A wastewater flow of 18,000 m3/day is to be treated in a completely mixed activated sludge system at a concentration of 3000 mg/L MLSS (mixed liquor suspended solids). The secondary clarifier is designed to thicken the sludge to 12,000 mg/L. Assuming a growth yield coefficient of 0.5 Kg/Kg, an influent BOD of 100 mg/L with a residence time of 8 days, determine the following: a) The volume of the reactor b) The mass of the solids and the wet volume...
(30 points) A completely mixed activated sludge system comprised of an aerated reactor and a secondary clarifier with sludge return is going to treat 15,000 m/d of industrial wastewater. The primary effluent going to the reactor has a BODs of 1,100 mg/L that must be reduced to 150 mg/L prior to discharge to a municipal sewer. The pilot study was conducted and generated the following results: 3. Mean cell residence time- 5 day, MLSS concentration in the reactor 7.200 mg/L...
- of waste? PROBLEM 3 (20) An activated sludge wastewater treatment system uses a 8-million-L aeration basin. The mean cell retention time is 12 days. The MLSS is kept at 3100 mg/L and the recycled activated sludge (RAS) is 11000 mg/L. What is the wasted activated sludge (WAS) rate if the sludge is wasted from a) the aeration basin and b) the recycle line? Read the question. I already posted it before and 'Rashid' copied it from an earlier wrong...
Question 2 A complete mix activated sludge process is to be used for biological treatment. Assume the following for the activated sludge process: • Plant influent BODs of 156 mg/L • Sludge age is 8 days Biomass yield (Y) of 0.54 kg biomass / kg BOD • Endogenous decay rate (kd) = 0.05 day! • Ks=10 g BOD/m3 Biomass concentration (X) of 2700 mg/L • recycle biomass concentration (Xr) of 12,000 mg/L The fresh flow rate treated is 1000 m²/day...

So 3. An activated sludge plant treats 5 MGD and the average influent BOD is 200 mg/L. The WWTP has 2 aeration basins, each 100 ft x 25 ft x 15 ft deep and 2 final clarifiers with diameters of 20 ft. About 35% of BOD is removed in primary clarifiers. Determine the BOD in the primary effluent, hydraulic retention time, F/M ratio, BOD exiting the aeration basin and mass of solids wasted (1b/d).
