Problem: You are designing a 20 mgd wastewater treatment plant. To characterize the plant's influent solids, the lab used 90 ml samples of the ty[ical wastewater and the following equipment: Solids: Lab Equipment Evaporation Dish Gooch crucible 2.0-micron paper filter 2.0-micron Whatman GF/C filter Lab Measurement Dish + Residue after evaporation Weight 54.2830g 54.2170g 1.5240g 1.6948g 54.349g 1. The lab placed a sample in an evaporation dish and evaporated it at 105°C finding that the dish weighted 54.3490 g after the dish cooled. What is the concentration (mg/L) of the Total Solids (TS) in the influent?(Ans: TS = 733.3 mg/L) 2. If you anticipate a Total Suspended Solids mass loading of 48,400 lb/day at this flow rate, what is the concentration of TSS you anticipate in the influent? 3. The lab then filtered a sample through a 2-micron filter and evaporated the filter at 105°C, what was the mass of the residue found on the filter paper after it cooled? (Ans: 0.0261 g)

Question
6. After igniting a sample that was filtered through a 2-micron Whatman GF/C filter
in an oven at 550°C, the cooled Gooch crucible + filter + residue weighed
55.9183 g. What is the mass (grams) of the Total Fixed Suspended Solids (TFSS)
on the filter?
(Ans: 0.0065 g)
7. What is the concentration (mg/L) of the TFSS in the influent?
(Ans: 72.2 mg/l)
8. What is the concentration (mg/L) of the TVSS in the influent?
(Ans: 217.8 mg/L)
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD):
9. If you anticipate a 5-day Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5) mass loading of
54,243 lb/day at this flow rate, what is the concentration of BOD5 you anticipate
in the influent?
(Ans: 325 mg/L)
10. Based on the BOD dilution guide what volume of inoculation should be added to
the BOD bottles? Assume that the lab technician is using 300 ml BOD bottles.
11. What is the concentration of dissolved oxygen in the DO bottle used to quantify
the influent BOD5 after five days if its initial DO was 7.3 mg/l. (Ans: 1.88 mg/L)
12. Calculate the influent ultimate BOD load (Lo) and the BOD curve constant (k) if
laboratory testing yielded the following results:(Ans: L₁ = 377.3 mg/L & k = 0.4120 per day)
