This problem has three parts. This is part 1. An industry has a two-stage treatment process with a volumetric flow rate of 3,785 m3/d. The first stage is a bioreactor with a hydraulic detention time of 1 day. The second stage is a treatment lagoon with an approximate hydraulic detention time of 10 days. For a maximum specific rate of substrate utilization of 18 mg BODL/mg VSSa-d, half-saturation constant of 10 mg BODL/L, endogenous decay coefficient of 0.25 d-1, true yield for cell synthesis of 0.7 mg VSSa/mg BODL, biodegradable fraction of 0.90, input concentration of inert biomass of 40 mg VSSi/L (assume no active biomass influent) and an influent substrate concentration of 1000 mg BODL/L. Calculate the total biological oxygen demand in the effluent, in mg BODL/L assuming the formation of soluble microbial products can be ignored.
