Question
100%
A large, aerated lagoon is to be used to treat wastewater from a
small community. The wastewater flow is 0.05 m³/s. The
influent (input) wastewater contaminant concentration is 250
mg/L. The required effluent (output) concentration is 30 mg/L.
It was found that the waste degrades according to first order
kinetics. The degradation coefficient (k) for the reaction is 0.52
d'. You may assume that the lagoon is completely mixed and
that conditions in the system are at steady state. Determine:
a) The required volume of the lagoon
b) The hydraulic detention time of the lagoon
