the design flow for a plant, using 4 tricking filters with a plastic media, is 0.5 mgd. the filters will be in parallel, the influent bod5 to filters will be 200 mg/l, the required effluent bod 5 will e 25 mg/l, the trickling filter design depth is 25 ft. lab testing conducted at 25c and 40 ft depth found the biodegradability constant to be 0.865/ft 0.5 d ^0.5. find the diameter required for each trickling filters.

A trickling filter plant consists of a primary sedimentation tank, a trickling filter 21 m in diameter and 2 m depth, and a secondary sedimentation tank. The primary effluent BOD is 100 mg/L, the plant final effluent is 25 mg/L and the recirculation flow is 0.5 of the wastewater flow entering the plant. The temperature of the water is 15oC. The constants for the random plastic media are n = 0.5 and   k20 = 0.055 min-1. Calculate the hydraulic loading.

A municipal wastewater having a BOD5 of 225 mg/L is to be treated by a two-stage trickling filter. The desired effluent quality is 30 mg/L of BOD5. If both of the filter depths are to be 1.83 m and the recirculation ratio is 2:1, find the required filter diameters if both the two trickling filers have same removal efficiencies. Use NRC equation and the following design assumptions. Design assumptions: o Influent flow = 10,000 m3 /d o Recirculation ratio =...

The volumetric flow to the ACME wastewater treatment plant is 25 MGD. The influent soluble BOD5 is 200 mg/L and the effluent soluble BOD5 is 8 mg/L. The plant is designed to operate with a mean cell (biomass) residence time of 10 days. The yield coefficient is 0.6 mg biomass/mg substrate, and the biomass decay rate is 0.09/day. The reactor is to operate at a biomass concentration of 2500 mg/L. The thickened underflow biomass concentration from the secondary clarifier is...

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...

You have been retained to design a wastewater treatment plant using a conventional activated sludge process for a town of 40,000 people. The industrial flow contribution to the sewer system is 300,000 gallons per day. Effluent discharge standards require effluent BOD5 and total suspended solids concentration of <10 mg/l. Assume the following design criteria are applicable: Domestic sewage flow = 100 gal/cap/day (including I/I) BOD loading = 0.18 lbs/cap/day TSS loading = 0.20 lbs/cap/day BOD removal in primary = 33%...
