Question

Transcribed Image Text:Biomass and substrate mass balance equations
can be merged giving
QwXR/VX=Y/X (Qo/V) (So-S)-kd
(i) Prove that X= SRT/HRT
Note that HRT = t and SRT = tc.
(ii) If you are an engineer working in a
wastewater consultancy company, and obtained
the following data: -
SRT = 20 days
HRT 20 hours
=
(Y(So-S)/1+kd(SRT)).
So = 350 mg/L
S = 100 mg/L
Y = 0.15
kd = 0.22 per day
Calculate the increment of MLSS (%) required in
the aerobic tank if the discharge BOD5 in the
effluent needs to achieve 10 mg/L.
