12 1. It is estimated that the BOD of raw sewage received at a treatment plant serving a population of 20,000 will be 300 mg/L. It is es1mated that the per capita BOD loading is 0.17 lbm/day. 30% of influent BOD is removed by settling. One single-stage high-rate trickling filter is to be used to reduce the plant effluent to 50 mg/L. Recirculation is from the filter effluent to the primary settling influent.
