A wastewater treatment plant with activated-sludge process treats wastewater for 120,000 m3/d. The effluent standard for both BOD and TSS is 20 mg/L. Influent TSS concentration is 450 mg/L and influent BOD concentration is 220 mg/L. MLSS concentration is 3500 mg/L (Assume no nitrification and temperature is 20°C). Determine: (20 pts) (a) Influent BOD and TSS concentration to the aeration tank if the treatment efficiencies in primary clarifier are 30% and 70% for BOD and TSS, respectively. (b) Determine sludge production as kg TSS/d (c) What is the design volume and retention time of the aeration basin (m3)? (d) Determine the F/M ratio in units of kg BOD5/kg MLVSS-day.
(According to your design you can assume some parameters i.e SRT but do not forget to check both your assumptions and your results are in the desirable design conditions)

Design an aeration tank for activated sludge wastewater treatment designed to meet an effluent standard of 10 mg/L BOD5. The flow from the primary effluent is 10 m3/min with a primary effluent BOD5 of 250 mg/L. The design calls for the suspended solids to equal 3500 mg/L for an SRT of 5 days. The decay rate constant is 0.03 day-1 and the yield is 0.75 mg/mg. Determine: the tank volume required to meet these specifications, the resulting mass of sludge...

A conventional activated-sludge plant treats 10.0 MGD of municipal wastewater with a BOD concentration of 240 mg/l and suspended solids of 200 mg/l. The sludge flow pattern is shown in Figure 11-1 of the textbook with a gravity belt thickener to concentrate the excess activated sludge. Primary and thickened activated sludge are pumped separately to the anaerobic digester. The primary clarifier removes 50% of the suspended solids and 35% of the BOD. The primary sludge solids content is 4.0%. The...

A wastewater plant with the activated sludge process received 5 × 106 L/day of wastewater with a BOD5 of 500 mg/L. The primary clarifier removes 30% of the BOD and primary clarify effluent has no biomass (Xi=0 mg/L). Recycle (Qr) and waste sludge (Qw) flows are 25% and 2% of Qin, respectively. Effluent BOD5 from secondary clarifier and waste sludge is 20 mg/L. Microorganism concentration in the waste sludge (Xw) is 6,000 mg/L. Soluble BOD5 is biologically converted into CO2...

A wastewater treatment plant that treats wastewater to secondary treatment standards uses a primary sedimentation process followed by an activated sludge process composed of aeration tanks and a secondary clarifiers. This problem focuses on the activated sludge process. The activated sludge process receives a flow of 15 million gallons per day (MGD). The primary sedimentation process effluent has a BOD5 concentration of 180 mgBOD5/L (this concentration is often referred as S). Before flowing into the activated sludge process, the primary...

A 100-mL water sample is collected from the activated sludge process of municipal wastewater treatment. The sample is placed in a drying dish (weight = 0.5000 g before the sample is added), and then placed in an oven at 104°C until all the moisture is evaporated. The weight of the dried dish is recorded as 0.5625 g. A similar 100-mL sample is filtered and the 100-mL liquid sample that passes through the filter is collected and placed in another drying...
