The 750-bed Associated Center of Medical Excellence (ACME) Hospital has a small activated sludge plant to treat its wastewater. The average daily Medical Center discharge is 1,250 L per day per bed, and the average soluble BOD5 after primary settling is 450 mg/L. The aeration tank has effective liquid dimensions of 10.0 m wide by 25.0 m long by 3.5 m deep. The plant operating parameters are as follows: MLVSS = 2,750 mg/L MLSS = 1.25 (MLVSS) Settled sludge volume after 30 min = 250 mL/LDetermine the following: aeration period, F/M ratio, SVI, solids concentration in return sludge.

Question
The 750-bed Associated Center of Medical Excellence (ACME) Hospital has a small activated sludge plant to treat its wastewater. The average daily Medical Center discharge is 1,250 L per day per bed, and the average soluble BOD5 after primary settling is 450 mg/L. The aeration tank has effective liquid dimensions of 10.0 m wide by 25.0 m long by 3.5 m deep.
The plant operating parameters are as follows:
MLVSS = 2,750 mg/L
MLSS = 1.25 (MLVSS)
Settled sludge volume after 30 min = 250 mL/LDetermine the following: aeration period, F/M ratio, SVI, solids concentration in return sludge.
