After primary treatment, a municipal wastewater contains 150 mg/L BOD5. The wastewater flow of 0.44 m³/s (10 MGD) is then treated in an activated sludge system with an SRT of 12 d and an HRT of 6 h. Given the biokinetic parameters tabulated below, determine the limiting value of the biotreatment safety factor (dimensionless).
