A continuous flow through the activated sludge process treats 1500 m3/day flowwith a BOD of 250 g/m3. Given parameters are Y=0.6, Maximum sp. substrate utilizationrate=2.0 g BOD/g cells-day, decay = 0.1/day and Ks= 4. Make typical assumptions ofactivated sludge as needed.a) Calculate the mean cell residence time and reactor volume for 99 % BOD removal.b) Repeat these calculations for a system that recycles 50 % of cells in 10 % of theinfluent flow
An activated sludge treatment process uses a rectangular tank that can be modeled as two completely mixed reactors in series. The volume of the tank is 300 cubic meters (for modeling purposes 150 cubic meters each) and the flow rate into the system is 900 m3/day. The influent BOD concentration is 180 mg/L and the first order reaction rate coefficient is 0.5 hr-1. What is the effluent concentration of BOD? If the Biomass Yield, Y is equal to 0.6 mg SS/mg of BOD metabolized, what is the rate of SS (biomass) production in the aeration tanks (mg/L-day)? If the post-secondary clarifier effluent SS concentration is 10 mg/L, the sludge recycling rate is 33%, and the waste sludge flow rate is 5 m3/day, what is the SS concentration in the waste sludge (hint: assume the system is at steady state and complete a mass balance)? What is the sludge age?
The flow of a river is 1.5 m3/s, the river is polluted with the pesticide permethrin and flows into a lake (100 m x 100 m 2.5 m) 25000m3.
