Problem 6. A new manufacturing facility is being located in your town. It plans to produce 2,000 m³/day of a wastewater that consists primarily of water and the chemical phenol dissolved in it at a concentration of 5 mg/L. Phenol has a chemical formula of C6H5OH. The company has asked the municipal wastewater treatment to consider treating this industrial waste. Your plant currently treats 30,000 m³/day with an average influent of 350 mg COD/L. a) Estimate the increase in COD loading (kg COD/day) if you accept the industrial waste discharge? b) Estimate the additional amount of oxygen (in kg O2/day) needed to oxidize the phenol at the treatment plant.

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
The influent of a sewage treatment plant has a TSS concentration of 118 mg/L. What is theconcentration of suspended solids in the plant effluent if the plant is achieving 92 percent TSSremoval efficiency? If the flow rate is 12 mgd, how many pounds of solids are discharged perday into the receiving stream?
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 waste-holding lagoon situated near the main plant of a chemicalcompany receives sludge on a daily basis. When the lagoon is full, it is necessary toremove the sludge to a site located 4.95 kilometers from the main plant. Currently,when the lagoon is full, the sludge is removed by pumping it into a tank truck andhauling it away. This process requires the use of a portable pump that has an initialcost of $800 and an 8-year life. The company can operate the pump at a cost of $25per day, but the truck and driver cost $110 per day.Alternatively, the company has a proposal to install a pump and pipeline to theremote site. The pump would have an initial cost of $600, a life of 10 years, and acost of $3 per day to operate. (a) If the MARR is 15% per year and the pipeline willcost $3.52 per meter to construct, how many days per year must the lagoon requirepumping to justify construction of the pipeline? (b) The lagoon was pumped40 times last year. Which alternative would have been cheaper?…
A waste with a 5-day BOD (BOD)=200mg/L and k = 0.1 day¹ is discharged to a river at a rate of 1 m/s. The river has flow rate of 9 m/s and a background ultimate BOD (Lo) of 2 mg/L upstream of the discharge. (a) Calculate the ultimate BOD (Le) of the waste. (b) Furthermore, assuming instantaneous mixing after discharge, calculate Lo of the river water after it has received the waste. Ans.: (a) Ultimate BOD of wastewater = 508.3 mg/L, (b) Ultimate BOD of river water after discharge of waste-52.63 mg/L.
(b) 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? (c) From (b), 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?

a. The wastewater from a manufacturing treatment plant is discharged to a municipal `treatment plant for processing with domestic wastewater. The characteristics of the wastewater from the manufacturing treatment plant are 3500 mg/l BOD, 4500 mg/l SS, 70 mg/l nitrogen and 2 mg/l phosphorous. The characteristics of the domestic wastewater are 350 mg/l BOD, 285 mg/l SS, 50 mg/l N and 11 mg/l P. If the required BOD/N/P weight ratio is 100/5/1, what is the minimum quantity of domestic wastewater required per 1000 gallons of manufacturing wastewater to provide adequate nutrients for biological treatment and the concentration of SS in the combined wastewater? b. What additional of NH4OH and H3PO4 would be required in pounds per million gallons of wastewater to provide the necessary nutrient levels for the treatment of the manufacturing wastewater described above (a) if the domestic wastewater had not been combined with it.
If a manufacturing facility generates raw wastewater that is predominantly composed of dissolved and suspended solids and with ThOD of 100 mg/L, which of the following treatment equipment you could do away with? Check all that applies.
You are building a wastewater lagoon with an inlet/outlet flow rate of 3,100 m3/day. The BOD inlet load is 26 mg/L and you need to achieve 12 mg/L at the outlet. The half-life of BOD is 2.4 days. What is the volume required for the lagoon? If the wastewater stopped entering the lagoon and was replaced by freshwater, how long would it take for the outlet BOD concentration to reach 1 ppm?
