Penn State’s wastewater treatment plant handles 10 MGD. The influent to the primary clarifier has 400 mg/L solids. The primary clarifier does a great job of removing solids, taking out 27%. The sludge flows at a rate of 0.01 MGD. a. What is the solids concentration of the primary clarifiers sludge? B. What total mass of solids (in kg/year) heads to the landfill from the primary clarifier?

So 3. An activated sludge plant treats 5 MGD and the average influent BOD is 200 mg/L. The WWTP has 2 aeration basins, each 100 ft x 25 ft x 15 ft deep and 2 final clarifiers with diameters of 20 ft. About 35% of BOD is removed in primary clarifiers. Determine the BOD in the primary effluent, hydraulic retention time, F/M ratio, BOD exiting the aeration basin and mass of solids wasted (1b/d).

A wastewater treatment plant, which serves a population of 300,000 people, receives an average daily volume of 24 million gallons per day (MGD) at an average influent 5-day biochemical oxygen demand concentration of 200 mgBODs/L and an average influent total suspended solids concentration of 220 mgTSS/L. The plant operates a primary sedimentation process that remove 65% of the incoming TSS and 35% of the incoming BOD %. This process is followed by a secondary treatment process before discharge to the...
