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...
For the completely mixed activated sludge process shown below, the system boundary is shown by the dash line. Qis the wastewater flow rate into the aeration tank; Q, is the flow rate of liquid containing microorganisms to be wasted: X is the microorganism concentration (VSS) entering the aeration tank: X is the microorganism concentration (MLVSS) in the aeration tank; X is the microorganism concentration (VSS) in the effluent from secondary settling tank X, is the microorganism (VSS) in sludge being...
A completely mixed activated sludge plant is designed to treat
10,000 m3/d of an industrial wastewater. The wastewater has a BOD5
of 1200 mg/L. Pilot plant data indicates that a reactor volume of
6090 m3 with an MLSS concentration of 5000 mg/L should produce 83%
BOD5 removal. The value for Y is determined to be 0.7 kg/kg and the
value of kd is found to be 0.03 d–1. Under ow solids concentra-
tion is 12,000 mg/L. The ow diagram is...

2. A completely mixed activated sludge process is designed to treat 20,000 m/d of domestic wastewater having a BODs concentration of 250 mg/L following primary treatment. The NPDES permit requirement for effluent BODs and TSS is 20 mg/L for each. The biokinetic parameters have beern established as: yield 0.6, k 5/d, K-60 mg/L, and kd 0.06/d. The MLVSS concentration in the aeration tank is to be maintained at 3000 mg/L and the ratio of VSS/TSS is 0.75. Assume that the...

The wastewater has a BOD5 of 1200 mg/L that must be reduced to 200 mg/L prior to discharge to a municipal sewer. Pilot-plant analysis indicates that a mean cell-residence time of 5 d maintaining MLSS concentration of 5000 mg/L produces the desired results.

6) Mass balance and reactor design You have been hired as a high priced consultant to assess the performance of a reactor designed to treat a toxic chemical C to a "safe" level. You are given the following information: Q = 300 m²/d V = 2000 m Influent concentration (Ci) = 500 mg/L Required removal rate = 95% Degradation occurs according to the reaction rate equation r= -dC/dt = kС, where k= 3/d a. What order is this reaction? (2...
If the note growth rate of microorganisms is r'g, write a
steady-state biomass balance equation for the complete mixed
biological reactor (aeration tank) shown in the figure below.
If the influent Q = 0.150m3/s and BOD5 = 84 mg/L, volume of the
reactor V = 970 m3, and MLVSS concentration X = 2000 mg/L,
determine the F/M ratio.
