A rock trickling filter operates with an influent of 2.8 mgd, 215 mg/l BOD, and 240 mg/l suspended solids. The primary clarifier removes 50 percent of the influent solids and 35 percent of the BOD. The two filters are 60 ft in diameter and 5 ft deep. Calculate the loading rate. Significant odors are present and a third filter of 60 ft is being considered. If it is constructed, what would be the revised loading?
