Question: Problem 1 2 : A treatment plant processes 1 0 MGD of wastewater with 2 4 0 m g L BOD and 2 2 5

Problem 12: A treatment plant processes 10 MGD of wastewater with 240mgL BOD and 225
mgL suspended solid (SS). The discharge from the final clarifier contains 15mgLBOD and 20
mgL SS. Primary clarifier removes 60% of the suspended solids and 35% BOD. However, BOD
reduction does not contribute to the primary sludge production. The primary sludge has a sp.
gravity of 1.02 and solids content 6%. The cell yield (conversion of BOD reduction to biological
solids) is 65%. Calculate the volume of solid (ft3) from primary sludge.
(A)95
(B)101
(C)107
