is proposed to discharge a wastewater to a small river (wastewater and river characteristics given below)....
A wastewater discharge has a flow equal to upstream flow of the river it is being discharged into. The river upstream has a DO of 7 mg/L, and negligible BOD. The wastewater discharge has an ultimate BOD of 50 mg/L, and negligible DO. It is determined that it would cost an equal amount of money to reduce the BOD to 25 mg/L or to increase the DO to 8 mg/L. Which alternative, considering DO sag, would you judge to be...
The Big Bear town council has asked that you determine whether the discharge of the town's wastewater into the Salmon River will reduce the DO below the state standard of 3.00 mg/L. The DO at saturation at 28 C is 7.81 mg/L. The other pertinent data follow. (16 pts) 2.

The Audhumla town council has asked that you determine whether the discharge of the town's wastewater into the Einherjar River will reduce the DO below the state standard of 5,00 mg.L-1 at Gotterdämmerung, 5.79 km downstream or at any other point downstream. The pertinent data are as follows: Parameter Wastewater Einherjar River Flow (in m3 5-1) 0.280 0.877 for Ult-BOD at 15°C (mg L-1) 6.44 7.00 DO (in mg L-1) 1.00 6.00 kd at 28°C (in day-1) N/A 0.199 kr...
A tannery discharges wastewater into a river under the following conditions: Parameter Wastewater River 1.148 Flow (m/s) BOD, at 15°C (mg/L) DO (mg/L) Temperature, Speed (m/s) Depth (m) 1.00 15.0 7.222 7.66 6.00 15.0 0.300 2.92 The BOD rate constant, k, in the river/wastewater mixture is measured as 0.379 d at 20°C. Deter- mine the ultimate BOD (in kg/d) that the tannery may discharge and still keep the DO in the minimum DO in the river above 5 mg/L.
The East Hartford WWTP discharges 150 MGD of treated wastewater into the CT river. The treated was tested in the lab and found to have aBOD5 of 17.5 mg/L and an ultimate BOD (Lo) of 92 mg/L at 20oC. Find the reaction rate K, for the treated wastewater. The CT river has a flow of 250 m2/s and an ultimate BOD (Lo) of 6 mg/L. the DO of the river is 4.5 mg/L and the DO of the wastewater is0.2...
O The town of Gangnam in Seoul, Korea discharges 17360 m3/day of treated wastewater in the Han River. The treated wastewater has a BOD5 of 12 mg/L and a BOD decay constant, k, of 0.12 day at 20 °C. The river has a flow rate of 0.43 m/s and an ultimate BOD, Lo, of 5 mg/L. The DO of the river is 6.5 mg/L and the D0 of the wastewater is 1.0 mg/L (a) Calculate the ultimate BOD of the...
Determine the minimum dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration in a river downstream from a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) discharging at a flow rate of 5.00 million gallons per day (MGD). The WWTP achieves secondary treatment standards (BOD5 = 30 mg/L). The wastewater temperature is 25.0 °C and contains 4.0 mg/L of DO. The characteristics of the river upstream from the point of discharge are Q=20.0 cubic feet per second (cfs), T = 20.0°C, BODu = 3.0 mg/L. and DO = 7.0...
A community wastewater treatment plant has an average discharge flow rate of 3.5 MGD (million gal per day) with a BOD5 concentration of 28 mg/L. The stream receiving the discharge has a flow rate of 12 ft3 /s and a BOD5 of 11 mg/L. You may assume k = 0.18 d -1 . a. Determine the BOD5 immediately after the streams have mixed. b. Determine the BODu for the stream after the streams have mixed. c. Downstream of the discharge...
Please answer #5 4. What is the theoretical oxygen demand for a wastewater flow of 25 MGD (million gallons per day) containing 100 mg/L ethanol (C2H5OH)? 5. If this wastewater was discharged into a stream flowing at 10 m/s with an ultimate BOD of 5 mg/L, dissolved oxygen (DO) of 5mg/L, and deoxygenation rate coefficient ka of 0.2/day: (a) Find ultimate BOD of mixture just downstream of wastewater discharge. State all assumptions used. (b) In your opinion, is the wastewater...
QUESTION 3 a) After a point of wastewater discharge, the dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration is found as 83.33% of the saturation DO. The remaining BOD after 5 days at the point of discharge is 10.13 mg/L. The BOD rate constant determined in the laboratory under standard conditions is 0.115/day. The saturation DO concentration in the river water is 9 mg/L. The deoxygenation and the reaeration rate coefficients are 0.25/day and 0.45/day, respectively. The river travels at a velocity of 0.12...
