Determination of B.O.D of Wastewater

Problem 1: A municipal waste water treatment plant discharges 1.2 m3/s of effluent having BOD of 60 mg/l that has a flow of 9.3 m3/s and BOD 6 mg/l. Estimate the mixing BOD of the river,
just downstream of the flow.


Solution: 
We know that,
Xm=  ( X1Q1 X2Q2)/ (Q1 Q2)
Here, Q1 = Sewage discharge
               =1.2 m3/s
           X1= Sewage effluent BOD
               = 60 mg/l
         Q2 = Flow of effluent
               =9.3 m3/s
           X2= Effluent BOD
               = 6 mg/l
Xm= {(1.2*60)+(6*9.3)}/(1.2+9.3)
     = 12.17 mg/l
Answer: 12.17 mg/l


Problem 2: The dilution factor =0.5, value of DO initial 7.4, after 5 days  4.4 and BOD reaction rate 0.2 per per day. Find out (1). BOD(2.) Ultimate BOD,  (3). BOD remaining after 5 days.

Solution: 
1.  BOD5 =  (Initial DO  - Final DO) / Dilution Factor
                = (7.4 - 4.4 ) * 0.5
                = 6

2. We know,
      BOD5 = L (1 - 10-5R)
   ∴         6 = L   (1 - 10-5*.2)   
   So,       L= 6.67
3. BOD remaining after 5 Days
    = 6.67-6
    = 0.67

 Answer: 0.67 



Problem 3: A Canal exerts waste water in a river at 55000 m3/day. BOD of waste water is given in 110 mg/l. What is the total amount of BOD exerted in the river?
If a treatment plant is treating the waste water to remove 70% BOD, what is the BOD exerted now?

Solution: 
Total amount of BOD exerted in the river,
               = (55000 * 103 * 110* 10-6) Kg
               =  6050 Kg

Amount of BOD exerted now
              = {6050 * (100 - 70)}*100
              = 1815 Kg


 Answer: 1815 Kg



Problem 4:  If BOD5 at 200C of a sewage sample is 320 mg/l. Calculate it's 10 days BOD at 300C.

Solution: 
We know that, 
       X5  = L (1 - 10-5R)
Here,
      X5  = 320
      Let, R= 0.18
     ∴320=  L (1 - 10-5R)
       320=  L (1 - 10-5*18)
       L= 366.09

Again,
     R30=R20 (1.047)30-20
           = 0.18 * 1.04710
           =  0.285

∴   10 days BOD = L (1 - 10-10R)
                            = 366.09 (1 - 10-10*0.285)
                            = 365.58 mg/l

Answer:  365.58 mg/l


Problem 5:  If the  BOD5 is 156 mg/l and K= 0.22 at 200C temperature. determine the ultimate BOD?


Solution:  
We know that,  
       X5   = L (1 - 10-5R)
    ∴ 165 = L (1 - 10-5*0.22)
        L= 179.24 mg/l

Ultimate BOD = 179.24 mg/l
Answer:  Ultimate BOD 179.24 mg/l
