Question
The waste water 1MLD with 500 mg/L
5-day BOD is to be treated by activated sludge
process (ASP). The desired effluent BOD is
30 mg/L.
(a) Volume of aerator
(b) If the ASP is designed as completely mixed
reactor without sludge recycle, determine
the hydraulic detention time and biological
solids retention time of the unit.
(c) Draw the flow diagram of this process.
Assume BOD loading rate of aeration tank
to be 0.5 kg of BOD removed/kg of MLSS/
day. Concentration of mixed suspended
solids (MLSS) in aeration tank is 2,000
mg/L.
