Determine the concentration of effluent BODs from the two-stage trickling filter described below. The wastewater temperature is 17C. Assume the NRC equations apply. Q = 0.05 m/s Influent BOD5 = 260 mg/L Filter diameter = 24 m (both filters) Filter depth = 1.83 m (both filters) Recirculation rate for each filter = 0.055 m/d Plot two graphs of the final effluent BODs concentration from the two-stage filter described in Problem 1 (same C, and filter sizes) as a function of the influent flow rate, Q, and the recirculation rate, R, assuming the NRC equations apply. In the first graph, plot the final effluent BOD, concentration (as a fraction of the influent concentration, C/Co) as a function of influent flow rate over a range of flow from 0.02 m/s Q 0.10 m/s while keeping the recirculation rate constant at R = QR/Q = 1. The second plot should show the final effluent BOD, concentration from the two-stage filter (as a fraction of the influent concentration, C/C.) over a range of recirculation rates of 1 R 10 for a constant flow rate of Q = 0.05 m/s. Assume the water temperature is 20C for the estimations.
