Question: ( A ) An activated sludge system is to he used for secondary treatment of 1 5 0 0 0 m ^ 3 / d

(A) An activated sludge system is to he used for secondary treatment of 15000m ^3/ d of municipal wastewater. After primary clarification, the BOD is 100 mg/L, and it is desired to have not more than 5 mg/l. soluble BOD in the effluent. A completely mixed reactor is to be used, and pilot-plant analysis has established the following kinetic values: Y =0.5kg / k * g_{i} ka=0.05 d Assuming an MISS concentration of 3200 mg/L and an underflow concentration of 11000mg / L from the secondary clarifier, determine (1) the volume reactor, (2) the mass and volume of solids that must be wasted each day, and (3) the recycle ratio.
