A municipal wastewater flow of 1,000 m³/d contains 400 mg/L BOD5 and is treated to be in a trickling filter. The filter will use a plastic filter medium with a specific surface area of 200 m³/m² and will operate with a recirculation ratio of 100% and a hydraulic loading of 25 m³/m² -d. Based on a typical volumetric loading of 0.6 kg BOD5/m³-d, what volume (m³) of plastic media would be required?
