Question
The wastewater from a manufacturing treatment plant is discharged to a
municipal 'treatment plant for processing with domestic wastewater. The
characteristics of the wastewater from the manufacturing treatment plant
are 3500 mg/l BOD, 4500 mg/l SS, 70 mg/l nitrogen and 2 mg/l
phosphorous. The characteristics of the domestic wastewater are 350
mg/I BOD, 285 mg/l SS, 50 mg/I N and 11 mg/lP. If the required BOD/N/P
weight ratio is 100/5/1, what is the minimum quantity of domestic
wastewater required per 1000 gallons of manufacturing wastewater to
provide adequate nutrients for biological treatment and the concentration
of SS in the combined wastewater?
