Question: 2 . A bioreactor system treats 6 0 , 0 0 0 m 3 / day of wastewater with a BOD 5 concentration of 2

2. A bioreactor system treats 60,000 m3/day of wastewater with a BOD5 concentration of
200 mg/L and a TSS concentration of 210 mg/L, which are typical of unclarified domestic wastewater. The average temperature is 20\deg C. The discharge standards are 30 mg/L
BOD5 and 30 mg/L TSS on a maximum monthly basis (i.e., typical secondary treatment).
Calculate the mass of MLSS in the bioreactor (in TSS units), the process solids wastage
rate (in TSS units), and the process oxygen requirements for this application. Neglect process oxygen requirements for nitrification. Justify your choice of SRT
