Problem:
if effluent waste water with DO of 3.0 mg/L and BOD of 20 mg/L is discharged at a rate of 0.44 𝑚3 ⁄𝑠
into a stream saturated with oxygen and of egligible BOD whose flow rate is 4.0𝑚3 ⁄𝑠 draw the DO sag
curve for the stream. Assume that the wastewater and stream water temperature are both 15 ℃ and that K1
= 0.1 day-1 and K2 = 0.1 day-1. What is the critical time and critical DO deficit?

Given:

Effluent
DO= 3.0 mg/L
BOD = 20 mg/L
Qw = 0.44 𝑚3 ⁄𝑠

River
DO = 9.2 mg/L
BOD = 0
Qr = 4 𝑚3 ⁄𝑠

K1 = 0.1 day-1
K2 = 0.2 day-1
T = 15℃

Solution:

𝐶𝑤𝑄𝑤 + 𝐶𝑟𝑄𝑟
𝐶=
𝑄𝑤 + 𝑄𝑟

Initial Do deficit

DO = 8.585585586 mg/L (After dilution)

Do = 0.614414414 mg/L (initial Do deficit after dilution)

Ultimate BOD after Dilution (L)

L= 1.981981982 mg/L (BOD after dilution)

Calculate the DO sag
