A stream with a flow of 1.7 m3/s and BOD 3.4 mg/l is saturated with DO (9.27 mg/l at 20oC). It receives a treated effluent discharge from a cocoa processing factory of BOD 6780 kg/day and DO of 5.0 mg/l. The BOD of the stream immediately after mixing is 7.6 mg/l. The DO at a point 36 km downstream is 7.20 mg/l. The average velocity of the stream flow is 0.2 m/s. Determine the flow and the BOD in mg/l of the treated effluent discharged from the cocoa processing factory into the stream. Assume the temperature is 20oC throughout, k1 for effluent/water mixture is 0.1/day, k2 for stream is 0.4/day.
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 primary clarifier for a municipal wastewater treatment plant is to be designed for an average flow of 7570 m3/d. the regulatory agency criteria for primary clarifiers are as follows: peak overflow rate = 89.6 m3/m2.d, average overflow rate = 36.7 m3/m2d, minimum side water depth = 3 m, and peak weir loading rate = 389 m3/m.d. The ratio of peak flow to average flow = 2.75. Determine: Diameter of the sedimentation basin The length of the peripheral weir. Assume that the weir launder has a width of 50 cm (from the tank side), and the weirs are installed on one side of the launder.
