1305 1310 Part A: Engineering APPENDICES APPENDIX 5.7 DESIGN EXAMPLE FOR UPFLOW ANAEROBIC SLUDGE BLANKET REACTOR 1 PROBLEM. Design an upflow sludge blanket reactor for an average flow of S MLD of wastewater with the following data: 1, COD of wastewater 400 mg/l 2. Design hydraulic residence time = 6 hrs 3. Design COD loading = 1-2kg CoDim'd 4, Velocity of rise of wastewater in the reactor through sludge bed = 0.75 mr 5. Velocity of wastewater in settling chamber < 1.5 mbr 6. Flow area covered by cach inlet = 1.2m 2 SOLUTION 2.1 DETERMINE THE DIMENSIONS OF UASBR Volume of UASBR 5,000 * (6/24) 1,250 m? Actual volumetric organic loading = [(5*400)/1,250] kg COD/m'd 1.6 [OK as itis between 1-2 kg COD/m'd] Height of wastewater in reactor Rise velocityHRT 0.756 45m Area of Reactor = [1250/4.5] 277.8 m? Provide two reactors of 11.8 m*11.8 my5.25 m (height) 2.2 NO.OF INLETS Assume that each inlet can serve 2.0 m? of flow area, [138.92]=70 23 AREA OF SETTLING CHAMBER Number of inlets in each reactor Assuming a velocity of 1.2 mvbr in the settling zone Area of settling chamber in each reactor = [5,0001(224%1.2)] = 86.8 m* Final Draft Ast
