3. (6 pts) Raw wastewater with initial BOD5 = 265 mg/L is treated in Wastewater Treatment...
While interning at a wastewater treatment plant, you conduct a seeded BOD5 test of the lant's effluent. For the experimental bottle, you insert 30 mL of test sample into the 300-mL ottle and fill the rest with seeded dilution water. You fill a blank bottle with seeded dilution ater. You measure the following dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations at the start and end f the 5-day test: Bottle Initial DO (mg/L) Final DO (mg/L) Experimental 8.1 4.6 Blank 7.8 6.7 hat...
Two samples are brought to the laboratory for the BOD test. Please calculate BOD5 for both, using laboratory DO data. a. For sample A, seeded BOD test was performed. The initial DO concentration in the BOD bottle, which was filled with 2 mL of sample and 298 mL of seeded dilution water, was 8.9 mg/L just after preparation. After an incubation period of five days, the final DO concentration was reported as 1.8 mg/L. Meanwhile, DO concentration in the seed...
You have collected water samples of the influent (raw sewage) and effluent (treated sewage) at Houston Wastewater Treatment Plant. You plan to conduct the BOD5 test to determine the BOD rate constant, k. A. Would you expect the rate constants to be the same or different in these two samples? If different, which would be higher and why? B. If the BOD5 for the raw sewage sample is 600 mg/L, and the ultimate BOD is 650 mg/L at 20oC, find...
ENV3006C HW#4 The following data provided to you. Calculate the BODS of the WW sample (mg/L) are Seeded wastewater (WW): Initial DO 8.2 mg/L; Volume of wastewater Final DO (after 5 days) 2.5 mg/L Total volume in BOD bottle = 300 mL 5 mL Seeded dilution water: Final DO (after 5 days) 7.3 mg/L Initial DO 8.3 mg/L; Volume of seeded dilution water 300 mL
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...
A city discharges 16,000 m3/d of treated wastewater into a nearby river. The treated wastewater has a BOD5 of 12 mg/L and k of 0.12 d-1 at 20oC. The river has a flow rate of 0.43 m3/s and an ultimate BOD of 5.0 mg/L. The DO of the river is 6.5 mg/L and the DO of the wastewater is 0 mg/L. Compute the DO and initial ultimate BOD after mixing.
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...
7. A BOD test is run using 100 mL of treated wastewater effluent mixed with 200 mL of dilution water (containing no BOD). The initial DO of the mix is 9.0 mg/L After 5 days, the DO is 4.0 mg/L. After a long period of time, the DO is 2.0 mg/L, and it no longer seems to be dropping. Assume nitrification has been inhibited so that only carbonaceous BOD is measured (a) What is the 5-day BOD of the wastewater?...
Water with 1.0 mg/L methylene chloride + 0.01 mg/L tetrachloroethylene), 70 kg adult drinks 2L/day for 30 years. What is hazard index? RfD = 0.060 for methylene chloride, RfD = 0.010 for tetrachloride 1 0.512 2 0.029 3 0.483 4 0.00029 q2) A test bottle (Blank) containing just seeded dilution water has its DO level drop by 1.1 mg/L in a five-day test. A 300-mL BOD bottle filled with 30 mL of wastewater and the rest seeded dilution water (this...
4. A 20 mL wastewater sample was mixed with 280 mL deionized (DI) water in a standard BOD bottle. The 5- day BOD test provided an initial dissolved oxygen concentration (DO intial) = 9 mg/L and a final dissolved oxygen concentration (DO final) = 3.5 mg/L. The BOD experiment was carried out at 20°C and the BOD rate constant at 20°C is 0.22/day. a. Find the dilution factor (P) and BODs value at 20°CY b. Find the ultimate BOD of...
