A dairy plant processing about 133000 kg of milk daily produces an average of 246 cubic meter per day of waste water with a BOD of 1400 mg/1. The principal operations are bottling of milk and making ice cream, with limited production of cheese. Assume average standard BOD of domestic sewage is 80 gms per person per day. Choose the correct statement(s): Waste water produced per 1000 kg of milk processed is 1.85 m3. Correct Option BOD produced per 1000 kg of milk processed is 2.59 kg. Correct Option Dairy is producing as much pollution as is likely to be produced by approximately 4305 persons. Correct Option D Dairy is producing as much pollution as is likely to be produced by approximately 33 persons.

Please calculate the ThOD, COD, and ultimate BOD of a wastewater containing (a) 500 mg/L acetate (CH3COOH), which is fully biodegradable; or (b) 500 mg/L oil (C40H80), which is not biodegradable.
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…
You are building a wastewater lagoon with an inlet/outlet flow rate of 3,100 m3/day. The BOD inlet load is 26 mg/L and you need to achieve 12 mg/L at the outlet. The half-life of BOD is 2.4 days. What is the volume required for the lagoon? If the wastewater stopped entering the lagoon and was replaced by freshwater, how long would it take for the outlet BOD concentration to reach 1 ppm?
Please calculate the theoretical OD, COD, and ultimate BOD of a wastewater containing (a) 500 mg/L acetate (CH3COOH), which is fully biodegradable; or (b) 500 mg/L oil (C40H80), which is not biodegradable.

A 15-mL sample of sewage is mixed with enough dilution water to fill a 300 mL BOD bottle. The bottle has an initial DO of 8.5 mg/L. At the end of 5 days, meausured DO is 2.8 mg/L. Calculate BOD5 of the sewage.
A University was opened on 21st March 2021. Due to the high number of students who reported at the main campus, there was waste water dischare into the universities River with dissolved oxygenconcentration of 2.0 mg/l at a discharge rate of 1.10m3/s from the stabilization ponds. After two days, there was another discharge downstream with dissolved concentration of 2.1 mg/l at a discharge rate of 1.20m3/s. After 1 hour a different discharge of waste with dissolved oxygen concentration of 0.5 mg/l at a discharge rate of 1.10m3/s was discharged in the River immediately after the second discharge point. The River that was receiving the waste had initial DO equal to 8.3mg/l, a constant flow of 8.70m3/s, and the temperature of 20' C. The saturated value of dissolved oxygen DOs at 20 ‘C is normally 9.09 mg/l. Just below the point where a continuous first discharge of pollution mixes with a river, the BOD was 10.9 mg/l. Using a deoxygenation constant of 0.20/day, an average flow of the mixture…
A community normally levies a sewer charge of 20 cents/m3 ($0.20/m3). For discharges in which the BOD > 250 mg/L and suspended solids (SS) > 300 mg/L, an additional $0.50/kg BOD and $1.00/kg SS are levied. A chicken processing plant uses 2000 m3 water per day and discharges wastewater with BOD = 480 mg/L and SS = 1530 mg/L. What is the plant’s daily wastewater disposal bill?

A city of 200,000 people deposits 37 cubic feet per second (cfs) of sewage having a BOD of 28.0 mg/L and 1.8 mg/L of DO into a river that has a flow rate of 250 cfs and a flow speed of 1.2 ft/s. Just upstream of the release point, the river has a BOD of 3.6 mg/L and a DO of 7.6 mg/L. The saturation value of DO is 8.5 mg/L. The deoxygenation coefficient kd is 0.61/day, and the reaeration coefficient kx is 0.76/day. Assume complete and instantaneous mixing of the sewage and river.
