Question: For the wastewater sample characterization parameters are given: TSS 2 2 0 mg / L , VSS 2 0 0 mg / L , BOD

For the wastewater sample characterization parameters are given: TSS 220 mg/L, VSS 200 mg/L, BOD
200 mg/L, rbCOD 100 mg/L, TCOD 500 mg/L, sCOD 160 mg/L. Determine (a) the biodegradable COD
concentration, (b) the slowly biodegradable COD concentration, (c) the non-biodegradable volatile
suspended solids (nbVSS) concentration, and (d) the inert Total suspended solids (iTSS) concentration.
Assume that the bCOD/BOD ratio equals 1.6 and the activated sludge treatment effluent sCOD equals
30.0 mg/L.
