Plug-Flow reactor
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 Kg biomass/ Kg BOD utilized and k 0= 0.55 /d.
(a) Determine the length of the reactor if it is 5 m wide and 5 m deep.
(b) Assume an effluent suspended- solids concentration of 30 mg/l; the BOD 5 of the solids is 0.65 mg BOD/ 1.0 mg SS. Determine the total BOD in the effluent.

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...
Completely Mixed Reactor
An oxidation-ditch activated-sludge system receives 17 500 m3/d ofmunicipal wastewater. The BOD of the wastewater is 210 mg/L and no primary treatment is provided. The oxidation-ditch is 3 m deep, 7 m wide and 400 m long.
