A three-stage rotating biocontactor system is to be designed to treat a wastewater flow of 0.1
MGD with a strength of 250 mg/L BOD5. A treatability study revealed a P =2500 mg/ft2day and
a Ks =100 mg/L. Compute the area requirements if an effluent having a BOD5 of 15 mg/L is
desired. hint First you want to derive an equation for the effluent substrate concentration (refer to slide 13). Then use trial and error method for A. For the first attempt, try A=35000 ft2(for your time saving).
