e) Estimate the size of equalization tank for the wastewater treatment plant that can hold the raw sewage for 4 hours. Take the depth as 3 m. What would be the size of the smallest particle size with specific gravity 2.0 that can be 100% removed by this tank? Assume that the water temperature is 20°C

A rectangular horizontal-flow sedimentation basin in a conventional water treatment plant has been designed to treat a flow of 50,000 m3 /day. It has a length = 80 m, width = 20 m, and depth = 3.6 m. For this problem, assume temperature = 20 °C (density of water = 103 kg/m3 and viscosity = 10-3 kg/m·s) and laminar flow. a. What is the hydraulic detention time? Does this meet the typical criteria for this type of sedimentation basin? b....

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.

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...

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%...
