    The document describes the design of a standard rate trickling filter wastewater treatment system. It provides definitions of key terms like BOD and outlines design parameters. The problem is to determine the size of a trickling filter system given an inlet population of 200,000 people with an average flow of 200 liters per capita per day and inlet BOD of 300 ppm. The solution shows calculations for flow rate, BOD loads, filter sizing, hydraulic and BOD removal rates, and overall system efficiency. The designed system uses 40 circular filters each with a diameter of 40 meters to treat a total flow of 70,867 cubic meters per day with over 90% removal of BOD.

    Solution
    Area & Diameter
    𝑛 = 𝐴𝑡 /𝐴1
    𝑛 = 49,607.159 /1256.637 = 39.47
    Take 40 filters
