It takes 22 hours for water to flow from point A to Point B in a river. The flow rate and BOD5 in the river are 20m/h and 2mg/L, respectively. A wastewater of flow rate 2m/h containing BOD; of 150 mg/L is discharged into the river at point A. Calculate BOD; concentration at downstream Point B by treating the river as 11 CMFRS in series with equal hydraulic detention times. The first order decay coefficient k of the BOD; is assumed to be 0.05/h.

A wastewater treatment plant has four primary clarifers, eachwith diameter of 15 m and side water depth of 4 m. The average daily fow is 24,000 m3/d. The effuent weir is located onthe periphery of each tank. Calculate the surface overfow rate,detention time, and weir loading rates. If one tank is taken out ofservice for maintenance, what happens to the overfow rate anddetention time? Is the design adequate for the average fow withthe three tanks in service?
What is the ultimate BOD 24 km downstream from the outfall? > Answer: 3.89 g/m3 What is the DO deficit 24 km downstream of the effluent discharge? > Answer: 3.192 g/m3 Question: Is it possible to reduce the BOD of the effluent to maintain the DO above 7.0 mg/L at all downstream locations along the river? If so, what is the target BOD of the effluent?
A primary clarifier for a municipal wastewater treatment plant is to be designed for an average flow of 7570 m3/d. the regulatory agency criteria for primary clarifiers are as follows: peak overflow rate = 89.6 m3/m2.d, average overflow rate = 36.7 m3/m2d, minimum side water depth = 3 m, and peak weir loading rate = 389 m3/m.d. The ratio of peak flow to average flow = 2.75. Determine: Diameter of the sedimentation basin The length of the peripheral weir. Assume that the weir launder has a width of 50 cm (from the tank side), and the weirs are installed on one side of the launder.
A stream with a flow of 1.7 m3/s and BOD 3.4 mg/l is saturated with DO (9.27 mg/l at 20oC). It receives a treated effluent discharge from a cocoa processing factory of BOD 6780 kg/day and DO of 5.0 mg/l. The BOD of the stream immediately after mixing is 7.6 mg/l. The DO at a point 36 km downstream is 7.20 mg/l. The average velocity of the stream flow is 0.2 m/s. Determine the flow and the BOD in mg/l of the treated effluent discharged from the cocoa processing factory into the stream. Assume the temperature is 20oC throughout, k1 for effluent/water mixture is 0.1/day, k2 for stream is 0.4/day.

Poorly treated municipal wastewater is discharged to a stream. The river flow rate upstream of the discharge point is Qus = 8.7 cubic meters per second. The discharge occurs at a flow of Qd = 0.9 cubic meters per second and has a BOD concentration of 50 mg/L. Assuming that the upstream BOD concentration is negligible. (a) What is the BOD concentration just downstream of the discharge point, after mixing? (b) If the stream has a cross-sectional area of 10 square meters, what would the BOD concentration be 50 km downstream? BOD is removed with a first-order decay rate constant equal to 0.20/day.
