A completely mixed activated-sludge process is being designed for a wastewater flow of (2.64 mgd) using the kinetics equations. The influent BOD of 120 mg/Lis essentially all soluble and the design effluent soluble BOD is 7 mg/L, which is based on a total effluent BOD of 20 mg/L. For sizing the aeration tank, the mean cell residence time is selected to be10 days and the MLVSS 2000 mg/L. The kinetic constants from a bench-scale treatability study are as follows: Y...

A conventional activated sludge plant treating a domestic flow of 150 ML/d is operated at a SRT of 10 d with a MLVSS of 3500 ppm. The activated sludge plant is required to reduce the influent BOD from 200 ppm to less than 10 ppm prior to discharge. The discharge from the aeration basin is clarified, such that the clarifier overflow contains no particulate material and the MLVSS of the recycle stream is 8000 ppm. You are required to determine...

Design a CSTR to provide pretreatment for an industrial wastewater that flows at a rate of 1,000 fpm with a phenol concentration of 200 mg/L. Phenol undergoes a first-order decay reaction in the CSTR with a rate constant, k=0.50 hr^(-1). The current industrial pretreatment permit limitation for phenol is 20 mg/L. The permit limitation may be changed, either higher or lower, in the future. 1. Determine the required CSTR volume, V (in gallons), and hydraulic residence time, in V/Q (hours),...

A completely mixed activated sludge process is designed to treat 20,000 m3 /d of domestic wastewater having a BOD5 concentration of 250 mg/L following primary treatment. The NPDES permit requirement for effluent BOD5 and TSS is 20 mg/L for each. The biokinetic parameters have been established as: yield = 0.6 , k = 5/d, Ks = 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...

A beverage manufacturer has recently commissioned a 500 m3 aerated tank to biologically treat 4×105 L/d of wastewater prior to discharge. The tank is a single–pass configuration not catering for recycle. Regulations are particularly stringent requiring that the discharged waste not exceed 10 mg BOD/L owing to the sensitive receiving environment. You have been specifically asked to determine whether the current tank volume is adequate. If not, determine the maximum flow that can be treated while still meeting the BOD...

A rectangular, well-mixed aeration lagoon is 75 m long, 5 m wide, and 2 m deep. It receives 400 m3/d of wastewater with a BOD5of 367mg BOD5/L for treatment. The biodegradation rate constants for the wastewater are the following: yield coefficient = 0.8 mg VSS/mg BOD5, endogenous decay constant = 0.08 d-1, maximum specific microbial growth rate = 1 d-1, and half velocity constant = 76.0 mg BOD5/L.                                                                                                               What must the hydraulic detention time be in the aeration pond?
