Sketch and Discuss the first stage treatment of sludge.
8 Determine the solid loading rate on a secondary circular clarifier (diameter = 20 m) if the plant influent load is 2 ML/d. The recycle flow from secondary clarifier to the activated sludge system (aeration basin) is set to 10% of the influent load. It is also known that the aeration basin produces an MLSS (mixed liquor suspended solids) concentration of 3000 mg/L.
