    This document discusses various measures of water quality including dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, solids, nitrogen, and bacteriological indicators. It defines terms like dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, theoretical oxygen demand, 5-day BOD, ultimate BOD, and chemical oxygen demand. The document provides equations to calculate BOD based on initial and final dissolved oxygen readings along with dilution factors and reaction rate constants. Sample problems are included to demonstrate how to use the equations to determine BOD5, ultimate BOD, and identify sources of wastewater based on measured parameters.

    WATER QUALITY

    MEASURE OF WATER QUALITY

    Dissolved Oxygen
    Biochemical Oxygen Demand
    Solids
    Nitrogen
    Bacteriological

    OXYGEN DEMAND DEFINITION


    Dissolved Oxygen (DO) the amount of oxygen
    that is present in the water in mg/L
    Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)
    the amount of oxygen utilized by microorganisms in
    oxidizing carbonaceous and nitrogenous organic
    matter
    Carbonaceous Biochemical Oxygen Demand
    (CBOD) BOD where the electron donor is
    carbonaceous organic matter
    Nitrogenous Biochemical Oxygen Demand (NBOD)
    BOD where the electron donor is nitrogenous
    organic matter

    OXYGEN DEMAND DEFINITION


    Theoretical Oxygen Demand (ThOD)
    the amount of oxygen utilized by microorganisms in oxidizing
    carbonaceous and nitrogenous organic matter, assuming
    that all of the organic matter is subject to microbial
    breakdown
    BOD5 5-day BOD the amount of oxygen consumed over
    an incubation period of 5 days
    BODU Ultimate BOD the amount of oxygen consumed
    when all of the biodegradable organic matter has been
    oxidized.
    Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) the amount of chemical
    oxidant required to completely oxidized a source of organic
    matter

    DISSOLVED OXYGEN

    BIOCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND


    BOD = I F
    where I = initial DO, mg/L
    F= final DO, mg/L

    BIOCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND

    BOD = (I F)D
    where D = dilution represented as fraction
    and defined as
    D = Total Volume of bottle
    Volume of Sample

    BIOCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND

    y = L(1 e-kt)
    where y = BOD at any time t in days, mg/L
    L = ultimate BOD, mg/L
    k = deoxygenation constant

    BIOCHEMICAL OXYGEN DEMAND

    kT

    k 20

    ( T 20 )

    = 1.047
    T = temperature (oC)
    k20 = reaction rate constant at the standard lab T
    kT = reaction rate at a different T

    1. Given the following BOD5 test results:


    Initial DO
    8 mg/L
    Final DO
    0 mg/L
    Dilution
    1 : 10
    a. What can you say about BOD5?
    b. BOD ultimate?

    2. A wastewater sample has a k1 = 0.2day-1 and an


    ultimate BOD = 200 mg/L. What is the final dissolved
    oxygen in a BOD bottle in which the sample is
    diluted 1:20 and wherein the initial dissolved oxygen
    is 10.2 mg/L?

    3. Calculate the ultimate BOD of a waste that has a


    measured 5-day BOD of 20 mg/L, assuming a rate
    constant of 0.15/day.

    4. A 15 ml wastewater sample is placed in a


    standard 300 ml bottle, and the bottle is filled with
    dilution water. The bottle had an initial DO
    concentration of 8 mg/L and a final DO concentration
    of 2 mg/L. A blank run in parallel showed no change
    in DO over the 5-day incubation period. The BOD
    reaction rate coefficient for the waste is 0.4/day.
    Calculate the 5-day BOD and the ultimate BOD of
    the wastewater.

    5. A midnight dumper discharge a tank truck full of


    industrial waste in a gravel pit. The truck was spotted
    there 3 days ago, and a pool of pure waste remains.
    A laboratory technician determined that the waste
    has a 5-day BOD 80 mg/L with a rate constant of
    0.1/day. Three factories in the vicinity generate
    organic wastes: a winery (ultimate BOD = 275 mg/L),
    a vinegar manufacturer (ultimate BOD = 80 mg/L),
    and a pharmaceutical company (ultimate BOD = 200
    mg/L). Determine the source of the waste.
