1. A circular secondary clarifier (a.k.a. a final clarifier) is to be designed for an activated sludge treatment plant serving a municipality. The state regulatory agency criteria for final clarifiers used for activated sludge are: Peak SOR = 1,200 gal/day-ft2 Average SOR = 500 gal/day-ft2 Peak solids loading 50 lb/day-ft Peak weir loading-30,000 gal/day.ft The average flow to the aeration basin prior to junction with the recycle line is 3.5 MGD ·The recycled sludge flow is 30 percent of the...
Situation: The town of Waterville has the following past population data projected beyond 1990 Year Population 10,240 12,150 18,430 26210 22,480 32.410 45,050 57,200 64,030 77,320 1900 1910 1920 1930 1940 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990 The average water consumption (including every possible sector) is 160 gal/cap-day in 1998. The town has a wastewater treatment plant with a treatment capacity of 30 MGD. Due to the rapid growth of the population, the town is planning to build a new wastewater...
A wastewater treatment plant, which serves a population of 300,000 people, receives an average daily volume of 24 million gallons per day (MGD) at an average influent 5-day biochemical oxygen demand concentration of 200 mgBODs/L and an average influent total suspended solids concentration of 220 mgTSS/L. The plant operates a primary sedimentation process that remove 65% of the incoming TSS and 35% of the incoming BOD %. This process is followed by a secondary treatment process before discharge to the...
Situation (note: Problem 2 is not linked with Problem 1): Assuming the design flow rate of raw wastewater to be treated is 20 MGD in the design year, the dissolved BODs is 380 mg/L, and SS is 360 mg/L. The wastewater generated by the sludge treatment process is about 4 MGD with the dissolved BODs being 1800 mg/L, and SS being 1200 mg/L, and will be returned to the wet well in the pumping station at the beginning of the...
A wastewater treatment plant that treats wastewater to secondary treatment standards uses a primary sedimentation process followed by conventional activated sludge process composed of covered aeration tanks and secondary clarifiers. You are asked to calculate the different operation parameters to make sure that the system is operated within normal process ranges listed in the reference tables below. Table 5-20 Typical design information for primary sedimentation tanks U.S. customary units Item Unit Range Typical Primary sedimentation tanks followed by secondary treatment...
Secondary Treatment Based on a plant flow rate of 40 mgd, design an activated sludge, secondary treatment system with recycle which maintains a MLVSS = 2,000 mg/L in the aeration reactor and has an average Solids Retention Time (SRT)-4 days.

CIEG 328 HOMEWORK7 Homework 7 (Suspended growth) Due: 4/112019 Design an activated sludge biological treatment system for a typical medium-strength domestic wastewater with a design daily flow of 2.9 million gallons per day. Assume the plant effluent criteria are 10/10/1" This means that the plant must produce an effuent with average BODS and TSS concentrations of 10 mg/Leach year round, and an effluent ammonia concentration of 1 mg/L as N during the winter months. The layout of the plant will...
10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
