- Design a completely-mixed activated sludge process using three different design approaches (i.e., calculate the volume of the aeration basin). Base your design for the first approach on detention time, the second one on BOD loading, and the third one on kinetics. The influent design flow rate to the activated sludge process is 10,000m3/ day with a BOD5? concentration of 200mg/L. Completely-mixed activated sludge processes typically have detention times ranging from 3 to 6 hours and biokinetic coefficients (Reynolds and Richards, 1996) used in design are: Y=0.6mgVSS/mgBOD5?,k=3d?1,KS?=60mg/L, and kd?=0.06d?1. Use a MCRT =10 days and X=2,500mg/L VSS.
First Approach:Based on detention timeGiven detention time t= 3 to 6 hoursLets assume t= 4.5 hourswe know that, Discharge = Volume of tank / detention time so , Volume of detention tank, V = Q*t = 10000*(4.5/24)Discharge Q = 10000m3/day , detention time t= 4.5 hours = 1875 m3
