Plot the expected effluent bsCOD and VSS concentration for an aerobic lagoon modeled as a chemostat for reactor volumes between 100 and 2000 m³ (increase by 100 m³ increments) given the following information: influent bsCOD = 530 mg/L, Q = 700 m³/d, Y = 0.5, Ks = 15 mg/L, maximum specific substrate utilization rate = 6 d-¹, b = 0.1 d-1. Calculate the minimum sludge age according to the chemostat model, and from that the minimum reactor volume. Where does this fall on your graph? What lagoon volume would you actually recommend building, and why?

Plot the expected effluent bsCOD and VSS concentration for an aerobic
lagoon modeled as a chemostat for reactor volumes between 100 and 2000 m3
(increase by 100 m3 increments) given the following information: influent bsCOD =
530 mg/L, Q = 700 m/d, Y = 0.5, Ks = 15 mg/L, maximum specific substrate
utilization rate = 6 d1, b = 0.1 d-1. Calculate the minimum sludge age according to
the chemostat model, and from that the minimum reactor volume. Where does this
fall on your graph? What lagoon volume would you actually recommend building,
and why?
