Question: An extended Aeration process is used in a WWTP . The Plant receives 1 MLD with a BCOD of 3 5 0 mg / L

An extended Aeration process is used in a WWTP. The Plant receives 1 MLD with a BCOD
of 350mg/L. Calculate the following,
a) Effluent COD
b) Required volume, if MLSS within the reactor =4000 mg/L given MLSS/MLVSS =1.5. Ks=
100 mg/L. Consider, k =0.1 mg/L/day, kd =0.05 mg/L/day and YT =0.5.
c) If flow rate doubles and sedimentation tanks inefficiency cause a loss of 0.075% suspended
solids, calculate the steady state effluent COD. Given entire VSS is biomass only.
