Concept explainers

Groundwater Flow

The term groundwater refers to the water which is found beneath the earth's surface. Pores present in the soil and rocks with fractures make a passage for rainwater to enter the earth's surface and deposit as groundwater. The flow nature and direction of groundwater under the earth's surface directly impacts the strength and compressibility of the soil, which reflects its ability to support structural loads.

Question

A primary clarifer removes 35% of BOD5 and 55% of suspended
solids from the incoming wastewater. Calculate the mass of solids
and mass of BOD5 removed in kg/d for a plant processing 4500 m3/d
of wastewater with 275 mg/L BOD5 and 400 mg/L SS.
