Construct a BOD demand curve for a sample that has a first order reaction constant K of 0.16 day–1 (base 10) and a nitrogenous reaction constant KN 0.08 day–1 (base 10). Nitrification is not significant until a period of 7.5 days has passed. The ultimate first stage BOD is 335 mg/L and the ultimate nitrogenous demand is 120 mg/L. 1) What is the total BOD exerted at 10 days? 2) How many complete days are required to exert at least 90% of the expected demand?
