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. What is the amount of wastewater generated per person per day if the current plant serves 1,000,000 people and the average flow to the plant is 90 MGD? (results will be expressed in ! !"# $%&'() . ,"-") Round to whole number
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?

The community of San Antonio is located in the Caranavi Province, Bolivia. According to the 2005 year survey, there are 420 habitants of the community. The population is estimated to increase to 940 by the year 2035. The average peak flow is currently 1.2 L/sec and is expected to increase to 2.14 L/sec by 2035. The organic load is estimated to be 45 gram BOD5/capita-day. The community is considering a free surface wetland to treat their wastewater. (a) What is the BOD5 loading generated in the year 2035 (kg/day)? (b) Use the BOD loading to estimate the maximum surface area (ha) required for a free surface wetland that would serve the community in 2035 and remove BOD to 30 mg/L. (c) Assuming you are now considering sizing a facultative lagoon instead of a free surface wetland. Quickly estimate the required surface area (m2) for a facultative lagoon to handle a peak flow in 2035, assuming a design water depth of 4 m and a hydraulic detention time of 20 days.
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.
