2 A groundwater (Q1 = 5.0 L/s) reaches a point of convergence (mixing) in a river (Q = 1.0 m3/s) where an industrial wastewater discharge (Q2 = 10 L/s) also converges. /s). If the groundwater has ferrous iron with concentration [Fe2+] = 10.0 mg/L, the industrial wastewater has organic matter with concentration TOC = 50 mg/L, determine the COD of the river downstream of the mixing point.
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.
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.
Question 4. An industrial process produces a by-product compound ‘X’ which exceeds the sewer use limit. Therefore, before the wastewater can be discharged to the sewer, the concentration of ‘X’ must be reduced to below 30 mg C/L. The industrial wastewater, with a concentration of 1780 mg C/L, flows through a long series of channels before reaching the treatment reactor. The long series of channels can be modelled as a PFR with a volume of 23 m3 and the treatment reactor can be modelled as a CSTR with a volume of 15 m3. The compound ‘X’ naturally degrades in the series of channels before the treatment reactor with a reaction rate constant of 0.75 mg/(L·min). In the treatment reactor the addition of chemicals and catalysts cause compound ‘X’ to degrade according to second order kinetics described with a reaction rate constant of 0.015 L/(mg·min). a) Derive the appropriate HRT equations for the PFR channels and the CSTR treatment reactor (state all assumptions and show all work). b) Does…
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. A fish hatchery is located 9.6 km downstream of the waste discharge. The hatchery requires 5.0 mg/L DO for healthy fish growth and reproduction. Is the hatchery requirement being met? show all work
Problem 5.27 Suppose the only source of BOD in a river is untreated wastes that are being discharged from a food processing plant. The resulting oxygen sag curve has a minimum value of DO somewhere downstream equal to 3.0 mg/L See figure P 5.27. Just below the discharge point, the DO of the stream is equal to the saturation value of 10.0 mg/L. By what percent should the DO of the wastes be reduced to assure a healthy stream with at least 5.0 mg/L of DO everywhere? Would a primary treatment plant be sufficient to achieve this reduction? Assume that a primary treatment plant removes 35% of BOD. If the stream flows 60 miles per day, has a reaeration coefficient kr equal to 0.80/day, and has a deoxygenation coefficient kd of 0.20/day, how far downstream (miles) would the lowest DO occur? What ultimate BOD (L0 mg/L) of the mixture of river and waste just downstream from the discharge point would cause the minimum DO to be 5.0 mg/L? d.Sketch the oxygen sag curve before and after treatment…
