The theoretical yield coefficient can be estimated from the observed yield coefficient if the -pecified growth rate constant is known. Air flotation would likely be more efficient for thickening waste activated sludge than primary ludge, while the opposite would be true for gravity thickening. The net mass of cells produced in the activated sludge process equals the total cell mass ynthesized minus the cell mass wasted as waste activated sludge. Although the main purpose of an equalization basin is to give a relatively constant flow rate t lownstream treatment operations and processes, a secondary benefit is the removal of some of th otal suspended solids.

An anaerobic digester (AD) is designed with the following data. Organic loading rate 1.0 kg VSS/m³.day VSS load 120 kg/day (i). (ii). Estimate the volume of the AD. If the VSS is 12 kg/m³, estimate the retention time.
Enter T next to the following true statements and F next to the false statements. Settling of suspended solids in secondary clarifiers is typical of Type II sedimentation. Thickening prior to digestion is common in many wastewater treatment plants because it reduces the size needed for the digester. Based on a temperature of 30°C, a design mean cell residenee time of about 20 days would be reasonable for a completely-mixed anaerobic digester without recycle. A volatile suspended solid is defined as an organic solid that can be oxidized to CO2 (g) at 250°C. The theoretical yield coefficient can be estimated from the observed yield coefficient if the specific growth rate constant is known. Air flotation would likely be more efficient for thickening waste activated sludge than primary sludge, while the opposite would be true for gravity thickening.
