Biological Processes

Biological solid waste includes bacterial and contaminated waste produced by living individuals. Its treatment is essential to prevent the spread of any air-borne or water-borne diseases or diseases transmitted from one organism to another in a food chain. There are many benefits of the biological solid waste treatment and some of them are: the minimized quantity of waste substance, waste control, eradicating any disease-causing pathogens, generation of biogas, composting, anaerobic digestion, bio drying, mechanical biological treatment, microbial fuel cell, phytoremediation, and biofiltration. The final products of the biological solid waste treatment may be recycled to obtain organic fertilizers or disposed of in SWDS (Solid Waste Disposal Site) after proper treatment.

An anaerobic digester is operated with a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 25 d and a flow rate of 0.85 m³/d. The influent substrate concentration is 18 g/L and the digestion process is assumed to follow first order kinetics with a Ko value of 0.09 d'¹. Calculate: (a) the liquid volume of the anaerobic digester, V (m³) (b) the effluent substrate concentration, So (g/L)
The discharge from the Renenutet sugar beet plant causes the DO at the critical point to fall to 4.0 mg/L. The Meskhenet Stream has a negligible BOD and the initial deficit after the river and wastewater have mixed is zero. What DO will result if the concentration of the waste(L_w) is reduced by 50%? Assume that the flows remain the same and that the saturation value of DO is 10.83 mg/L in both cases.
Enter T next to the following true statements and F next to the false statements. Settling of suspended solids in secondary clarifiers is typical of Type II sedimentation. Thickening prior to digestion is common in many wastewater treatment plants because it reduces the size needed for the digester. Based on a temperature of 30°C, a design mean cell residenee time of about 20 days would be reasonable for a completely-mixed anaerobic digester without recycle. A volatile suspended solid is defined as an organic solid that can be oxidized to CO2 (g) at 250°C. The theoretical yield coefficient can be estimated from the observed yield coefficient if the specific growth rate constant is known. Air flotation would likely be more efficient for thickening waste activated sludge than primary sludge, while the opposite would be true for gravity thickening. The net mass of cells produced in the activated sludge process equals the total cell mass synthesized minus the cell mass wasted as waste…
