- A BOD test is run using 100mL of treated wastewater. The initial DO of the mixture after diluting the waste sample with distilled water is 9.0mg/L. After 5-day incubation, the DO measured was 4.0mg/L. After a long period of time, the DO is 2.0mg/L and no longer seems to be decreasing. Assume that nitrification has been inhibited. Determine the following: a)BOD5 & BODu of the waste sample b) BOD5 of the mixture and c) k THANK YOUarrow_forwardThe results of a jar test on a surface water supply sample revealed that the optimum dose of alum (Al2(SO4)3.14H2O) as coagulant is 17 mg/L. Furthermore, the water has total alkalinity = 50 mg/L as CaCO3; pH = 7.8; and residual turbidity at optimum alum dose = 4 NTU. The water treatment plant has a mean flow of 10m3/hour. Determine: The kg of alum per year needed in the operation of the plant. The residual alkalinity in the sample, following the addition of alum at optimum dose.
