A municipal wastewater flow of 1,000 m³/d contains 400 mg/L BOD5 and is treated to be in a trickling filter. The filter will use a plastic filter medium with a specific surface area of 200 m³/m² and will operate with a recirculation ratio of 100% and a hydraulic loading of 25 m³/m² -d. Taking both surface loading and volumetric loading criteria into consideration, what volume (m³) of plastic media should be installed?

A wastewater treatment plant discharges 2.16x107 L/hr of treated effluent with an ultimate BOD of 22.0 mg/L and dissolved oxygen concentration of 5.0 mg/L to a river. Upstream of the waste discharge, the river has a flow of 9.0 m3/s, an ultimate BOD of 10.0 mg/L, and dissolved oxygen concentration of 7.0 mg/L. Both the river and effluent are at 20°C. After the river and effluent mix, the river flows at a velocity of 0.13 m/s and has a depth of 1.8 m. The deoxygenation rate constant for the waste is 0.45 day-1.
