An industry is discharging 2500 m3/d wastewater into a sanitary sewer. The concentrations of BOD5, TSS, TN, and TP are 200, 280, 35 and 10 mg/L, respectively. Calculate the population equivalent of the industry based on flow, BOD5, TSS, TN, and TP (i.e., number of people served). Assume that the unit waste loadings in terms of g per capita per day are 95, 104, 18, and 4 for BOD5, TSS, TN (as N), TP (as P), respectively.

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 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.
Process Selection, Reactor Sizing, and Biogas Yield Estimation The average wastewater characteristics produced by a food processing plant are shown in Table A.2. If anaerobic treatment is proposed as a treatment or pretreatment option, provide initial working plans and estimates for the following: Pretreatment requirements b. Reactor size Biogas production d.

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.
A wastewater treatment plant receives 250 mg/L BOD, 45 mg/L NO3-N, and 0.08% TSS. What is the loading of each component (lb/d) if the plant flow is 730,000 gpd?
1b The solid-waste composition and the quantity of solid waste generated from two cities located in the developing world are shown in Table Q1b as follows: Table Q1b. The solid-waste composition and the quantity of solid waste generated from two cities.

Calculate the 5-day BOD of a domestic waste water based on the following data: volume of waste water added to 300 ml bottle = 6.0 ml, initial DO = 8.1 mg/l, and 5-day DO = 4.2 mg/l. What is the ultimate BOD assuming a k-rate of 0.1 per day?
A test bottle containing just seeded dilution water has its DO level drop by 1.0 mg/L in a five-day test. A 300-ml BOD bottle just filled with 15 ml of wastewater and the rest seeded dilution water (sometimes expressed as a dilution of 1:20) experiences a drop of 7.2 mg/L in the same period. What would be the five day BOD of the waste?
If an industrial plant discharges an effluent with a solids concentrationat a rate of 5000 lb/day, and if each person contributes 0.2 lb/day, what isthe population equivalent of the waste?
The landfill volume required for dry solid waste generated by a food factory per year is 300 m3. After drying the wet solid waste from the factory X% of it is recycled, followed by 2.5X% diversion for composting and 400 m3 for incineration, before the remainder is sent to the landfill. Using the information given below: Density of dry solid waste = 460 kg/m3 Daily generation of wet solid waste = 2200 kg Moisture content of the wet solid waste = 32% (ii) Determine X% and estimate the dimensions of the landfill site if the length: width : depth = 6:5:4
(a) 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? (b) From (a), 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?
