You are provided with the following information about a municipal wastewater treatment plant. A treatment plant uses the traditional activated-sludge process. Assume the microorganisms are 60% efficient at converting food to biomass, the organisms have a first-order death rate constant of 0.06/day, and the microbes reach half of their maximum growth rate when the BOD5 concentration is 10 mg/L. There are 200,000 people in the community (their wastewater production is 225 L/day-capita, 0.1 kg BOD5/capita-day). The effluent standard is BOD5 = 20 mg/L and TSS = 20 mg/L. Suspended solids were measured as 4,000 mg/L in a wastewater sample obtained from the biological reactor, 16,500 mg/L in the secondary sludge, 230 mg/L in the plant influent, and 110 mg/L in the primary clarifier effluent. SRT is equal to 4.5 days. (a) what is the design volume of the aeration basin (m3)?
(b what is the plant’s aeration period (days)?
(c) How many kg of secondary dry solids need to be processed daily from the treatment plants?
(d) if the sludge wastage rate (Qw) is increased in the plant, will the solids retention time go up, go down, or remain the same?
(e) Determine the F/M ratio in units of kg BOD5/kg MLVSS-day.
(f) What is the mean cell residence time?

Amixture of slurry and mud is to be pumped through a horizontal pipe of diameter 500 mm. the fluid behaves as a bingham plastic with a yield stress of 30 pa and viscosity 0.04 pa.s. describe the effects of the shear stress through a transverse section of the pipe by plotting the variation in shear stress and velocity profile: (i) just before the slurry starts to move (ii) as the slurry flows when the pressure gradient is double that in part (i)
