A well‐mixed sewage lagoon is receiving 430 m^3/d of untreated sewage. The lagoon has a surface area of 10 hectares and a depth of 1.0 m. The pollutant concentration in the sewage discharging into the lagoon is 180 mg/L. The pollutants degrades in the lagoon according to first‐order kinetics with a reaction rate constant of 0.70 d^‐1. Assuming no other water losses or gains and that the lagoon is completely mixed, find the steady‐state concentration of the pollutant in the lagoon effluent.

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.

As an operator of a wastewater treatment facility, you have learned that your plant runs well at an SRT (based on MLVSS (X) in the aeration basin) of 12 days. If today’s MLVSS (X) concentration is 2,700 mg/L and the RAS (Xr) concentration is 5,500 mg/L, how many L of sludge should you waste from the secondary clarifier today? Other design conditions: Average influent flow = 12,000 m3/d Influent soluble BOD = 150 mg/L Required effluent TSS = 30 mg/L Aeration tank Volume = 1,000 m3
