A river has a flow of 3.0 cubic feet per second and a BOD of 10 mg/L. 1.0 million gallons per day of wastewater needs to be disposed of in the river. The wastewater has a BOD concentration of 200 mg/L. To what concentration must the wastewater be treated if the BOD in the river downstream of the mixing zone in the river cannot exceed 20 mg/L?

A river is flowing at a flow rate of 12 cubic meters per second with a background BOD of 2 milligrams per liter of Dissolved Oxygen. A large waste spill with a five day BOD of 230 mg/L is discharged into the river at a flow rate of 2 cubic meters per second. Assuming instantaneous mixing immediately at the point of discharge, find the ultimate BOD of the river water after mixing with the waste.

Determine the minimum dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration in a river downstream from a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) discharging at a flow rate of 5.00 million gallons per day (MGD). The WWTP achieves secondary treatment standards (BOD5 = 30 mg/L). The wastewater temperature is 25.0 °C and contains 4.0 mg/L of DO. The characteristics of the river upstream from the point of discharge are Q=20.0 cubic feet per second (cfs), T = 20.0°C, BODu = 3.0 mg/L. and DO = 7.0...

A city discharges 16,000 m3/d of treated wastewater into a nearby river. The treated wastewater has a BOD5 of 12 mg/L and k of 0.12 d-1 at 20oC. The river has a flow rate of 0.43 m3/s and an ultimate BOD of 5.0 mg/L. The DO of the river is 6.5 mg/L and the DO of the wastewater is 0 mg/L. Compute the DO and initial ultimate BOD after mixing.

A factory is discharging wastewater containing 200 mg/L BOD into a river. The river has a discharge of 10 m3/s and the wastewater discharge is 2 m3/s. If the upstream of this river has a BOD of 10 mg/L. Please compute BOD after wastewater is completely mixed with river (any BOD degradation is not considered)

NT4-1. 3 pts. A beef stick manufacturing plant proposed to discharge saline (salty) wastewater to a river. Upon reviewing the proposal, the governing regulatory agency set a 200 mg/L salt maximum level in the river downstream of the discharge point. In response the manufacturing plant proposed adding desalination equipment between the manufacturing plant and the river to remove enough salt from the wastewater to meet the regulatory requirement, 15% of the wastewater flow becomes brine (concentrated salt), a byproduct from...

7. You work for the Ministry of Environment to evaluate the maximum ultimate BOD concentration in the effluent of a new wastewater treatment plant such that the oxygen deficit never exceeds 1.5 mg/L in the receiving river. During dry weather (i.e., lowest river flow), the wastewater will be diluted 10 times in the river water and the river water contains 3.5 mg/L of ultimate BOD. Also during dry weather, you know that the river velocity after the wastewater discharge would...

A wastewater discharge has a flow equal to upstream flow of the river it is being discharged into. The river upstream has a DO of 7 mg/L, and negligible BOD. The wastewater discharge has an ultimate BOD of 50 mg/L, and negligible DO. It is determined that it would cost an equal amount of money to reduce the BOD to 25 mg/L or to increase the DO to 8 mg/L. Which alternative, considering DO sag, would you judge to be...
