A wastewater treatment plant uses an activated sludge process to treat 0.2 m3/s of primary effluent. The concentration of the mixed liquor is 2,000 mg/L MLVSS (Mixed liquor volatile suspended solids), while the RAS (recycled activated sludge) concentration is 10,000 mg/L MLVSS. The substrate concentration in the primary effluent is 210 mg/L BOD5. The F/M ratio is 0.5 mg BOD5/(mg MLVSS-d) and the solids retention time is 8.5 d.  What is the volume of the activated sludge tank?  2.What is the WAS (waste activated sludge) flowrate?  3.What is the flowrate of the secondary treated effluent?  4.What is the RAS (recycled activated sludge) flowrate?  5.What is the hydraulic residence time for the activated sludge tank?

Integrated Solid Waste Management

Integrated Solid Waste Management (ISWM) is a thorough waste suppression, compost, removal and recycling Program. An effective ISWM system considers how to suppress, manage and recycle solid waste in a manner that is most efficiently to protect human health and the surrounding. ISWM system requires evaluation of public wants and demands and then selecting and merging the most effective waste management activities for the proposed demands. The main ISWM activities for solid waste management are Waste prevention, Recycling and Composting, and Combustion and Removal and waste collection in a properly planned, constructed, managed and mitigated landfill areas. Each of these requires careful designing, financing, accumulation, and delivery of activities.
