How many gallons of 12-percent sodium hypochlorite solution are needed to disinfect a reservoir 20 feet in diameter and 6 feet deep? An initial chlorine dose of 80 milligrams per liter (mg/L) is expected to maintain a chlorine residual of over 50 mg during the 24-hour disinfection period.
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.

Determine the exact and approximate alkalinity of a water sample that contains 120.0 mg/L of (CO3)^2- and 75.0 mg/L of (HCO3)^- at a pH of 9.7 at 25 degrees Celcius
Estimate the reduction in bacteria during the passage of wastewater that initially contains 106organisms per milliliter through three stabilization ponds that are arranged in series. The volumes of the three ponds are 10,000; 20,000; and 6,000 m3, respectively. The flowrate is 1000 m3/d. Assume that steady-state conditions apply, that the ponds are completely mixed due to wind action, that first-order decay kinetics apply, and that the value of the reaction rate constant k is 1.0 d-1. What is the overall conversion for these ponds in series? Instead of having three separate ponds in series what would the conversion be for one equivalent pond of the same total volume?
A small town discharges its sewage effluent in a nearby river. The river has an initial background BOD of 23.5 mg/L.The oxygen deficit just upstream from the point of discharge of the sewerage is 4 mg/L. The river is flowing at aspeed of 43 km/day. You have been asked to determine the impact of this town’s sewerage discharge on the rivergiven that the deoxygenation rate coefficient kd is 0.3/day, and the reaeration rate coefficient kr is 0.5/day.a) A sensitive fish species inhabits the river 120 km from the point of discharge. Determine if the impact of theBOD will have led to the minimum DO before or after the location of the fish species.b) Find the minimum DO due to the effluent discharge.c) Discuss the oxygen deficit in relation to the location of the fish species and whether the fish are at risk due tothe discharge upstream.
A city of 20,000 people disposes of 1.05 m3/s of treated sewage that still has an ultimate BOD of 28.0 mg/L and 1.8 mg/L DO into a river. Upstream from the outfall, the river has a flow rate of 7.08 m3/s and a velocity of 0.37 m/s. At this point, the ultimate BOD and the DO in the river are 3.6 and 7.6 mg/L, respectively. The saturation value of DO (at the temperature of the river) is 8.5 mg/L. The deoxygenation coefficient is 0.61/day, and the reaeration coefficient is 0.76/day. Assume complete mixing and the velocity in the river is the same upstream and downstream of the outfall. What is the oxygen deficit and the ultimate BOD just downstream from the outfall (just after mixing, before any reaction can occur)?
Wastewater that has a volumetric flow rate of 0.4 m3 /s and an ultimate BOD of 25.0 mg/L is flowing into a river that has a volumetric flow rate of 4.0 m3 /s and an ultimate BOD of 2.0 mg/L. The dissolved oxygen content for the wastewater and the river is 0.80 mg/L and 8.0 mg/L, respectively. What is the dissolved oxygen concentration just after mixing? If the temperature of the river is 17oC, what is the initial deficit?
Two streams, each with a flow rate of 10 m3/s, combine to form a single stream. The first stream has fluoride concentration of 20 mg/L and the second has a fluoride concentration of 50 mg/L.(a) Draw a diagram of the system, showing the control volume.(b) Find the downstream concentration of fluoride, assuming complete mixing and conservation of fluoride.
Drinking water from a dam which undergoes conventional treatment has a computed chlorine demand (due to silt, corrosion and bacteria) amounting to 3.5 ppm. Per PNSDW, such drinking water must have a mandatory chlorine residual of 1.0 ppm at source. If production flow is at 500 cu.m./day, calculate the chlorine dosage needed in pounds per day (PPD).
