a river. The oxygensag curve shows a minimum DO concentration of 3.0 mg/L. The DO concentrationimmediately downstream of the discharge is at saturation (10.0 mg/L). Other characteristics ofthe system are as follows: u = 60 miles/day; kr = 0.80 days-1; kd = 0.20 days-1.a. Currently the food processing plant does not treat the waste. What percent removal ofthe BOD would be required to ensure that the DO of the river at any locationdownstream of the plant is always greater than 5.0 mg/L?b. How far downstream would the lowest DO levels occur?c. What ultimate BOD concentration of the mixture of the river and waste immediatelydownstream of the discharge would result in a minimum DO concentration of 5.0mg/L?
Answer and show complete solution. Pls don't rejectA factory discharges waste water to a nearby river. The concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO) a few meters downstream of the factory’s discharge point was recorded for 10 consecutive days as shown in the table below. The lower the DO, the more “polluted” the river is and as the DO reaches zero, the river becomes unable to sustain marine life.
