Question: 1 . How much ( in kg / day ) can a wastewater treatment plant of 5 0 0 0 m 3 / day discharge

1. How much (in kg/day) can a wastewater treatment plant of 5000 m3/day discharge to a river with a drought flow of 137.7 m3/min if the BOD5 in the river after initial dilution must not exceed 1 mg/L? What degree of treatment (% satisfied) does this represent, assuming the plant receives an influent wastewater of 250 mg/L BOD2.2. For the Problem 1 above, the dissolved oxygen concentration (DO) and temperature (T) of the treated wastewater and the river are listed below:Treated wastewater: DOw =2 mg/L; T =20 CRiver upstream: DOr =9 mg/L; T =15 CDetermine the DOm, Tm, and initial oxygen deficit (Do) after the complete mixing of the treated wastewater and the river. It is assumed that air pressure is 1 atm and it contains 20% oxygen and the saturated dissolved oxygen concentration (DOs) equals 9.75 mg/L.
