Settled sewage is to be treated by a trickling filter. The settled sewage flow and BOD5 are 2000 m3/d and 150 mg/L respectively. The trickling filter effluent of 20 mg/L BOD5 is recycled at a rate of 1000 m3/d to dilute the incoming sewage before it enters the trickling filter. Calculate the filter diameter and depth. Assume the organic loading and hydraulic loading rates are 0.1 kg/m3.d and 0.06 m3/m2.h respectively.
