A city discharges 10 m³/d of sewage with an ultimate BOD and DO of 35 mg/L and 1.0 mg/L, respectively, into a stream that has a flow rate of 8.0 m³/s. Immediately upstream of the point of confluence the DO and ultimate BOD in the stream were 9.20 and 5.0 mg/L, respectively. The saturation concentration of DO in the stream is 9.70 mg/L. The decay and reaeration rate constants are 0.30 d¹ and 0.15 d¹, respectively. What is the critical DO deficit? If the average velocity of the stream is 20 km/d, at what distance downstream of the wastewater discharge will the maximum deficit occur? Assume that the wastewater and stream are well mixed at the discharge point.

A municipal wastewater treatment plant is installing completely mixed activated sludge to meet their NPDES permit of 15 mg/L BOD5. The mixed liquor concentration is 1,000 mg/L MLVSS. The wastewater flowrate going to secondary treatment is 0.170 m3/s and the BOD5 in that stream is 110 mg/L. Laboratory measurements of the growth constants show: Ks = 60 mg/L BOD5, um = 2.8 d-1, kd = 0.05 d-1, Y = 0.73 mg MLVSS/mg BOD5. Determine the required volume of the aeration tank.
A city discharges 1500 litres per second of sewage into a stream whose minimum rate of flow is 6000 litres per second. The temperature of sewage as well as water is 20°C.
