5. How much time it will take for hydraulic detention in a tank size of 2.5mx15mx3m
Hydraulic detention time (HDT) also known as hydraulic retention time (HRT) is a measure of the
average length of time that a compound (in this case wastewater) remains in a treatment tank or unit.
Simply stated if you started to fill a tank with wastewater the detention time is the average amount of a
time that a drop of that water will remain in the treatment tank before the tank fills and that drop of
water flows out of it. This is important because as wastewater passes through a treatment tank it must
stay in the tank for the necessary period of time in order to be adequately treated. For example, in most
aeration treatment systems, 4 to 8 hours of detention time is necessary in order for the microorganisms
in the aeration system to absorb, adsorb and remove the contaminants (bacteria food) in the
wastewater.

6. Aerobic system
Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) represents the amount of oxygen consumed by bacteria and
other microorganisms while they decompose organic matter under aerobic (oxygen is present)
conditions at a specified temperature.
BOD has traditionally been used to measure of the strength of effluent released from
conventional sewage treatment plants to surface waters or streams. This is because sewage
high in BOD can deplete oxygen in receiving waters, causing fish kills and ecosystem changes.
Drinking water has a BOD level of 1 - 2 ppm. When the BOD value of water is in the range 3 - 5
ppm, the water is moderately clean. Polluted water has a BOD value in the range of 6 - 9 ppm. In
polluted water, some organic waste is present.
Aerobic treatment technologies can act as stand-alone systems for treating raw wastewater, or
can be used to polish anaerobically pretreated wastewater to further remove biochemical
oxygen demand (BOD) and total suspended solids (TSS). Aerobic technologies can also be used
specifically as a biological nutrient removal system (BNR) to remove nitrogen and phosphorus.
The organic contaminants these microorganisms decompose are often measured in biological
oxygen demand, or BOD, which refers to the amount of dissolved oxygen needed by aerobic
organisms to break down organic matter into smaller molecules. High levels of BOD indicate an
elevated concentration of biodegradable material present in the wastewater and can be caused
by the introduction of pollutants such as industrial discharges, domestic fecal wastes, or
fertilizer runoff.

Ans. 100% ?
The standard oxidation (or incubation) test period for BOD is 5 days at 20 degrees Celsius (°C)
(BOD5). The BOD5 value has been used and reported for many applications, most commonly to
indicate the effects of sewage and other organic wastes on dissolved oxygen in surface waters
(see TECHNICAL NOTE). The 5-day value, however, represents only a portion of the total
biochemical oxygen demand. Twenty days is considered, by convention, adequate time for a
complete biochemical oxidation of organic matter in a water sample, but a 20-day test often is
impractical when data are needed to address an immediate concern.

49. Eutrophication
Eutrophication is the process in which a water body becomes overly enriched with
nutrients, leading to plentiful growth of simple plant life.
50. Nitrification
Nitrification is a microbial process by which reduced nitrogen compounds
(primarily ammonia) are sequentially oxidized to nitrite and nitrate. Ammonia is
present in drinking water through either naturally-occurring processes or through
ammonia addition during secondary disinfection to form chloramines.
51. Oxygen demand
Oxygen demanding wastes are those substances which oxidize in the receiving
body of water with the consumption of dissolved oxygen.
Biochemical oxygen demand or biological oxygen demand (BOD) is a measure of the
amount of Dissolved Oxygen (DO) required by aerobic microorganisms to
decompose organic matter present in a sample of water at a certain temperature
over a studied period
