(20 pts ) Showing all your work and reasoning, find the volume of aeration tank in a water treatment process. The water treatment plant with a completely mixed activated sludge system needs to meet an effluent standard of 20mgL of BOD 5 and 15mgL of suspended solids. Before the activated sludge tank, there is a primary tank which has a flow rate of 0.9m3s and the effluent has BODs of 85mgL. Using the assumptions provided, estimate the required volume of the aeration tank.
BOD5 of the effluent suspended solids is 80 percent of suspended solids concentration.
Growth constants are estimated to be; Ks=100mgL BOD5; Kd=0.070d-1;m=2.5d-1;Y=0.5mg VSS/mg BOD5 removed.
The design MLVSS is 2,000mgL
S=BOD5 allowed - BOD5 in suspended solids
