Homework Answers
Average daily flow rate =Q=1 million gallon /day =1 million gallon/24hours.=1/24 million gallons/ hour
As1 day =24 hours.
Time given =t= 24 hours
Volume needed =V = Q×t = 1/24(Mgal/hrs) × 24 (hrs)
V=1Mgal
Correct answer- C) 1 Mgal

A wastewater treatment plant that treats wastewater to secondary treatment standards uses a primary sedimentation process followed by conventional activated sludge process composed of covered aeration tanks and secondary clarifiers. You are asked to calculate the different operation parameters to make sure that the system is operated within normal process ranges listed in the reference tables below.

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?

1. A circular secondary clarifier (a.k.a. a final clarifier) is to be designed for an activated sludge treatment plant serving a municipality. The state regulatory agency criteria for final clarifiers used for activated sludge are: Peak SOR = 1,200 gal/day-ft2 Average SOR = 500 gal/day-ft2 Peak solids loading 50 lb/day-ft Peak weir loading-30,000 gal/day.ft The average flow to the aeration basin prior to junction with the recycle line is 3.5 MGD ·The recycled sludge flow is 30 percent of the...

A wastewater treatment plant receives an average of 4.5 MGD of wastewater flow. Two rectangular primary clarifiers operating in parallel will treat the flow. If the overflow rate is 700 gpd/ft2 and the depth of the clarifier is 10 ft, Determine: a) the dimensions of each clarifier assuming L:W ratio = 5:1. b) the detention time of each clarifier (in days).

A completely mixed activated sludge plant is designed to treat
10,000 m3/d of an industrial wastewater. The wastewater has a BOD5
of 1200 mg/L. Pilot plant data indicates that a reactor volume of
6090 m3 with an MLSS concentration of 5000 mg/L should produce 83%
BOD5 removal. The value for Y is determined to be 0.7 kg/kg and the
value of kd is found to be 0.03 d–1. Under ow solids concentra-

Describe in detail the function of the wastewater treatment plant components below and what stage of treatment they are (primary, secondary, tertiary) use the lines provided for the second part of this question. For the descriptions use any space on the next page. In the descriptions you must state what is specifically being treated, and if compounds are generated in a particular treatment stage you must describe that as well. In addition, if a particular process has two stages -...

(30 points) A completely mixed activated sludge system comprised of an aerated reactor and a secondary clarifier with sludge return is going to treat 15,000 m/d of industrial wastewater. The primary effluent going to the reactor has a BODs of 1,100 mg/L that must be reduced to 150 mg/L prior to discharge to a municipal sewer. The pilot study was conducted and generated the following results: 3. Mean cell residence time- 5 day, MLSS concentration in the reactor 7.200 mg/L...

2. (40 pts) A wastewater treatment plant has an activated sludge system. The aeration tank is 252 ft long, 25 ft wide, and 18 ft deep. An engineer will model the steady-state performance as first order (k= 8.3 d ?) as a series of 9 equal-volume CFSTRs. The flow rate is 3.1 MGD and the influent BODS is 165 mg/L. a) If the engineer's model is correct, what is the outlet BOD5 concentration (mg/L)? b) If the model is correct,...
