Question: Given the following settling data for a mixed liquor, derived from an anoxic / aerobic activated sludge process, conduct a solids flux analysis to estimate

Given the following settling data for a mixed liquor, derived from an anoxic/aerobic activated sludge process, conduct a solids flux analysis to estimate the maximum mixed-liquor suspended solids concentration that can be maintained in the aeration tank if the return sludge recycle rate QR is equal to 80percent of Q.MLSS (g/m3)Initial settling velocity (m/h)10006.34620003.30230001.42540000.82450000.43160000.23170000.11280000.05990000.03110,0000.01611,0000.00712,0000.00413,0000.00214,0000.001.Draw a sketch for this problem including the aeration tank and clarifier and label all streams. and also Determine a. The total solids flux in the clarifier b. The flux curves in an appropriately labelled graph, the limiting solids flux and the maximum underflow concentration. c. Based on your solids flux analysis, determine the maximum mixed-liquor suspended solids concentration that can be maintained in the aeration tank. d. Assuming an average flowrate to the aeration tank of 27,000 m3/d, determine the total area required for clarification, the number of tanks and diameter of each tank. e. Based on your proposed design, what is the surface overflow rate and hydraulic residence time in the clarifiers. Conduct necessary checks to determine if these values are suitable making reference to the relevant tables in the textbook. Canyou solve these for me by using the data given.
