Question

For a completely mixed activated sludge reactor treating municipal wastewater, we can assume the following kinetic and operating parameters:

  • Maximum specific growth rate (μmax) = 3 day-1
  • Yield = 0.6 mass cells/mass BOD5 utilized
  • Half-velocity coefficient (KS) = 200 mg/L
  • Decay coefficient (KD) = 0.06 day-1
  • Influent substrate concentration (S0) = 400 mg/L
  • MCRT = 5 days
  • Reactor volume = 3 ML (million liters)
  • Wastewater flow rate (Q) = 10 MLD (million liters per day)
  • Returned activated sludge flow rate (QR) = 5 MLD

Calculate the substrate concentration in the effluent (S), cell concentration in the reactor (X), sludge production rate (QWXW), hydraulic retention time (θH), waste sludge flow rate (QW), F/M ratio, and clarifier size.
