- A contaminant is present in an industrial wastewater at a concentration of 268 mg/L and can be degraded according to a first-order reaction. Previous research has identified that K contaminant is regulated at 2.5 mg/L and must be removed prior to discharge to the sewer. 1. 5.2/hr. The a. Identify the required reaction time (in hours) to degrade the contaminant to the target effluent concentration of 2.5 mg/L in an ideal continuously-stirred tank reactor (CSTR). b. Identify the required reaction time (in hours) to degrade the contaminant to the target effluent concentration of 2.5 mg/L in an ideal plug flow reactor (PFR). If the wastewater flowrate is 7,000 gallons/day (gpd), identify the volume required (in gallons and ft') for ideal CSTR and PFR treatment system to achieve the target effluent concentration of 2.5 mg/L. d. Management would like to use two 500 gallon tanks operated as two-CSTRS in series to treat the wastewater at a flowrate of 7,000 (gpd). Will this be satisfactory for…arrow_forwardA complete mix activated sludge process treats 5 MGD of wastewater containing a total BOD5 concentration of 225 mg/L BOD5 to 20 mg/L BOD5, which is 75% soluble in both the influent and the effluent. The volume of the aeration basin is 111,400 ft3 and the MLSS concentration is 2500 mg/L. Determine the following: a) Detention time in the aeration basin (hr) b) F/M ratio c) Specific substrate utilization rate d) Substrate removal efficiencyarrow_forwardA jar test reveals that the optimum alum coagulant dose is 50 mg/L at a pH of 8.1 and a temperature of 73 F. How many pounds per day of 49% alum are required for the whole plant? Total flow is 36 MGD with four parallel treatment plants, each designed for 12 MGD. Could use some guidance on setting up the equations.arrow_forward
- Only find the BOD of the mixture.arrow_forwardA system is designed to treat contaminant X with two PFRs in series. The concentration of contaminant X entering the first PFR is 120 mg/L and the inflow is 420 L/s. The first PFR is 5000 m³ in size, and the contaminant reacts via first order kinetics with a k value of 0.50 (1/hr). The second tank is being built so that the treatment facility can meet the permit level for contaminant X of 9.4 mg/L. What size do they need to make the second tank in m³?arrow_forward
