Determine the length of pipe required for coliform

Reference no: EM13296982

A wastewater treatment plant must disinfect its effluent before discharging the wastewater to a near-by stream. The wastewater contains 4.5*105 fecal coliform colony-forming units (CFU) per liter. The maximum permissable fecal coliform concentration that may be discharged is 2,000 fecal coliform CFU/L. It is proposed that a pipe carrying the wastewater be used for disinfection process. Determine the length of pipe required if the linear velocity of the wastewater in the pipe is 0.75 m/sec. Assume that the pipe behaves as a steady-state plug-flow system and that the reaction rate constant for destruction of the fecal coliforms is 0.23 min^-1.
