Hi to all. New to group.  Can anyone direct me to where you can find some numbers on BOD5,TSS, FOGS of a small rural church.  If only a bathroom/wash basin is availblbe, would this not be similar in strength to Residential strength effluent?

AWS,

The fact that you have no kitchen or laundry connected impacts on the numbers somewhat. Crites and Tchobanoglous quote the following numbers in such a situation. Numbers are in lbs/per person per day and are the typical although ranges are also given.

BOD5 0.18

TSS 0.2

TKN as N 0.029

total P as P 0.007

O and G 0.0661

You will also have to consider the issue of frequency of use . Is it a Sunday only load or is it used extensively through the week as well.

Regards

TerryF

Terry,

 Thank you.  I did see some very comparable numbers to those.  Again, thank you for your time and input.
