An activated sludge process with an aeration basin of 4,000 m³ is treating a wastewater flow of 7,500
m³/day. The influent BOD5 is 250 mg/L and the activated sludge is designed to remove 90% of BOD5.
(**Biomass wasting directly from the aeration basin)
Pertinent data: Biomass concentration in aeration basin = 2000 mg/L
Biomass concentration in the effluent = 20 mg/L
Waste flow rate = 250 m³/day (biomas wasted directly from the aeration basin)
kd = 0.01 d-¹
(a) Calculate the MCRT of the process.
(b) Determine the yield coefficient, Y.
(c) If the recycle ratio is 0.5 (i.e., QR = 50% of Q), calculate biomass concentration in recycled activated
sludge, XR. (Assume: influent biomass, X = 0)
