    W = Width v = velocity

    V = Volume

    SG = Specific Gravity

    Chlorine Demand (mg/L) = dosage (mg/L) residual (mg/L) AREA Rectangle: A = L x W VOLUME Cylinder: V = R2H VELOCITIES and FLOW RATES 1. Velocity = distance time 2. Q = v x A DETENTION TIME Detention Time = V Q PARTS PER MILLION / POUNDS lbs = 8.34 lbs / gal x mg/L x MG x SG Circle: Area = R2 Cone: V = 1/3R2H

    Triangle: A = B x H

    Rectangular Basin: V = L x W x H

    SEDIMENTATION AND LOADINGS 1. Weir overflow rate = total flow length of weir 2. Surface overflow rate = Influent flow surface area 3. Solids Loading rate = solids applied surface area 4. Efficiency, % = (in) - (out) x (in) 100%

    SEDIMENTATION AND LOADINGS (continued) 5. Organic loading rate (activated sludge) = CBOD applied V 6. Hydraulic loading rate = Q A 7. Centrifuge hydraulic loading: hydraulic loading rate= Q x run time
    run time + skim time

    3. Solids inventory, lbs = (Tank volume, MG) x (solids concentration, mg/L) x (8.34 lbs / gal) 4. Sludge age, days = solids under aeration, lbs. solids added, lbs / day 5. F/M = CBOD applied Organic solids under aeration

    6. MCRT = solids inventory [effluent solids + WAS solids]


    7. Change, WAS rate, MGD = (current solids inventory,lbs) - (desired solids inventory, lbs) WAS, mg/L x 8.34 lbs / gal

    8. Return sludge rate, MGD = (settleable solids, mL) x Q (1,000mL) - (settleable solids, mL) SLUDGE DIGESTION 1. Dry solids, lbs =
