Question: Q 3 . A complete - mix activated sludge treatment plant is designed to treat 1 0 , 0 0 0 m 3 of wastewater

Q3.
A complete-mix activated sludge treatment plant is designed to treat 10,000m3 of wastewater daily. The plant's primary clarifiers are capable of removing 40% of influent BOD. The following information is given for the system design:
Influent BOD of primary clarifier: 350mgL
Plant effluent BOD: 20mgL
Wasted and recycle solids concentration: 12,000mgL
HRT: 4hr
Synthesis yield, Y: 0.5kg biomass ?kg BOD.d
Endogenous decay rate, kd:0.055d-1
Based on the above information and Table 1.0, determine:
(i) Influent BOD of aeration tank
(ii) Aeration tank volume
(iii) MLSS concentration in the aeration tank
(iv) F/M ratio
(v) Volumetric loading rate
(vi) Quantity of wasted sludge daily
(vii) The flow rates of streams A-E (in Figure 1.0) in m3day
