Question: 2. You need to determine the volume required for nitrification of a wastewater after BOD5 has been completely removed. The wastewater flow rate is 50

2. You need to determine the volume required for nitrification of a wastewater after BOD5 has been completely removed. The wastewater flow rate is 50 MGD and influent ammonium is 50 mg-N/L. The influent contains 1000 mg/L of microorganisms. You would like to achieve 95% conversion of ammonium to nitrate. Flow recycle is not to be applied. The following biokinetic parameters are observed: Y = 0.30 g VSS/gNH4-N q = 3.5 g NH4-N/g VSS-d K = 0.8 mg NH4-N/L b = 0.12/d (a) Determine the volume required if a CSTR will be put in place. (b) Determine the volume required if a plug flow reactor will be put in place, assuming ideal plug flow conditions. (c) CSTRs are more common than plug flow reactors. Based on your results from parts (a) and (d), does this make sense? What are some reasons that CSTRs are frequently used
