Collection Systems

The collection systems form a part of sanitary engineering, which is a sub-branch of civil engineering. It is also known as public health engineering and wastewater engineering. It is a methodology followed to remove and properly dispose of human waste, along with creating systems to provide safe and clean usable water. These measures ensure a hygienic and disease-free community. Sanitary engineering, apart from building sewer disposal units, is also involved in plumbing, fire protection, hydraulics, life safety, environmental protection, information technology, microbiology, pathology, and so on.

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?

Answer and show complete solution. Pls don't rejectA factory discharges waste water to a nearby river. The concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO) a few meters downstream of the factory’s discharge point was recorded for 10 consecutive days as shown in the table below.
