The treated waste water is being discharged into a river that has a temperature of 15°C. The BOD rate constant determined in the laboratory for this mixed water is 0.12 per day (base e) at 20°C (Temperature coefficient, 1.047). What fraction of maximum oxygen consumption will occur in first four days?

Sea water can be desalinated by using reverse osmosis. A plant treats 4,000 m3 /day of feedwater containing 27,000 ppm of salinity. The product salinity is 300 ppm. What is theproduct recovery (desalinated water) based on the volume of the feed? The salinity of thebrine output is 52,000 ppm.
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)?
The flow of a river is 1.5 m3/s, the river is polluted with the pesticide permethrin and flows into a lake (100 m x 100 m 2.5 m) 25000m3. Steady state concentration of permethrin leaving the lake is 1.4 ppm and the average cross-sectional area of the river is 2.7 m2. The half-life of permethrin in this environment is 19 hrs.
