Assignment 1

The document provides characteristics of a wastewater treatment plant's effluent and the surface stream it disposes into. It asks to determine the dissolved oxygen concentration in the stream after 2 days, the lowest dissolved oxygen concentration from the waste discharge, and the maximum BOD5 that can be discharged to maintain a minimum oxygen level in the stream.

Assignment 1

A wastewater treatment plant disposes of its effluent into a surface stream. Characteristics of the
steam and effluent are shown below:-

Parameter Wastewater stream


Flow (M3/s) 0.2 5
Dissolved oxygen ,mg/l 1 8
Temperature, OC 15 20.2
BOD5 at 20 oC ,mg/l 100 2
Oxygen Consumption rate (K’ at 20 oC) per day 0.23
Oxygen rearration rate (R’ at 20oC) per day 0.3

Determine
1) The Dissolved oxygen Conc. In the stream after 2 days.
2) The lowest dissolved oxygen concentration as a result of the waste discharge.
3) The maximum BOD5 (20 oC) that can be discharged if a minimum of 4.0 mg/l of oxygen
must be maintained in the stream
