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...
