SCENARIO 1 Annual Average versus Critical Conditions Conditions Model inputs for annual average conditions are pre populated on the spreadsheet as AA Under critical conditions the river flow falls to 1 5 m3 s 1 and the temperature rises to 30 C All other model inputs are as for average annual conditions Critical conditions are represented as CC Use Trial as an adjustable working trial Analysis Questions Observe the simulated DO sag curves and data for AA and CC with a treatment efficiency of 80 4 1 Is the dissolved oxygen standard violated for annual average conditions AA with the present level of wastewater treatment No DO 7 3 mg L which is higher than the standard 5 mg L 2 Is the dissolved oxygen standard violated for critical conditions CC with the present level of wastewater treatment Yes DO 0 4 mg L which is lower than the standard 5 mg L 3 RESET Trial to Critical Conditions Adjust the BOD Removal efficiency until the water quality standard for DO is met 5 mg L 1 Record the BOD Removal efficiency If BOD removal efficiency is 98 DO 5 mg L SCENARIO 2 Addition of Post Aeration Conditions Unless special provisions are made the effluent may leave the WWTP with very low oxygen levels e g the 2 mg L 1 of the critical conditions scenario Oxygen can be added to the effluent post aeration to increase DO levels in the mixing basin and reduce adverse effects on the receiving water Analysis Questions RESET Trial to Critical Conditions Apply post aeration treatment WWTP Effluent DO 8 mg L 1 Adjust the BOD Removal efficiency until the water quality standard for DO
