Question

6. An industry generates 4 million gallons per day (MGD) (that is 15,000m³/day) of liquid industrial wastewater having BOD? of 1000 mg/L and reaction rate of 2.0/day. Because of the high BOD, there is a plan to build an industrial pre-treatment system at an industrial park. Effluent from the pre-treatment will be discharged into the city sewer for final polishing at the city wastewater treatment plant. Determine: a. Percent BOD removal if the wastewater is treated in one 5000m³ continuous flow stirred tank reactor. 5 pts b. Percent BOD removal if the wastewater is treated in one 5000m³ plug flow reactor. 5pts c. Percent BOD removal if the wastewater is treated in one 2500m³ continuous flow stirred tank reactor followed by one 2500m³ plug flow reactor. 10 pts d. Percent BOD removal if the wastewater is treated in one 2500m³ plug flow reactor followed by one 2500m³ continuous flow stirred tank reactor. 10 pts e. Percent BOD removal if the wastewater is treated in one 2500m³ continuous flow stirred tank reactor followed by another 2500m³ continuous flow stirred tank reactor (two CSTRs in series). 10 pts f. Percent BOD removal if the wastewater is treated in in one 2500m³ plug flow reactor followed by another 2500m³ plug flow reactor (two plug flow reactors in series). 20 pts

Text: 08-2 (Show a diagram; mass balance) Municipal wastewater is treated in a wastewater treatment plant with two secondary treatment trains in parallel. Given the following information and assumptions: average flow of 10 million gallons per day; plant influent BOD5 = 200 mg/L; plant effluent BOD5 = 15 mg/L; typical BOD removal in the primary sedimentation system as described in your textbook (MZ 9.5); first-order treatment kinetics in the biological reactor (k = 8.5/d); no soluble BOD removal in the secondary tank (so the aeration basin must do all the treatment); kBOD = 0.2/d. (a) Calculate the area (in ft2) and volume (in ft3) needed for each primary settling tank assuming the overflow rate is not to exceed 1100 gpd/ft2 and the detention time is to be at least 2 hours. Assume a set depth of 12 ft. (b) Calculate the hydraulic detention time and volume of each aeration tank if it is a complete mix reactor operating under steady-state conditions. (c) Calculate the diameter of each circular secondary clarifier if the overflow rate is not to exceed 700 gpd/ft2. Round up to the nearest ft. (Hints: Use the larger area that meets the two criteria for the primary clarifier.) Answers: (a) 4.64x10^3 ft2, 5.57x10^4 ft3, (b) 653,250 ft3, 23.5 h based on typical BOD removal in the primary clarifier, (c) 96 ft

question-2-a-completely-mixed-biological-reactor-treating-an-industrial-wastewater-has-a-primary-clarifier-effluent-bod5-of-135-mgl-the-plant-permit-is-for-an-effluent-bod5-of-10-mgl-and-15-17236

A completely mixed biological reactor, treating an industrial wastewater, has a primary clarifier effluent BOD5 of 135 mg/L. The plant permit is for an effluent BOD5 of 10 mg/L and 15 mg/L of suspended solids. The effluent suspended solids have a BOD5 of 0.5 mg BOD5 per mg suspended solids. If μmax = 3 d-1, Ks = 30 g/m3, Kd = 0.06 d-1, Y = 0.6 mg MLVSS/mg BOD, and influent flow rate is 18.9 MLD (million liters per day), determine the required reactor volume, hydraulic and mean cell retention times, as well as biomass concentrations in terms of MLSS and MLVSS (take MLVSS as being 75% of the MLSS).

Seven cities are being considered as potential locations for the construction of at most four wastewater treatment plants. The table below provides the data for the situation. Missing entries indicate that a pipeline cannot be constructed. Cost of pipeline construction between cities (per 1000 gal/hr capacity) From To 100 200 50 120 150 100 120 120 120 200 100 110 180 200 150 Construction cost (million $) 1.0 1.2 2.0 1.6 1.8 0.9 Population (in thousands) 50 100 45 90 75 60 90 200 70 1.4 30 The capacity of a pipeline (in gallons per hour) is a direct function of the amount of wastewater generated, which is a function of the population. Approximately 500 gallons per 1000 residents are discharged in the sewer system per hour. The maximum plant capacity is 100,000 gal/hour. Furthermore, we impose the requirement that all wastewater produced in any given city is treated in a single wastewater treatment plant. Write a mathematical program to determine the set of treatment plants that minimize the total cost. Solve this problem with Excel.

00:01 So the section time deflection time t will be equals to volume divided by quantity q is equal to 5 ,000 divided by 10 ,000 equals to 0 .33 days.
00:27 Now we know that p out is equal to c in divided.
00:34 Divided by 1 plus k t where k is reaction constant.
00:43 So if we put the value of k equals to 2 and deflection time, t is equal to 0 .33, we get t in is given as thousand...
