Calculate the efficient substrate concentration, the thickening ratio and the purge rate given the
following data from an activated sludge waste water treatment plant.
Influent flow rate:
H
Mixed Influent BOD concentration
Qi=1000m³/hr
So = 356mg/1
Sludge concentration (Basin) X = (MLVSS) 4mg/l
Effluent sludge content
Influent sludge content
Raw Influent BOD concentration
Substrate removal rate by r, is given by the equation
Net growth rate of the micro-organisms rx is given by
where:
Xe=0mg/1
Xi = 0mg/1
S₁ = 450 mg/L
