I need a step by step solution thanks. Problem 1:
Consider the design of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) for a community. The raw sewage has an average of 230mgL BODs and 260mgL of suspended solids. The average daily wastewater design flows is 2.0MGD.
Assume that the primary sedimentation process removes 60% of the suspended solids and 40% of the BOD5 of the raw sewage.
a) Determine the SS and BOD5 concentrations in the primary sedimentation effluent flow.
The primary effluent is to be treated by two parallel trains of the complete mix activated sludge process. Assume average flow conditions, and the primary sedimentation performance as described in part 2 above. Assume the following for the activated sludge process:
Plant effluent BOD5 of 8mgL
Biomass yield of 0.55kg biomass /kg BOD
Endogenous decay rate (kd)=0.04 day ?-1
Solids Retention Time (c)=8 days
MLVSS concentration in the aeration tank of 3000mgL
Waste and recycle solids concentration of 12,000mgL
a) Determine the aeration tank yolume in cubic meters.
b) Determine the mass and volumetric flow rates (kg? day and cubic meters per day) of wasted sludge.
c) Determine the food to microorganism ratio (FM) for the aeration tank in kg BOD per day per kg MLVSS.
d) Determine the design hydraulic detention time (HDT) in hours.
