A completely mixed activated sludge process is to be used to treat a flow rate of 2.5 MGD. Design a rectangular activated sludge reactor with a 4:1 ratio of length to width. (design only 1 reactor for all flow). The effluent from the plant must not exceed 15 mg/L of BOD5. Use the following design criteria: a. BOD5 influent = 250.0 mg/L b. MLVSS (X) = 3500 mg/L c. Reactor depth = 11 ft d. Effluent BOD5 must be less...

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...

An activated sludge process with an aeration basin volume of 0.3 MG is treating wastewater with the average daily flow of 2 MGD. The raw sewage entering the treatment plant has an average BOD5 of 400 mg/L. The primary treatment removes 25% of BOD5 and the subsequent activated sludge process is designed to remove 90% of BOD5. Given: Plant effluent BOD5 concentration = 30 mg/L Biomass concentration in the aeration tank = 2,000 mg/L Biomass concentration in the plant effluent...

Two types of flow regime are normally used in the design of an activated sludge process, namely completely mixed and plug flow (both are continuous). Using first order kinetic reaction, demonstrate which flow regime provide a better performance, given the followings: Q = 550 m3/d t = 6 hours Co = 225 mg/L k = 0.15 d-1

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...
