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?

A flow of 2.6 med leaves a primary clarifier with a BOD of 131 mg/L. Determine the sludge age of the facility given the following data: aeration tank volume is 2300 m, MLSS concentration is 2100 mg/L, efluent suspended solids are equal to 20 mg/L, and the mass rate of wasted solids is equal to 44 percent of the BOD load.

A coagulation process has a design flow of 0.75 m3/s and is dosing alum at 35 mg/L. clay is also added at 14 mg/L as an additive to help the coagulation process. The influent suspended solids is 55 mg/L and the effluent is 8 mg/L. The sludge solids content is 2.5% and the specific gravity of the sludge solids is 3.5. What is the volume of sludge to be removed in one week? In one year?

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, 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...

A Tapered aeration-system is used to treat 12,500 m3/d of municipal wastewater. The wastewater has received primary treatment and has a BOD 5 of 140 mg/l and a suspended solids of 125 mg/l. The system is to be operated in the following way: (a) Soluble BOD 5 in effluent 5 mg/l (b) Average solids concentration in the reactor= 2000 mg/l (c) Mean cell- retention time= 10 d. The biological constants have been determined by pilot-plant analysis and are: Y= 0.55...

2. [20] A small town has been directed to upgrade its primary wastewater treatment plant to a secondary plant that can meet an effluent standard of 25.0 mg/L BODs and 30.0 mg/L suspended solids. They have selected a completely mixed activated sludge system. The following data are available from the existing primary plant. Existing plant effluent characteristics Flow = 0.2000 m 3/s soluble BODs-80 mg/L Assume that the BOD5 of the suspended solids may be estimated as equal to 50%...
