Problem
A well-mixed activated sludge reactor is oprerated with a flow rate of 1000 gpm(63 L/sec), an influent substrate concentration of 400 mg COD/L and a effluent substrate concentration of 60 mg COD/L. The Monod kinetic constant for the waste are: k0 = 0.4 hr-1 kd = 0.01 hr-1 Km = 100 mg/L Y = 0.5 mg/mg COD Calculate the following quantities : a) Effluent sludge concentration b) reactor volume c) Residence time in hr d) Total sludge in reactor e) Loading in kg COD/day/kg solids

Solution
Assumption 1. Steady state (accumulation = 0) 2. Concentration of cells in the feed stream is negligible From eq (5-15)

340-0,3X = 0 X = 1133,33

..(1)

From eq (5-16)

-x + 0,14X = 0 Substitution eq (1) to eq (2) -x + 0,14 (1133,33) = 0 x = 158,67 mg/l c) substitution eq(3) to eq (2) 158,67 = 1133,33 = 7,14 hr

.(2)

.(3)

b) Calculate the reactor volume V = Q0 = 7,14 hr x 63 l/sec x 3600 (sec/hr) V = 1619,352 m3 V = 4,26 x 105 gal e) From eq (6-6)

U = 7,2 kg COD/day/kg solids
