Activated Sludge Waste Water Treatment Calculations - S.I.

units
1. Aeration Tank Design
Inputs
Prim. Effl. Flow Rate, Qo = 38,000 m3/d

Calculations
( Design Based on Volumetric Loading ) Aeration tank volume, V = m3

Prim. Effl. BOD, So =

150

g/m3

11,400

Aeration tank MLSS, X =

2000

g/m3

Check on other design parameters:

Design Vol. Loading, VL = (kg BOD/day/m3)

0.5

Aeration tank HRT =

7.2

hr

Aeration tank F:M = % volatile MLSS, %Vol = 75% (kg BOD/day/kg MLVSS)

0.33

Equations used for Calculations: V = (So*Qo/1000)/VL HRT = 24*VMG/Qo F:M = (So*Qo)/(%Vol*X*VMG)
