Landfills

The landfill is a site used for the disposal of waste materials. The landfill is a solid waste facility that is often known as a dumping ground. The image below shows a landfill site in Hawaii. Landfilling is the most ancient and common method used for the disposal of waste. For the landfill, a deep trench is constructed in an isolated place away from the city. The trench for landfills is designed properly after analyzing the total population and the waste generation per capita. The waste is dumped into the trench and after every layer of waste, a layer of soil is spread on the top of it.

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.
