Course contents
The course subject will introduce the
students into the various technologies
and methods for water, air and noise
pollution analysis. It will enable the
students to learn to collect and analyze
environmental pollution data using
analytical equipment and following
environmental standards of government.
BOD
• Biochemical oxygen demand or BOD is a chemical
procedure for determining the amount of dissolved
oxygen needed by aerobic biological organisms in a
body of water to break down organic material present in
a given water sample at certain temperature over a
specific time period. It is not a precise quantitative test,
although it is widely used as an indication of the organic
quality of water.
BOD can be calculated by:
Undiluted: Initial DO - Final DO = BOD
• BOD = IDO - FDO
VS / VB
• where:
• IDO = initial D.O. of diluted sample, mg/L
• FDO = final D.O. of diluted sample, mg/L
• VS = volume of sample, ml
• VB = volume of bottle, ml
Sample Problem:
1. BOD
Given: Di= 8.6 mg/L
Df (5days) = 5.2 mg/L
Vol waste water sample Vs= 6 ml
Vol bottle Vb= 300 ml
BOD = (8.6 -5.2 ) mg/L / (6ml/300ml)
BOD = 170 mg/L
SAMPLE BOD PROBLEMS:
1. A standard 5 day BOD test run using mix of 4 parts of distilled water &
1 part of waste water (no seed) in a company discharging at Pasig
River. The Initial DO mix is 9 mg/L & DO after 5 days is determined to
be 1 mg/L. Compute for BOD5 ? Does it comply with effluent
standards?
Soln: Given : Do i = 9 mg/L, DOf = 1 mg/L,
Vs=1part, Vb = 4 parts therfore Vs/Vb = 1/5
BOD5 = Doi-Dof / Vs/Vb
= 9- 1 / 1/5
= 8 (5) 40 mg/L
2. Volatile Solids
b. Qf (m3/day) = 16 , Nf = 150
days/year
Ln (kg/year) = (128 -50) x (16 X
150) x 0.001
a.Does Company-A comply with the TSS & TDS Effluent stds. under DAO-35?
b. Compute for TSS- Waste Discharge Fee(WDF) , assuming it operates at Qf
(m3/day) = 15 , Nf = 85 days/year at flate rate of P5/kg.
c. Compute for the permit fee per day and L?
Problem No. 6
1. The Total suspended solids for waste water at Pampanga
River sample was found to be 175mg/L. If the test results
were obtained, what size sample was used in the
analysis?
Mass of filter = 1.5413 g
Residue on Filter after drying 1050C = 1.5538 g
A. INPUTS RATE:
Cs = Conc of Stream, Qs= Flowrate of Stream
Cw = Conc of Waste Stream, Qw= Flowrate of Waste Stream
B. OUTPUTS RATE :
Cm = Conc of mixture, Qw= Flowrate of mixture
Sample Problem No. 7 (Toxic Effluent @ Steady
State)
1. A stream flowing at 10m3/s has a tributary from a
Notorious Company A feeding into it with a flow of 5 m3/s.
The stream’s is contaminated upstream of the junction
with mercury (Hg) concentration of 20mg/L and the
tributary mercury (Hg) concentration from said Company
A is 40 mg/L/. Treating mercury as a conservative
substance, and assuming complete mixing of the two
streams, find the downstream Total Mercury concentration
directly discharge at Pasig River.
a. Will Pasig River comply under DAO 34.
b. Will Company A discharge comply under DAO 35?
Assuming it was operating 24 hrs/day for 100 days,
Compute for Waste Discharge Fee, Compute also for
Annual Permit Fee.
Problem No. 7 (Toxic Effluent @ Steady State w/ conventional pollutant)
1. Given :
Solution:
Decay Rate = K C V
= 0.2 d/d x C mg/L x (10 x106m3) x 103 L/m3
24 hr/d x 3,600 sec/hr
Decay Rate = 23.1 x 103 C mg/sec
