Design a laboratory scale chemostat to aerobically treat a 10 liters per day of a synthetic wastewater containing 500 mg/L of glucose. In order to design and operate such a chemostat you will need to not only need to calculate the volume of the reactor, but you also need to determine the amount of oxygen that must be supplied and at what rate, and the amount of biomass produced and the composition of the effluent (i.e., effluent COD and biomass concentration). Make reasonable assumptions for all necessary parameters you may need for this problem. Make sure to check units of parameters assumed

  Design a laboratory scale chemostat to aerobically treat a 10 liters per day of
a synthetic wastewater containing 500 mg/L of glucose. In order to design
and operate such a chemostat you will need to not only need to calculate the
volume of the reactor, but you also need to determine the amount of oxygen
that must be supplied and at what rate, and the amount of biomass produced
and the composition of the effluent (i.e., effluent COD and biomass
concentration). Make reasonable assumptions for all necessary parameters
you may need for this problem. Make sure to check units of parameters
assumed.
