The discharge from the Renenutet sugar beet plant causes the DO at the critical point to fall to 4.0 mg/L. The Meskhenet Stream has a negligible BOD and the initial deficit after the river and wastewater have mixed is zero. What DO will result if the concentration of the waste(L_w) is reduced by 50%? Assume that the flows remain the same and that the saturation value of DO is 10.83 mg/L in both cases.
A waste with a 5-day BOD (BOD)=200mg/L and k = 0.1 day¹ is discharged to a river at a rate of 1 m/s. The river has flow rate of 9 m/s and a background ultimate BOD (Lo) of 2 mg/L upstream of the discharge. (a) Calculate the ultimate BOD (Le) of the waste. (b) Furthermore, assuming instantaneous mixing after discharge, calculate Lo of the river water after it has received the waste. Ans.: (a) Ultimate BOD of wastewater = 508.3 mg/L, (b) Ultimate BOD of river water after discharge of waste-52.63 mg/L.
Discharge of waste water from a pulp mill results in an oxygen sag minimum value of 3.2 mg/L. At the point of discharge the river has a saturated DO value of 9 mg/L. The pulp mill isthe only source of BOD to the river. Given a river velocity of 2 m/s, an average depth of 5 m and kd of 0.22/day, calculate: the percent reduction of the BOD in the waste water to ensure a healthy river with > 5mg / L everywhere. the downstream distance that the DO minimum occurs the ultimate BOD of the river waste water mixture at discharge point so that DO minimum si 5 mg/L.
A basin with dimensions of 12 width 100 length and 12 deep depth of water has an intention of 750 galons per minute. If the flow contains 250 mg/l of a waste with a degradation rate of mi what the efficant concentration from the basinis modeled as a continuously mixed flow reactor (CMFRCSTRIP tome 50 mg ime 20 m
(b) In the town of Abesim, it is determined that the per capita waste generation rate is 1.4 kg (3.1 lb) per person per day. The collection is conducted once per week by the municipality. If the density of MSW in a typical trash container is 150 kg/m³, how many 120 L (30 gal) containers would be needed for a family of four? (c) From (b), collection trucks have a capacity of 11.5 m³(15 yd³), which can compact the waste to a density of 420 kg/m³. How many customers can a truck handle in a single run, before departing for the transfer station?
A reactive chemical disposed of by dilution in a river dissipates at a uniform rate of 0.15 mg/lper hour. The waste discharge is 7 million gallons per day containing 35 mg/l, while thestream has zero concentration with a flow above the sewer outfall of 102 ft3/s. If the meanvelocity in the river is 0.8 ft/s, calculate the distance downstream that the chemical residual persist.
From the following date, estimate the unit waste disposal rate per week for a residentialarea consisting of 1200 homes. The average occupancy is 4 persons per home. Theobservation location is a local transfer station that receives all of the wastes collected fordisposal. The observation period was one week.Data:Number of compactor truck loads = 10Average size of compactor truck = 20 yd3Number of flatbed loads = 6Average flatbed volume = 3 yd3Number of loads from individual residents’ private cars and trucks = 20 Estimatedaverage volume per domestic vehicle = 9 ft3
A 76000 m'id domestic waste discharge has a concentration of 22 mg/L of ammonia nitrogen. If the receiving stream contains 1.5 mg/L and the maximum allowable concentration is 3.5 mg/L, compute the dilution of streamflow required in m'/s.
A waste stream is discharging into a river at a rate of 5 m3/s. Upstream of where the waste stream enters the river, the river has a streamflow of 100 m3/s with a nitrate concentration of 1 mg/L. Downstream of where the waste stream enters, the nitrate concentration has been measured to be 3 mg/L. What is the nitrate concentration in the waste stream? Assume no change in storage in the system.
Assume that a solute has a D* of 2.03 x 10-9 m2 / Sec and that w is equal to 0.5. If landfill leachate with a chloride concentration is next to a clay liner that is 2 m thick and the concentration of chloride is 2315 mg/L, what would be the chloride concentration at the outside of the liner after 50 years of diffusion. ? ignore any effects of advection. Defining a "release" from the landfill as a concentration exceeding 1 mg/l, how long will it take for a release to occur bt diffusion alone? Provide answer in years to the nearest tenth, Eg: 10.3
A lagoon with a volume of 1500 ^3 has been receiving a steady flow of a conservative waste at the rate of 100 m^3/day for a long period of time, so assume steady state conditions apply. The waste entering the lagoon has a concentration of 10 mg/L. Assuming complete mix conditions, what would be the concentration of pollutant in the effluent leaving the lagoon? If the input suddenly increases to 100 mg/L due to pollution control failure, what would be the concentration in the effluent from the lagoon 7 days later?
3. A MSW facility is designed to handle solid waste generated by a town at a rate of 75,000 kg/d. The waste is delivered by compactor truck 4 days/week, and 30% of the waste is recycled. The density of the disposed waste before compaction is 120 kg/m3. The waste is compressed to a compaction ratio of 4.0. Daily cover takes up 20% of the total landfill cell volume, and a single lift is 3.5 m high. Engineers have designed the landfill for two lifts, and a total of 6.0 hectares are available for this MSW landfill. Calculate how long (in years) it will take to fill up this landfill as designed.
