1) Dry weather flow is calculated as follows:

Domestic flow = 46,000 x 0.18 m

3
/d = 8,280 m
3
/d

Commercial flow = 90 m
3
/d

Trade flow = 3,400 m
3
/d

Infiltration = 0.05 DWF


So DWF = (8,280 + 90 + 3,400) m
3
/d + 0.05 DWF

DWF = 12,389 m
3
/d

Average flow = 1.3 DWF = 16,106 m
3
/d


BOD load comprises the trade flow (200 kg/d) and the domestic
contribution (46,000 x 0.06 kg BOD/d) = 2,760 kg/d, a total of 2,960
kg/d.

Thus the BOD concentration is at DWF is 2960 /12,389 = 0.239 kg/m
3
or
239 mg/l.

The population equivalent of the plant is (2960 kg BOD/d)/0.06 kg BOD
per capita = 49,300.
