Primary clarifier is to be designed for a municipal wastewater treatment plant with a flow of 416...
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 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. Table 5-20 Typical design information for primary sedimentation tanks U.S. customary units Item Unit Range Typical Primary sedimentation tanks followed by secondary treatment...
Secondary Treatment Based on a plant flow rate of 40 mgd, design an activated sludge, secondary treatment system with recycle which maintains a MLVSS = 2,000 mg/L in the aeration reactor and has an average Solids Retention Time (SRT)-4 days. The biota kinetic constants are Kinetic Coefficients for the Activated-sludge Process for the Removal of Organic Matter from Domestic Wastewater Endogenous Decay Coefficient- k(d) 0.1 Half-velocity constant- K(s VSS/qVss-da 15 Mg/L bsCOD Max.

The average flow rate at a small sewage treatment plant is 20,000 m3/d. Design rectangular primary clarifier with a channel width of 6 m. Use minimum two clarifiers, an overflow rate of 40 m3/m2-day and a side water depth of 4 m.
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%...

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
