Envriromental Engineering ( wastewater treatment )

A high-rate aeration system produces 1140 m3/d of waste sludge. The sludge is wasted directly from the aerator and has a solids content of 3300 mg/L. This sludge is thickened by a dissolved air flotation unit to 3.0 percent solids. Determine the volume of the thickened sludge.

A completely mixed activated sludge process is designed to treat 20,000 m3 /d of domestic wastewater having a BOD5 concentration of 250 mg/L following primary treatment. The NPDES permit requirement for effluent BOD5 and TSS is 20 mg/L for each. The biokinetic parameters have been established as: yield = 0.6 , k = 5/d, Ks = 60 mg/L, and kd = 0.06/d. The MLVSS concentration in the aeration tank is to be maintained at 3000 mg/L and the ratio of...

Sooner City Reclamation Plant is a completely mixed activated sludge process designed to treat 20,000 m3/d of domestic wastewater having an influent BOD5 concentration of 350 mg/L (assume a 28.6% reduction in during primary treatment). Use typical activated sludge kinetic constants except for kd = 0.06 1/d. Assume that the MLVSS concentration in the aeration basin is maintained at 3,000 mg/L and the ratio of VSS:TSS is 0.75. Permit requires that the effluent BOD5 and TSS concentrations do not exceed...

A wastewater treatment plant that treats wastewater to secondary treatment standards uses a primary sedimentation process followed by an activated sludge process composed of aeration tanks and a secondary clarifiers. This problem focuses on the activated sludge process. The activated sludge process receives a flow of 15 million gallons per day (MGD). The primary sedimentation process effluent has a BOD5 concentration of 180 mgBOD5/L (this concentration is often referred as S). Before flowing into the activated sludge process, the primary...

The town of Camp Verde has been directed to upgrade its primary Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) to a secondary plant that can meet an effluent standard of 25 mg/L BOD5 and 30 mg/L suspended solids. They have selected a completely mixed activated sludge system for the upgrade. The existing primary treatment plant has a flow rate of 0.029 m3/s. The effluent from the primary tank has a BOD5 of 240 mg/L. Using the following assumptions, estimate the required volume...

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%...

An industrial wastewater flowing at a rate of 37,000 m3/day is contaminated by 187 mg/L of propanol – CH3CH2CH2OH. As an environmental consultant, you propose to treat the water in an activated sludge process in which propanol is oxidized by oxygen into carbon dioxide – CO2. The reaction is highly favorable and assumed to be complete. a) Equilibrate the half-reactions and overall reaction that are expected to occur during the treatment process. b)Determine the theoretical quantity of oxygen (in mol/day)...
