Unit Conversion

Standard units are also called SI units. SI units are used for measuring a physical quantity satisfying certain conditions. There are two types of units: fundamental units and derived units. Fundamental units are physical quantities that are independent, that is, they do not depend on other quantities like mass, length, or time. There are plenty of quantities in our lives which need to be measured and compared. Measuring is the comparison of a particular physical quantity with its reference value. A unit is a measure of a fixed physical quantity. A physical quantity is the product of a unit and the numerical value we need to compare with.

A wastewater flow with the following characteristics is to be treated in a completely mixed activated-sludge system. This system is operated at the sludge age of 10d and treats wastewater flowing at 18,000 m3/d. Average influent BOD is 200 mg/L and 92% BOD removal has been achieved. Yield is 0.4 kg biomass/kg BOD and decay coefficient is kd = 0.06 d1.

4 An activated sludge system is to be used for secondary treatment of 10,000 m³/d of municipal wastewater. After primary clarification, the BOD is 150 mg/L, and it is desired to have not more than 5 mg/L of soluble BOD in the effluent. A completely mixed reactor is to be used, and pilot-plant analysis has established the following kinetic values: Y = 0.5 kg/kg, k, = 0.05 d-¹. Assuming an MLSS concentration of 3000 mg/L and an underflow concentration of 10,000 mg/L from the secondary clarifier (MLVSS=0.8MLSS) determine (1) the volume of the reactor, (2) the mass and volume of solids that must be wasted each day, and (3) the recycle ratio.

An activated sludge treatment process uses a rectangular tank that can be modeled as two completely mixed reactors in series. The volume of the tank is 300 cubic meters (for modeling purposes 150 cubic meters each) and the flow rate into the system is 900 m3/day. The influent BOD concentration is 180 mg/L and the first order reaction rate coefficient is 0.5 hr-1. What is the effluent concentration of BOD? If the Biomass Yield, Y is equal to 0.6 mg SS/mg of BOD metabolized, what is the rate of SS (biomass) production in the aeration tanks (mg/L-day)? If the post-secondary clarifier effluent SS concentration is 10 mg/L, the sludge recycling rate is 33%, and the waste sludge flow rate is 5 m3/day, what is the SS concentration in the waste sludge (hint: assume the system is at steady state and complete a mass balance)?
