Assignment

The document provides information to estimate the required volume of an aeration tank for a secondary WWTP. It gives effluent characteristics from an existing primary plant and assumes values for growth constants. It then calculates that with a secondary clarifier producing 30 mg/L SS, the allowable BOD5 would be 11.1 mg/L. Using equations, it determines the mean cell residence time would be 5.01 days and hydraulic detention time would be 1.8 hours.

The town of Gatesville has been directed to upgrade its primary WWTP to a secondary plant that can meet an efflu

Assuming that the BOD5 Of the SS may be estimated as equal to 63% of the SS concentration, estimate the requir

Existing plant effluent characteristics

Flow = 0.150 m3/s


BOD5 = 84.0 mg/L

Assume the following values for the growth constants: KS = 100 mg/L BOD5; µm=2.5 d⎺1; y=0.50 mg VSS/mg

Solution:

Assuming the secondary clarifier can produce an effluent with only


30.0 mg/L SS, we can estimate the allowable soluble BOD5 in the effluent using the
63% assumption from above

S = BOD5 allowed - BOD5 in suspended solids

BOD5 allowed 30 mg/L


BOD5 in SS 63 %
BOD5 in SS 18.9 mg/L
S 11.1 mg/L

The mean cell-residence can be estimated with the following eqn:


S=KS(1+kd�c)/((�c(�m - kd) - 1)
KS = 100 mg/L BOD5
µm = 2.5 d⎺1
kd = 0.05 d⎺1
Y= 0.5 mg VSS/mg, BOD5 removed
Solving for � c
�c = 5.01 d
Assuming a value of 2000 mg/L for the MLVSS, the hydraulic detention time,
X = �c(Y)(SO -S)/�(1+kd�c )
X= 2000 mg/L
S0 = 84 mg/L
�= 0.073 d
