An industry produces a degradable waste at flow rate of 0.72 m^3/day. Concentration of pollutant in the raw waste is 850 mg/L with first-order reaction rate constant of 2.5/day. The industry splits the flow into three parallel continous stirred tank reactors at 0.25 m^3/day to reactor one, 0.3 m^3/day to reactor two and the remaining 0.17 m^3/day to reactor three. If each reactor must achieve removal efficiency of 90%, what is the required detention time and the volume for each of the reactors?
