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...
