a) A wastewater treatment plant consists of primary treatment followed by an activated-sludge secondary system. The plant processes 7000 m3/d of wastewater with 180 mg/L of BOD5 and 150 mg/L of suspended solids. The primary sludge contains 500 kg of dry solids per day with 4.5% solids content. The plant produces 760 kg of total sludge (primary and secondary) per day. Assume 30% removal efficiency of the primary clarifier and F/M ratio of 0.2 for the aeration tank. b) The thickened sludge from problem a) is to be digested in a standard-rate mesophilic anaerobic digester (MAD). The sludge has 68% organic content, and approximately 60% of the organic fraction is digested after a 30-d period. The digested sludge has a solids content of 6% and is stored for a period of 90 d.

The plant operators at the Acme WWTP maintains the 10,000 gal aeration basin shown below with a constant 1500mg/L mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS). The suspended solids are separated in a clarifier with recycle of the separated sludge. The recycle flow rate is 5,000 gal per day and 500 gal of recycle are wasted daily. Given that the plant treats 25,000 gals of liquid waste per day and the effluent contains 30 mg/L MLSS, find the solids retention time assuming the system is at steady-state.
