A Pump & Treat water treatment system at a contaminated site is designed to treat 5 m3/d of ground water in a reactor designed as a well mixed system. The effluent must meet quality standards of 25 mg/L of Iron. The treatment reactor’s 20 m3 volume is believed to be insufficient to achieve the standard. The ground water has an iron concentration of 100 mg/L and the treatment reactor has a kinetic constant of 0.5 d-1. – Confirm that the treatment system will NOT meet the effluent quality standards. – If not modify the design by adding a PFR system (using same treatment process and kinetics), what volume should the PFR addition be?

A wastewater treatment plant discharges 0.1 m3/s of treated wastewater to a river having a mean flow rate of 25 m3/s. The biological components of the wastewater have a concentration of 15 mg/l in the waste stream and are consumed by bacteria in the river with a rate constant of k = −0.3 d-1. 1.

A small lake with volume 10,000 m3 has a stream flowing into it with flow rate 100 m3/day and a Toluene concentration of 1.0 mg/m3. A factory discharges 5 m3/day into the lake with Toluene concentration of 10 mg/m3 – they want to increase effluent to 50 mg/m3. Toluene decays at a rate of 0.01/day. Assume steady-state and completely mixed (CSTR). a) How would this increase in discharge concentration change the lake concentration? b) Field studies show that the same lake would be better represented by dividing the lake into two cells. The first cell having a volume of 2,500 m3 and the second with 7,500 m3. How does this affect the estimate of concentration leaving the lake? Compare with one-cell model.Assume the factory continues to discharge at 10 mg/m3 into the first cell.c) Why does modeling the lake as multiple cells impact the final concentration leaving the lake? What do you expect might happen to the final concentration leaving the lake if we modeled it as more cells? How would…
A waste stabilization pond is used to treat a dilute municipal wastewater before the liquid is discharged into a river. The inflow to the pond has a flow rate of Q 4,000 m³/day and a BOD¹ concentration of Cin 25 mg/L. The volume of the pond is 20,000 m³.
