Steps for Activated Sludge Design

1 E
1. Establish
bli h effluent
ffl soluble
l bl BOD5 allowable
ll bl to meet BOD5 andd SS
effluent limits.
2. Determine what θc is required to meet the effluent soluble BOD5
allowable.
3. Solve for the mixed liquor volatile suspended solids, MLVSS,
concentration given a particular hydraulic residence time, θ. Or
solve for θ given a particular MLVSS.
4 Calculate the return activated sludge (RAS) flow
4. flow, Qr
Qr, and
concentration, Xr'.
5. Calculate sludge production.
yg requirement
6. Calculate oxygen q for carbonaceous BOD removal
(need to calculate O2 requirement for peak flow conditions)
7. Calculate alkalinity consumption
8. Design secondary clarifiers (settling tanks)
