Consider the feasibility of treating the wastewater from the town of Nancy (Problem in a single-stage stone-media trickling-filter plant as diagrammed in Figure 12.21. The treated wastewater is required to meet the effluent standards of 30 mg/l of BOD and 30 mg/l of suspended solids at a wastewater temperature of 15°C. Assume a primary BOD removal efficiency of 35%. Size the trickling filters based on a BOD loading of 35 lb/1000 ft3/day, recirculation ratio of 0.5, and a stone-media depth of 7.0 ft. Calculate the volume of filter media required, filter surface area, hydraulic loading with recirculation in gallons per minute per square foot, and effluent BOD concentration using the NRC formula.
