5) The town of Camp Verde has been directed to upgrade its primary Wastewater 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 of the aeration tank. 1. BOD; of the effluent suspended solids is 70% of the allowable suspended solids concentration. 2. Growth constants values are estimated to be: K=100 mg/L BOD5; ka = 0.025 d-1; μm = 10 d-1; Y=0.8 mg VSS/mg BOD5 removed. 3. The design MLVSS is 3000 mg/L
A wastewater flow of 10,000 m³/d containing 400 mg/L BOD5 is to be treated in a rotating biological contactor (RBC) system. To attain an effluent BOD5 of 20 mg/L (50% soluble), the overall surface loading will be 7.5 kg BOD5/1000 m²-d and the first-stage surface loading will be 45 kg BOD5/1000 m²-d. Determine the minimum total number of standard shafts (9300 m² surface area per shaft) needed for the RBC system.
As an operator of a wastewater treatment facility, you have learned that your plant runs well at an SRT (based on MLVSS (X) in the aeration basin) of 12 days. If today’s MLVSS (X) concentration is 2,700 mg/L and the RAS (Xr) concentration is 5,500 mg/L, how many L of sludge should you waste from the secondary clarifier today? Other design conditions: Average influent flow = 12,000 m3/d Influent soluble BOD = 150 mg/L Required effluent TSS = 30 mg/L Aeration tank Volume = 1,000 m3
An industrial process produces a by-product compound ‘X’ which exceeds the sewer use limit. Therefore, before the wastewater can be discharged to the sewer, the concentration of ‘X’ must be reduced to below 30 mg C/L. The industrial wastewater, with a concentration of 1780 mg C/L, flows through a long series of channels before reaching the treatment reactor. The long series of channels can be modelled as a PFR with a volume of 23 m3 and the treatment reactor can be modelled as a CSTR with a volume of 15 m3. The compound ‘X’ naturally degrades in the series of channels before the treatment reactor with a reaction rate constant of 0.75 mg/(L·min). In the treatment reactor the addition of chemicals and catalysts cause compound ‘X’ to degrade according to second order kinetics described with a reaction rate constant of 0.015 L/(mg·min). a) Derive the appropriate HRT equations for the PFR channels and the CSTR treatment reactor (state all assumptions and show all work). b) Does the final…
A conventional aeration tank is to treat a flow of 0.8 mgpd of primary effluent with a BOD of 125 ppm. The MLSS concentration is to be maintained at 1800 ppm, and a food -to-microorganism (F/M) ration of 0.4 is specified. Compute the required volume of the aeration tank. If the SWD is to be 15 ft and the tank length to be three times its width, how long should the tank be.
A system is designed to treat contaminant X with two PFRs in series. The concentration of contaminant X entering the first PFR is 120 mg/L and the inflow is 420 L/s. The first PFR is 5000 m³ in size, and the contaminant reacts via first order kinetics with a k value of 0.50 (1/hr). The second tank is being built so that the treatment facility can meet the permit level for contaminant X of 9.4 mg/L. What size do they need to make the second tank in m³?

The contaminant infiltrated a pipe 1,500 ft from the storage tank, and the concentration at the infiltration point is 5 mg/L. The storage tank has a volume of 125,000 gallons and the first user is 500 ft from the storage tank. Assume velocity of 2.5 ft/s in pipes, and a rate constant of 3/day.

The town of Gatesville has been directed to upgrade its primary WWTP to a secondary plant that can meet an effluent standard of 30.0 mg/L BOD5 and 30.0 mg/L suspended solids (SS).

The following data are available from the existing primary plant.

Assume the concentration of MLVSS is 2000 mg/L.
