B.TECH ASSIGNMENT

Q1. Population of town = 30000

Domestic sewage produced = 120 lpcd having BOD = 200 mg/l

Industrial sewage produced = 3 × 105 lpd having BOD = 800 mg/l

Design a high rate single stage Trickling filter with the following data.

PST removes 35% BOD

Organic loading = 10,000 kg/ha-m/day (excluding recirculation)

Hydraulic loading = 170 ML/ha/day (including recirculation)

Recirculation Ratio = 1.0

Find the efficiency of the trickling filter and BOD of the effluent.

Q2. Calculate the diameter required for a single stage trickling filter which is to yield an effluent
BOD5 of 20 mg/L when treating settled domestic sewage with a BOD5 of 120 mg/L. The waste
water flow is 2200 m3/day and the recirculation is constant at 4000 m3/day. The filter depth is 1.5
m.

Q3. Determine the dimension of a high rate trickling filter for the following data:

(i) Sewage flow =3.0 MLD

(ii) Recirculation ratio = 1.5

(iii) BOD of raw sewage = 250 mg/L

(iv) BOD removed in primary tank = 25%

(v) Final effluent BOD desired = 30 mg/L

By what % the diameter of the filter will have to be modified if it is to be designed as a standard
rate trickling filter for the above requirement?

Q4. A trickling filter plant treats 1500 m3/day of sewage with a BOD5 of 220 mg/L and a SS of
250 mg/L. Estimate the total solid production assuming that primary clarification removes 30%
of BOD and 60% of influent solids. Take the solid production in the trickling filter at 0.5 kg per
kg of the applied BOD.

Q5. Design a high rate two stage tricking filter plant using NRC equation to treat settled
domestic sewage with a BOD5 of 200 mg/L for an average flow of 50 MLD. Assume a peak
factor of 2.25. The desired BOD5 of effluents is 10 mg/L. Adopt recirculation ratio of 1st and
2nd stage filter as 2 & 1 respectively. Assume BOD loading 0.8 kg/m3/day.

Q6. Design a two stage trickling filter with each stage having equal efficiency and depth of 1.5
m to treat a domestic waste water flow of 10 MLD having influent BOD5 equal to 250 mg/L. The
desired effluent BOD5 is 25 mg/L or less. Adopt recirculation ratio R1 = R2 = 2 and f = 0.9.
