3.) Based on the population and the typical per capita<br />

BOD 5 loading, estimate the raw BOD 5 ( in mg/L).<br />

Estimated BOD 5 loading (kg/d) =<br />

= Population x Per Capita BOD 5 loading (g/person.d) /1000 (g/kg)<br />

= 1065 persons x 80 g/person day /1000 g/kg<br />

= 85.2 kg/d BOD 5<br />

Flow = 429 m 3 /d<br />

Estimated Concentration (kg/m 3 )<br />

= Estimated load (kg/d) / flow (m 3 /d)<br />

= 85.2 kg/d / 429 m 3 /d = 0.200 kg/m 3<br />

Estimated Concentration (mg/L)<br />

= Estimated concentration (kg/m 3 ) x 1000 (mg/L/kg/m 3 )<br />

= 0.200 (kg/m 3 ) x 1000 (mg/L/kg/m 3)<br />

= 200 mg/L BOD 5
