QUESTION 2 You perform a BOD5 test on a domestic wastewater. Graphically describe the expected results, without using numbers, by drawing two curves on the following empty plot. One curve should describe the organic matter that is oxidized over time, and one curve should describe the organic matter that is remaining over time. At the appropriate locations on the plot, label the curves with these relevant variables: BODO, BODo, Lo, Loo. Organic Matter Time Attach File Browse My Computer Browse Content Collection

The following data have been obtained in a BOD test that is made to determine how well a wastewater treatment plant is operating. You need to process the data. What percentage of the BOD is being removed by this treatment plant? If this is a secondary treatment plant that is supposed to remove 85% of the BOD5, would you say it is operating properly?
What is BOD? Write down its purpose in wastewater treatment. Is it possible to detect BOD by using biosensors? Justify your answer.
Q 01 a) How will you reduce the turbidity value of a waste water sample by a reagent? Elaborate the process with example. (Assume the data)
A stream flows through a small town where an industry dischargesits effluent into the stream. Upstream characteristics prior to industrial discharge are as follows: fow rate 1000 m3/d, BOD5 2.5 mg/L,nitrates 2.0 mg/L, and temperature 19°C. The industry dischargesat 50 m3/d. According to regulatory requirements, the maximumallowable values in the stream following any discharge are BOD5 30mg/L, nitrates 4.0 mg/L, and temperature differential of 4°C fromupstream conditions. Calculate the maximum allowable values forthe industrial discharge.
ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING, WATER POLLUTION: 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 attached figure). Just below the discharge point, the DO of the stream is equal to 10.0 mg/L. FIND: By what percent should the BOD of the wastes be reduced to assure a healthy stream with at least 5.0 mg/L everywhere? Would a primary treatment plant be sufficient to achieve this reduction? Sketch the oxygen sag curve before and after the recommended treatment, labeling critical points (DOmin) location and value. 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 har downstream (miles) would the lowest DO occur? What ultimate BOD (L0 mg/L) of the mixture of the river and wastes just downstream of the discharge point would cause a…
A wastewater treatment plant receives 250 mg/L BOD, 45 mg/L NO3-N, and 0.08% TSS. What is the loading of each component (lb/d) if the plant flow is 730,000 gpd?
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?
A wastewater manager is concerned about the increasing number of intestinal illnesses in his town and the corresponding increased levels of a pathogen known to cause this illness found in wastewater samples.

A COD test is carried out on a batik factory wastewater. The relevant information is as follows. Volume of potassium dichromate standard solution 0.1N = 10.0mL Volume of wastewater sample = 20.0mL Wastewater sample dilution = 10X Fe^2+ standard solution = 0.1N Volume of Fe^2+ standard solution needed for wastewater sample = 13.55 mL Volume of Fe^2+ standard solution needed for distilled water = 34.70 mL. Calculate the COD value for the batik factory wastewater.

Determine how much extra volume is needed to treat the following wastewater in a CSTR than in a plug flow reactor. • Influent TOC: 273 mg/L • Required Effluent TOC: 57.0 mg/L • Flow: 792,500 gallons/day • First Order Microbiological Rate Coefficient (k’): 5.98/day Answer: 295,000 gallons 2. Discuss in detail at least two ways the k’ value may have been obtained and which technique is probably more accurate?
A company is currently discharging 200 L/min of 100 mg/L contaminant into a river. The river flowing past the company has an upstream flow rate of 3800 L/min with 0 mg/L of the target contaminant.

(b) How much clean water would be needed to dilute the contaminant stream to 20 mg/L.? (c) What would be the contaminant concentration past the point of discharge if the company's contaminant stream was diluted with the water in part b?
