Tutorial 2 Questions

The document presents various calculations related to biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) in wastewater treatment. It includes scenarios for determining oxygen consumption over time, calculating BOD from dissolved oxygen measurements, and estimating dilution requirements for BOD determination. Key parameters such as temperature, reaction rate constants, and initial dissolved oxygen levels are provided for accurate assessments.

1. The treated wastewater is being discharged into a river that has a temperature of 15 °C.

The

BOD rate constant determined in the laboratory for this mixed water is 0.12 per day. What

fraction of maximum oxygen consumption will occur in first four days?

2. The dissolved oxygen in an unseeded sample of diluted wastewater having an initial DO of

9.0 mg/L is measured to be 3.0 mg/L after 5 days. The dilution fraction is 0.03 and reaction

rate constant k = 0.22 day-1. Calculate a) 5 day BOD of the waste, b) ultimate carbonaceous

BOD, and c) What would be remaining oxygen demand after 5 days?

3. The BOD of a sewage incubated for one day at 30 °C has been found to be 100 mg/L. What

will be the five day 20oC BOD? Assume K = 0.12 (base 10) at 20oC, and θ = 1.056

4. A wastewater is expected to have BOD5 of about 200 mg/L. The initial DO of dilution

water is 8.0 mg/L. Calculate the dilution requirement for BOD determination.
