Question
A complete-mixed activated sludge process (CMAS) is to be designed to treat 6.0 MGD of primary
effluent having a BOD5 of 190 mg/L. The requirement is that the effluent BOD5 and TSS
concentrations be 20 mg/L or less on an annual average basis. The following biokinetic coefficient
obtained at 15°C: Y = 0.6 mg VSS/mg BOD5, k = 2.85 d-1, Ks = 70 mg/L BOD5, and kd = 0.041 d-1.
Assume that the MLVSS concentration in the aeration basin is maintained at 2,500 mg/L. Determine:
a. The minimum MCRT (d)
b. The MCRT necessary to meet the requirement (d)
c. The volume of the aeration basin (ft3)
