A mechanically cleaned bar screen is installed ahead of an aerated grit chamber in a wastewater treatment plant. The width of the screen channel is 0.86 m. At peak flow condition the flow upstream of the screen is 0.72 m3/s with a depth of 1.40 m. For a screen opening area of 0.84 m2, determine the head loss across the screen when the screen is 40% clogged, consider the discharge coefficient to be 0.6.

A mechanically cleaned wastewater bar rack consists of 100 bars. The width of each bar is 1 cm and the clear spacing between the bars is 2 cm. The wastewater flow velocity in the channel upstream of the screen is 0.5 m/sec. Question: What is the head-loss (pressure drop) through the bar rack. Note: all required input data have been provided; no assumption required.

. A wastewater treatment plant is to be designed for the 5-d sustained peak flowrate given an average daily flow of 13 MGD. Two aerated grit chambers in parallel will provide a total detention time of 4 minutes at peak flow. Determine: a) The volume of each chamber, in m3 . b) Chamber dimensions, in m, (length and width) if the design depth is 3.5 m and W:D is 1.2:1. Is the calculated L:W within the recommended range? c) Using...

Problem #3: Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Stream Quality A wastewater treatment plant designed for a community of 45,000 people has a flow of 100 gal/person/day and a BOD5 loading of 0.2 lb/person/day. The upstream characteristics of the receiving waters are: stream flow rate = 20 cfs and BOD5 = 2 mg/L The water quality standards require the in-stream BOD5 to be less than 7 mg/L in this stretch of the river. The minimum BOD removal efficiency that the treatment...
