Stone media TF design • Example 1 • Calculate the BOD loading, hydraulic loading, BOD removal efficiency, and effluent BOD concentration of a single-stage trickling filter based on the following data: • Design assumptions: • Influent flow =1530 m3/d • Recirculation ratio = 0.5 • Primary effluent BOD = 130 mg/L • Diameter of filter = 18 m • Depth of media = 2.1 m • Water temperature =18oC
Stone media TF design Solution) (1) BOD loading rate (kg/m3/d) • BOD load = BOD Conc. x Influent flow = 130 mg/L x 1530 m3/d =198.9 kg/d • Volume of filter = surface area of filter x depth = π(18 m x 18m)/4 X 2.1 m = 533 m3 • BOD loading rate = BOD load / volume of filter =0.37 kg/m3/d
Stone media TF design Solution) (2) Hydraulic loading rate (m3/m2/d) • Total flow to the media = influent + recirculation flow = 1530 m3/d + (1530 m3/d x 0.5) • Surface area of filter = π(18 m x 18m)/4 = 254 m3 • Hydraulic loading rate = Total flow to the media / area of filter = 9.04 m3/m2/d
Stone media TF design Solution) (3) Effluent BOD (mg/L) • BOD removal efficiency for first-stage filter at 20oC, %
Stone media TF design • Example 2 • A municipal wastewater having a BOD of 200 mg/L is to be treated by a two-stage trickling filter. The desired effluent quality is 25 mg/L of BOD. If both of the filter depths are to be 1.83 m and the recirculation ratio is 2:1, find the required filter diameters. Assume the following design assumptions apply. • Design assumptions: • Influent flow =7570 m3/d • Recirculation ratio = 2 • Depth of media = 1.83 m • Water temperature =20oC • BOD removal in primary sedimentation = 35% • E1=E2 =0.65

Stone media TF design Solution) (1) Compute the recirculation factor = (1+2)/ (1+0.2)2 = 2.08
Stone media TF design Solution) (2) Compute the BOD load for the first filter • BOD load = BOD Conc. x Influent flow = 200mg/L*(1-0.35) x 7570 m3/d =1234kg/d (3) Compute the volume for the first stage • V= 388 m3
Stone media TF design Solution) (4) Compute the diameter of the first filter A= V/depth = 388 m3/1.83m = 212 m2 Diameter = 16.4 m (5) Compute the BOD load for the second filter • BOD load to the second filter = (1-E1) x BOD load to the first filter = (1-0.646) x 1234 kg BOD/d = 437 kg BOD/d
Stone media TF design Solution) (6) Compute the volume for the first stage • V= 1096 m3 (7) Compute the diameter of the first filter A= V/depth = 1096 m3/1.83m 599 m2 Diameter = 27.6 m
