Vh = horizontal velocity of the particles.
B = Width of the grit removal.
H= hight if grit removal.
2. Vv =

Where:
Vo = overflow rate m3/m2.d
2) t=24*(V/Q)
Where :
V = P.S.T volume, m3
Design step:
1) Calculate Qpeack = Qavg. * P.F
P.F = 1.6
Qpeak = 50294 m3/d
2) Assume removal efficiency of P.S.T = 60%.

Activated Sludge
Definition of aerobic treatment:
It is the biological treatment in which the organic matter is digested and
stabilized by aerobic bacteria in the presence of molecular oxygen “O2”.
- TKN-Load
- SS-Load
- Flow rate (Q+Qr)
- HRT (hydraulic retention time).
2- Parameters to identify bacteria concentration :
- MLSS kg/m3 (typically value 2 – 5 kg/m3)
- MLVSS kg /m3
- Organic fraction = MLVSS/MLSS = 70 – 80%.
- F/M ratio: food (kg BOD) to bacteria (kg MLSS) ratio
typically (0.15 – 0.2 )
3- Settling parameters :
- SVI: Sludge volume index.
- SVI = SV (ml/l)/MLSS (g/l),
Where, SVI = the volume of 1 gram MLSS after 30 min . in imhof cone.
4- Return sludge:
- R = Sa / (Sr-Sa)
- Sa =MLSS kg/m3 in A.T
- Sr = MLSS kg/m3 (return sludge)
- Sr = 1000 /SVI kg/m3
- R = fraction of Q
Design steps:
1) Calculate Qdesign
It was calculated in the previous project
Qdesign = 78550 m3/day
2) Calculate BOD Load:
BOD (total) in system = 494+0.5 * 853 = 920.5 mg/l.
BOD interring A.T = 0.65 * 920.5 = 598.3 mg/l.
BOD load to the A.T = 78550* 598.3 * 103 * 10-6 = 47000 kg
BOD/day.
3) Calculate volume of A.T:
We assume ( F/M = 0.15)
V = 47000 / (4*0.15) =78333.3 m3
NOW, CALCULATE SURFACE AREA OF A.T:
Assume depth = 4.5 m
surface area of A.T = Volume/depth = 78333.3 /4.5 = 17407.4 m2
Use A.T with “ 4 “ compartments
Width = 4 * 5= 20 m.
Length of each A.T = area / width = 17407.4 / 20 = 871 m.
Flow
A.T
Plug flow
USE 5 A.T each has volume = 78333.3 / 5 =15666.6 m3
Area of each A.T = 17407.4 / 5 = 4351.85 m2
SO, length of each A.T = 4351.85 / 20 = 217.6 m
L = 217.6 m
W = 4 *5 = 20 m
D = 4.5 m
in here, T = 21 Co
( ) = 3.05*(1.127)20-21 = 2.7days
Excess sludge = 313333.2 /2.7 = 115780 kg (dry) solid/m3.

Design Criteria:
1) Over flow rate < 32 m3/m2.day for Qdesign > 6000 m3/day
2) Minimum side water depth = 2.1 m
Design equation:
1) Vo = Q / A
Where:
Vo = overflow rate m3/m2.d
Q = average daily flow (m3/d (
A = total surface area of basin
2) t=24*(V/Q)
Where :
t = detention time (hours).
V = basin volume, m3
Q = average daily flow m3/d
3) t=24*H/Vo
Where:
t = detention time, hr
H = depth of water in tank, m
Vo = overflow rate m3/m2.d
Design steps:
1) Qmax = 87550 m3/d > 6000
