BOD and COD are wastewater quality parameters listed in the regulation for sewage discharge standard under the Environmental Quality Act 1974. The regulation stated that the permissible COD is 120 mg/L for Standard A and 200 mg/L for Standard B. Explain the meaning of this statement.
15 mL of raw wastewater wasadded into a 300-mL BOD bottle, which was then filled up with 285 mL pure water. The DO concentration in the mixed sample before incubation is 7.8 mg/L. The sample wasincubated for 5 days and the final DO wasfound to be 2.4 mg/L. What is theBOD5of the raw wastewater?

3 The high-purity-oxygen process illustrated in Figure 12.39 is being considered for treat- ment of an unsettled domestic wastewater flow of 1.40 mgd with an average BOD of 200 mg/l. Compute the aeration volume required based on a maximum allowable BOD load- ing of 130 lb/1000 ft³/day and minimum aeration period of 1.8 hr. For this system, what is the F/M ratio in terms of lb of BOD/day/lb of MLVSS, assuming an MLSS of 5500 mg/l, lotila?

A 25 ml of sewage water sample was refluxed with 10 ml 0f 0.25 N K2Cr2O7 solution. The untreated dichromate requires 6.5 ml of 0.1 N FAS.10 ml of dichromate solution and 25 ml distilled water , under the same condition as sample required 27 ml of 0.1N FAS. Calculate the COD of sewage.
A wastewater flow of 10,000 m³/d containing 400 mg/L BOD5 is to be treated in a rotating biological contactor (RBC) system. To attain an effluent BOD5 of 20 mg/L (50% soluble), the overall surface loading will be 7.5 kg BOD5/1000 m²-d and the first-stage surface loading will be 45 kg BOD5/1000 m²-d. Determine the minimum total number of standard shafts (9300 m² surface area per shaft) needed for the RBC system.
The City of Marietta has been directed by the City Board to upgrade its primary Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) to include a secondary treatment process that can meet an effluent standard of 20 mg/L of BODs and 20 mg/L of suspended solids (SS). They want to select completely mixed activated sludge system. The BOD5 of the SS is estimated to be 50% of the SS concentration. Assume L:W within 4:1 and maximum depth of 4.5 m and maximum length of 50 m for the tank. Assume the reasonable values of missing parameters from FE Exam Handbook. The effluent characteristics from the primary treatment process are: Flow = 0.150 m's, BOD5 =75 mg/L. Assume the values for the growth constants as K, = 100 mg/L BOD5, Mm = 2.5 d-1, kg = 0.05 d'1. Y = 0.50 mg VSS/mg BODs removed, MLVSS = 2,800 mg/L, MISS - 1.20 (MLVSS), wastewater temperature = 25.0°C. Assume 8% 02 transfer rate and BOD5 to BODu ratio as f = 68%. If SRT (qc) = 14.5 days, the volume of the aeration tank is nearly?
