I did see some very comparable numbers to those. Again, thank you for your time and input.Fri, 01 Feb 2008 10:20:54 GMTAWS08RE: Wastewater Characterization of small Rural Churchhttp://www.wef.org/TechnicalDiscussions/Topic8182-5-1.aspxAWS,</P><P>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.</P><P>BOD5 0.18</P><P>TSS 0.2</P><P>TKN as N 0.029</P><P>total P as P 0.007</P><P>O and G 0.0661</P><P>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.</P><P>Regards</P><P>TerryFThu, 31 Jan 2008 15:54:52 GMTTerryFWastewater Characterization of small Rural Churchhttp://www.wef.org/TechnicalDiscussions/Topic8182-5-1.aspxHi 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?Thu, 31 Jan 2008 13:14:51 GMTAWS08
