Question: 4 . Laboratory test reactors have been operated at different SRT values at steady state to obtain biological kinetic coefficients for wastewater with soluble COD

4. Laboratory test reactors have been operated at different SRT values at steady state to obtain biological kinetic coefficients for wastewater with soluble COD only. The reactors are complete- mix and aerated with clarifiers and solids recycle. The HRT value in all cases is 0.167 d and the
SRT values were varied for the five tests. The influent and effluent soluble COD and reactor MLVSS concentrations are summarized as follows:
Test No. SRT, d S0, mg COD/L S, mg COD/L X, mg VSS/L
13.1400103950
22.140014.32865
31.640021.02100
40.840049.51050
50.6400101.6660
From these results determine the values for the kinetic coefficients, k, KS,, Y, and b.
Note: plot 1 VS using Eq.7-39, and
VS 1 using Eq.7-12.
