Tutorial 5&6: 1. A trickling filter has a diameter of 20 m and a depth of 2.5 m. It is operated with a direct recirculation ratio of 1.0‚ and the influent sewage flow rate is 3 ML/d. Influent BOD to the primary tank is 200 mg/L‚ and the BOD removal efficiency in that tank is 35 percent. Compute the organic load on the trickling filter. 2. A grit of specific gravity 2.8 flows into a grit chamber‚ 1.5-m wide‚ 10.5-m long and 2.5-m deep. The flow-rate of wastewater into the chamber is 2 m3/s.
