Two circular clarifiers operated in parallel service a single stage bio-tower system (plastic media) that receives municipal wastewater at an average flow (Qaverage) of 2000 m³/d, with BOD5 = 200 mg/L. The internal flow recirculation ratio is 2.4. The maximum overflow rate for the clarifiers is 1.8 m³/m²-hr. The design procedures require that the sizing of the clarifiers be based on "PEAK" flow which is twice the average flow (Qpeak = 2 × Qaverage), and media depth in the biotower is 3.0 m. Determine: (a) The overall BOD5 removal. (b) the surface area and the diameter of each clarifier. (k = 0.06 min¹; n = 0.5),

As an operator of a wastewater treatment facility, you have learned that your plant runs well at an SRT (based on MLVSS (X) in the aeration basin) of 12 days. If today’s MLVSS (X) concentration is 2,700 mg/L and the RAS (Xr) concentration is 5,500 mg/L, how many L of sludge should you waste from the secondary clarifier today?
