The tank holds 5000 gal, and it has a gas transfer coefficient (Ka) o! 0.12 min*1. If the raw groundwater has a DO of 1.5 mg/L and the treated water must have a DO of 7.5 mg/L how may gallons per day can be treated by this system? Assume that the saturation value (Cg) is 10.2 mg/L. Ignore the time required to fill and drain the tank. Solution to #2 First calculate the time required to process one batch of 5000 gal. Now calculate the number of batches per day and the total volume treated: # batches = 24hrs(60min)/9.75min = 147.7 Volume treated = 147.7 batches/day * 5000 gal/batch = 738,000 gal/day = 0.74 MGDDesign of Primary Sedimentation basin ‘The average flow rate at a small sewage treatment plant is 20000 m'/d. The observed peak flow rate is $0000 m'/d. Design rectangular primary clarifier with a channel width of 6 m. Use minimum two clarifiers.

Intercontinental Paper and the Mill River (25 points) The Intercontinental Paper Co. is discharging its wastewater directly into the Mill River. The discharge flow is 3.8 3/5 (cfs) the discharge D.O. is 8.5 mg/L and the discharge ultimate BOD (BOD,) is 35 mg/L. They obtain half of this water from an intake 0.5 miles upstream of the wastewater outfall, and half from groundwater via a nearby well field. On average, the Mill River water upstream of the IPC outfall has an ultimate BOL (BODy) of 2.5 mg/L and a D.O. of 8.5 mg/L. If the Mill River has a flow of 12 cfs upstream of the IPC intake, and if the state permits a minimum DO of 7.5 mg/L in the Mill River, will the state have to further restrict the BOD in IPC's wastewater (i.e., is the stream out of compliance)? Calculate the minimum stream D.O. expected as a result o the IPC discharge.
