5) The town of Camp Verde has been directed to upgrade its primary Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) to a secondary plant that can meet an effluent standard of 25 mg/L BOD5 and 30 mg/L suspended solids. They have selected a completely mixed activated sludge system for the upgrade. The existing primary treatment plant has a flow rate of 0.029 m³/s. The effluent from the primary tank has a BOD5 of 240 mg/L. Using the following assumptions, estimate the required volume of the aeration tank. 1. BOD; of the effluent suspended solids is 70% of the allowable suspended solids concentration. 2. Growth constants values are estimated to be: K=100 mg/L BOD5; ka = 0.025 d-1; μm 10 d-1; Y=0.8 mg VSS/mg BOD5 removed. = 3. The design MLVSS is 3000 mg/L

Transcribed Image Text:5) The town of Camp Verde has been directed to upgrade its primary Wastewater Treatment
Plant (WWTP) to a secondary plant that can meet an effluent standard of 25 mg/L BOD5
and 30 mg/L suspended solids. They have selected a completely mixed activated sludge
system for the upgrade. The existing primary treatment plant has a flow rate of 0.029 m³/s.
The effluent from the primary tank has a BOD5 of 240 mg/L. Using the following
assumptions, estimate the required volume of the aeration tank.
1. BOD; of the effluent suspended solids is 70% of the allowable suspended solids
concentration.
2. Growth constants values are estimated to be: K=100 mg/L BOD5; ka = 0.025 d-1; μm
= 10 d-1; Y=0.8 mg VSS/mg BOD5 removed.
3. The design MLVSS is 3000 mg/L
