The plant operators at the Acme WWTP maintains the 10,000 gal aeration basin shown below with a constant 1500mg/L mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS). The suspended solids are separated in a clarifier with recycle of the separated sludge. The recycle flow rate is 5,000 gal per day and 500 gal of recycle are wasted daily. Given that the plant treats 25,000 gals of liquid waste per day and the effluent contains 30 mg/L MLSS, find the solids retention time assuming the system is at steady-state.

A completely mixed activated sludge process is being designed for a wastewater flow of 3 MGD using kinetic equations. The influent BOD of 180 mg/L is essentially all soluble and the design effluent soluble BOD is 10 mg/L. The mean cell residence time is selected to be 8.0 days for sizing the aeration volume tank, and the MLVSS is 2500 mg/L. The kinetic constants from a bench-scale treatability study are Y = 0.60 Ib VSS/Ib BOD and Kd = 0.06 day-1. ---Determine the efficiency of soluble BOD removal. For this, you will have to recognize substrate concentration in the coming flow (So) and the concentration of substrate in the exiting flow (Se).
