Question: ( 3 5 points ) . An activated sludge plant is located at an elevation of 5 , 1 3 0 - ft . The

(35 points). An activated sludge plant is
located at an elevation of 5,130-ft. The
maximum oxygen demand occurs in the
summer when the air temperature is 100F
and the maximum wastewater temperature is
82F. The oxygen demand is 14,213lbs.
O2? day. The airflow per diffuser is 15-scfm
(at 1-atm and 20C),=0.75,=0.95, the
operating DO =2.0-mgL, the tank depth =
15ft and the diffusers are 1.5-ft above the
tank bottom. Determine:
(15-pts) The oxygen transfer for the diffusers.
(10-pts) The total airflow at the plant site;
(10-pts) The total number of diffusers
required;
( 3 5 points ) . An activated sludge plant is
