The wastewater having an organic concentration of 54 mg/l is flowing at a steady rate of 0.8 m³/day through a detention tank of dimensions 2 m x 4 m x 2 m. If the contents of the tank are well mixed and the decay contant is 0.1 per day, the outlet concentration (in mg/l, up to one decimal place) is

A reactive chemical disposed of by dilution in a river dissipates at a uniform rate of 0.15 mg/lper hour. The waste discharge is 7 million gallons per day containing 35 mg/l, while thestream has zero concentration with a flow above the sewer outfall of 102 ft3/s. If the meanvelocity in the river is 0.8 ft/s, calculate the distance downstream that the chemical residual persist.
Wastewater that has a volumetric flow rate of 0.4 m3 /s and an ultimate BOD of 25.0 mg/L is flowing into a river that has a volumetric flow rate of 4.0 m3 /s and an ultimate BOD of 2.0 mg/L. The dissolved oxygen content for the wastewater and the river is 0.80 mg/L and 8.0 mg/L, respectively. What is the dissolved oxygen concentration just after mixing? If the temperature of the river is 17oC, what is the initial deficit?
A Semi-solid waste storage has a volume of 1145 m3. The basin is initially 71% empty. The semi-solid density is 1521 kg/m3 is taken away from the storage tank at a rate of 5211.81 kg/day. How long will the basin take to be 91% emptied? Assume the storage is now initially full 23% and re-estimate the time to empty it
5 ml wastewater is added to a 333 ml BOD flask. The initial dissolved O2 concentration was 13 mg/l and final dissolved O2 concentration was 4 mg calculate the BOD?
You have a DAF with wastewater flow of 650 L/min, with a solids concentration of 15 g/L. Density of the wastewater is 1100 kg/m3. What air flow is required for an air to solids ratio of 0.3. Assume density of air is 1.2 kg/m3.
A wastewater treatment plant has been operating with the following specifications:flow rate = 7,630 m3/d, aeration tank volume = 1,270 m3, mixed liquor volatile suspendedsolids = 2,600 mg/l. The soluble BOD in the plant influent used to be 133 mg/l, but hasrecently changed to 222 mg/l. What is the new MLVSS this plant should use to maintain thesame F/M ratio as before? (Ans. Xnew = 4,340 mg MLVSS/l)
A primary clarifer removes 35% of BOD5 and 55% of suspendedsolids from the incoming wastewater. Calculate the mass of solidsand mass of BOD5 removed in kg/d for a plant processing 4500 m3/dof wastewater with 275 mg/L BOD5 and 400 mg/L SS.
Assume the described is at steady state. A fluid goes up to an aquifer that has groundwater and a chloride concentration of zero. The groundwater reservoir is 20,000 m^3 and has an outflow of 2 m^3/hour. If the fluid has a chloride concentration of 0.04 M and the aquifer outflow has 0.0084 M, how much chloride is precipitated in the reservoir? Any missing chloride is due to chemical reaction consumption.
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. 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.
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 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.
