Click on cell D3 and enter the volume in cum. Click on cell F3 and enter the BOD to the aerobic or anaerobic system in mg/l, Selenium is rare
20 and can be neglected. The values in column (I) are for the indicated feed volume of reactor of 1500 cum and feed raw BOD of 200 mg / L. For
21 other values, it will be prorated. If volume of reactor is 2500 cum and raw BOD is 450 mg/l, Calcium need will be 4.65 * 2500 * 450 / 1500 /
200 = 17.44. These can be added even in shorter intervals than a month if the need arises.
