Poorly treated municipal wastewater is discharged to a stream. The river flow rate upstream of the discharge point is Qus = 8.7 cubic meters per second. The discharge occurs at a flow of Qd = 0.9 cubic meters per second and has a BOD concentration of 50 mg/L. Assuming that the upstream BOD concentration is negligible.

The shrimp processing plant generates 0.012 m3/s of wastewater each day. The wastewater is treated in an activated sludge plant. The average BOD5 of the raw wastewater before primary settling is 1400 mg/L. The aeration tank has effective liquid dimensions of 8.0 m wide by 8.0 m long by 5.0 m deep.

A wastewater treatment plant treats a wastewater at a flowrate of 10 million liters per day. The wastewater has zero dissolved oxygen when it leaves the plant. The NPDES requirements include a minimum dissolved oxygen concentration of 2 mg/L in the discharge to protect the river. As an engineer, you must design a reaeration system to provide a minimum dissolved oxygen concentration of 3 mg/L (using a 1.5 safety factor). Use the reaeration data for the reactor with the largest volume to design a system. Assume each reactor that you used in lab represents the capacity of one aerator. How many aerators will be required to reaerate the water?
