A desalination plant produces 10,000 m3/day of brine with concentration of 80 g (gram)/L. This brine will be thrown into the ocean. But the concentration has to be lowered to 60 dS/m. How much seawater should be mixed with the brine if the seawater has a salinity of 3%.? Calculate how much salt is in the brine in Tons/day.
A coal-fired power plant discharges 1 m^3/s of cooling water into a river, which has a flow of 9 m^3/s and a temperature of 20 degree C. According to the regulation, the temperature in the river immediately below the discharge cannot be increased by higher than 1 degree C. Therefore, what is the highest temperature of the cooling water is allowed for discharge?
How much dissolved oxygen (mg/L) is present in 27°C freshwater?

- 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)?arrow_forwardThe volume of ocean water is 1338x10^6 km^3.
