An analysis for determination of solids in the return sludge of activated sludge process was done as follows: (1) A crucible was dried to a constant mass of 62.485 g. (2) 75 ml of a well-mixed sample was taken in the crucible. (3) The crucible with the sample was dried to a constant mass of 65.020 g in a drying oven at 104° C. The crucible with the dried sample was placed in a muffle furnace at 600°C for an hour. After cooling, the mass of the crucible with residues was 63:145 g. The concentration of organic fraction of solids present in the return sludge sample is

Free settling rate of a sludge is 0.25 cm/min. Using an original height of 25 cm, the sludge settledto a height of 18 cm after the free‐settling period. The sludge was found to settle to a height of10 cm after 110 min. This particular sludge was found to settle completely to a height of 4 cm.Calculate the time to settle to a height of 1/5 of its original height in a cylindrical tank whosediameter is 85% of its depth if it is 85% full. Consider 100 cubic feet of sludge in the tank.
The bed thickness of a speed sand filter is 1.3 m. A sand with a specific diameter of 0.8 mm and a specific gravity of 2600 kg / m3 will be used as filter material. The shape factor of the sand is 0.9 and the porosity of the clean bed is 0.45. The water layer thickness on the bed is 1.1 m.
