Describe how they are determined. (5 marks)
d) Compute the DWF and the average BOD concentration given the following design data
No. of residential units 7550
Water Consumption 350l/ca.day
Industrial effluent 3000m³/day
BOD load 60g/ca.day
BOD for industrial effluent 2500mg/l (10 marks)

QUESTION 2
a) Explain the common procedure used for the determination of the BOD for a given
wastewater sample, and list the BOD test limitations. (10 marks)
b) Differentiate between biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen
Demand (COD). (5 marks)
c) A BOD test is run using 100ml of treated wastewater mixed with 200ml of pure water.
The initial DO of the mix is 9.0mg/l. After a long period of time, the DO is 2.0mg/l and
it no longer seems to be dropping.
i. What is the 5-day BOD of the wastewater? (3 marks)
ii. Estimate the ultimate BOD, neglecting the effects of nitrification. (2 marks)
iii. What would be the remaining BOD after 5 days? (5 marks)
