Question: The liquid effluent from an industry contains glutamic acid, C 5 H 9 O 4 N . The concentration is 1 , 5 K g

The liquid effluent from an industry contains glutamic acid, C5H9O4N. The concentration
is 1,5Kgm3 and the effluent flow rate is 300m3d.
a) What is the total oxygen demand of the effluent? (Response in grams of O2? liter)
b) How much oxygen should be added per day to the biological treatment plant assuming that
70% of the organic matter in the effluent is oxidized and that the plant does not nitrify?
(Response in grams of O2/Day)
c) How much oxygen should be added per day to the biological treatment plant assuming that
90% of the organic matter in the effluent is oxidized and that the plant nitrifies? (Response in
grams of O2/Day)
Use on oxygen demand:
Total demand = Organic carbonaceous demand + Nitrogen demand
 The liquid effluent from an industry contains glutamic acid, C5H9O4N. The
