1.85 Water and Wastewater Treatment Engineering Homework 8

This document contains two homework questions about water and wastewater treatment engineering. The first question involves designing a facultative lagoon given parameters like flow rate, BOD5, and degradation rate. The second question involves sizing an aeration tank for a completely mixed activated sludge process and calculating related values like hydraulic residence time, food/microorganism ratio, sludge production rate, sludge recycle ratio, and oxygen requirement.

85 WATER AND WASTEWATER TREATMENT ENGINEERING


HOMEWORK 8

Question 1 (5 points)
Design a facultative lagoon for a temperate climate when the flow rate is 3800 m3/d and the
BOD5 is 200 mg/L. Use these steps:
a. Select a reasonable depth.
b. Calculate the surface area based on the BOD5 areal load.
c. Calculate the volume and hydraulic detention time.
d. Calculate the volumetric loading (kg BOD5/(1000 m3-day)).
e. If degradation in a facultative lagoon can be modeled as a first-order process with a
degradation rate of 0.2 day-1, what will be the effluent concentration from the lagoon?

Question 2 (5 points)
The aeration tank for a completely mixed aeration process is being sized for a design
wastewater flow of 4500 m3/d. The influent COD is 150 mg/L. The design effluent COD is
7 mg/L. Recommended design parameters are a sludge age of 10 days and MLVSS of
1400 mg/L. The expected Sludge Volume Index is 100 ml/g. Selection of these values takes
into account the anticipated variations in wastewater flows and strengths. The kinetic constants
from a bench-scale treatability study are Y = 0.60 mg VSS/mg COD and ke = 0.06 per day.
Calculate:
a. the hydraulic residence time and volume of the aeration tank
b. the food/microorganism ratio
c. the sludge production rate
d. the sludge recycle ratio
e. the oxygen requirement.
