An activated sludge system is being used to treat 2000 m3/d of wastewater containing 250 mg/L BOD5. The measured parameters for the system are as follows: K; = 40 mg BOD5/L; ka = 0.01 d1; Y = 0.6 mg VSS/mg BOD; Hmax = 2.0 d1. MLVSS = 2000 mg/L. Calculate the aeration basin volume (m³) to achieve 99 % BOD5 removal.

Question
An activated sludge system is being used to treat 2000 m³/d of wastewater containing 250
mg/L BOD5. The measured parameters for the system are as follows: K; = 40 mg BOD5/L; ka =
0.01 d1; Y = 0.6 mg VSS/mg BOD5; µmax = 2.0 dª. MLVSS = 2000 mg/L. Calculate the aeration
basin volume (m³) to achieve 99 % BOD5 removal.
