Question: A completely mixed aerobic digester is to be designed to treat the waste solids characterized in Study Question 6 . The solids will be thickened

A completely mixed aerobic digester is to be designed to treat the waste solids characterized in Study Question 6. The solids will be thickened to 10,000 mg/L prior to digestion but no additional thickening will be prac- ticed in the digester. The winter operating temperature will be 1O"C, and the temperature correction factor, 8, is 1.04.The flow rate of the thickened solids will be 500 m3/day.(a) What SRT is required to provide 38% VSS destruction during winter operating conditions? (b) The temperature of the bioreactor can be elevated to 25\deg C by insulation and selection of the oxygen transfer device. What SRT is required to achieve a 38% VSS destruction at this temperature? (c) What is the SOUR of the digested solids at 25"C?(d) What is the oxygen requirement for the aerobic di- gester? (e) What volume must the digester have at 25"C?(f) Assuming that FSS are lost during digestion in a first order manner, what is the percent reduction in TSS at 25"C?(8) How much power is required to mix the bioreactor at 25"C?
