    ASSIGNMENT NO. 6: WASTEWATER TREATMENT

    Name: ENVI –
    Baltazar, Daniel Janz A41

    Prepare clean and clear solutions to the following problems.

    1. A wastewater treatment plant will receive a flow of 35,000 m 3/day. Calculate the surface area, diameter, volume and
    hydraulic retention time of a 3 m deep circular, primary clarifier that would remove 50% of the suspended solids. Assume
    the surface overflow rate used for the design is 60 m 3/m2-d.

    Solution:
    Solve for Surface are:

    Q
    Surface Area=
    Surface loading

    35000
    ¿ =583.33m 2
    60

    Solve for diameter:

    π × D2
    Area=

    2 π × D2
    583.44 m =
    4

    D=27,259m

    Solve for Volume:

    V =SA × depth
    V =583.33 m3 ×3
    V =1750 m 3

    Solve for hydraulic retention time:

    t=

    t=

    t=1.2 hr

    2. Wastewater from a peach packaging plant was tested in a pilot activated sludge plant, and the kinetic constants were
    found to be:
    Maximum growth rate factor = 3/d
    Yield = 0.6
    Half saturation constant = 450 mg/L

    The influent BOD is 1,200 mg/L and a flow rate of 19,000 m 3/d is expected. The aerators to be used will limit the
    suspended solids in the aeration tank to 4500 mg/L. The available aeration volume is 5,100 m 3. What efficiency of BOD
    removal can be expected? Suppose we found that the flow rate is actually much higher, say 35,000 m 3/day, and the flow
    is more dilute, S0 = 600 mg/L. What removal efficiency might we expect now? At this flow rate and S 0, suppose we could
    not maintain 4,500 mg/L solids in the aeration tank. If the solids were only 2,000 mg/L and if 90% BOD removal was
    required? How much aeration tank volume would be needed?

    Solution:

    Solve for cell retention time:

    V
    t=

    5100
    t= =0.268 days
    19000

    S= =−2310.810
    3 ×0.268−1 L
    BODr =0 % efficiency

    Solve for t:

    t= =0.1457 days
    35000

    0.145= =q=

    V 2000+120

    V =206,112 m3
    Solve for aeration tank volume:

    V =206,112−5100

    V =201 , 012 m3

    3. A conventional wastewater treatment plant receives 90 L/s with an average BOD of 250 mg/L. The aeration basin is 3,000
    m3. The MLSS is 2,800 mg/L and effluent SS is 25 mg/L. The waste activated sludge is 2 m 3/s from the recycle line. The SS
    of the recycle flow is 9,000 mg/L. What is the food to microorganism ratio?

    Solution:

    Convert L/s to L/day:

    L L
    90 ×86400=7.77 ×106
    s d
    Convert m3 to ft3:
    1ft3=0.0283m3

    3 1 m3 3
    3000 ft × 3
    =84.95 m
