A lime softening sludge flow of 30,000 gpd is gravity thickened from 2.0% to 5.0% in a mechanical gravity thickener. The gravity thickener is to be designed using a solids loading rate of 10 lb/(ft2⋅d) and a solids capture of 85%. Assume that the thickener has a side water depth (SWD) of 10 ft, an … Read more

A complete-mix activated sludge process (CMAS) is to be designed to treat 5.0 million gallons per day (MGD) of primary effluent having a BOD5 of 180 mg/L. The NPDES permit requires that the effluent BOD5 and TSS concentrations should be 20 mg/L or less on an annual average basis. The following biokinetic coefficients obtained at … Read more

Design a fine-bubble diffused aeration system to meet an oxygen demand of 5,000 kg/d. The plant is located at an elevation of 610 meters (2,000 ft). There are two aeration basins with a total volume equal to 5,400 m3. Assume the alpha and beta coefficients for the diffusers are 0.35 and 0.95, respectively and use … Read more

A two-stage high-rate trickling filter with 200% recycle will be used to treat 5.0 million gallons per day (MGD). The influent BOD to the primary clarifier is 225 mg/L and the primary removes 30% of the incoming BOD. The effluent BOD should be 20 mg/L or less. Assume that the design BOD loading to the … Read more

A two-stage high-rate trickling filter with 100% recycle will be used to treat 5,000 m3/d. The influent BOD to the primary clarifier is 220 mg/L and the primary removes 33% of the incoming BOD. The effluent BOD should be 20 mg/L or less. Assume that the design BOD loading to the trickling filter system is … Read more

Two biotowers operating in parallel are to be designed to treat a flow of 16,000 m3/d. The BOD5 in the influent to the primary clarifier is 200 mg/L and the clarifier removes 35% of the BOD5. The minimum wastewater temperature is expected to be 14∘C. The value of k is assumed to be 0.210 (Lps)0.5/m2 at 20∘C … Read more
