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...

The Lolla Hart hospital has a small activated sludge plant to treat its wastewater. The average daily hospital discharge is 1,500 L per day per bed, and the average soluble BOD5 after primary settling is 500 mg/L. Their permit dictates that the effluent BOD5 and TSS cannot exceed 30 and 20 mg/L, respectively, on an annual basis. Assume the MLVSS concentration in the aeration basin will be maintained at 3,000 mg/L. Also, assume that the concentration of BOD5 of 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 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...
