Question: Describe how the following changes in parameters will affect the efficiency of the removal of organic matter ( as BOD ) for an aeration basin

Describe how the following changes in parameters will affect the efficiency of the removal of organic matter (as BOD) for an aeration basin with cell recycle with the characteristics listed below:
Y =0.70 mg suspended solids/mg BOD
X =1,000 mg/L
k_d =1.80/day
\theta c =5.0 days
\theta =0.12 days
S0=400 mg BOD/L
a) Change 1: Increase the retention time by 10%.
b) Change 2: Removal of half of the biomass concentration.
