- You have been treating a wastewater with bacteria that have the following kinetic coefficients: k= 16 mg BODL/mg VSS-day Ks = 10 mg BODL/1 b =0.2/day Y = 0.35 mg VSS/mg BODL fa=0.8 A genetic engineer comes to you and claims he can "fix" your bacteria so they are more efficient. The fixed bacteria will have b=0.05/day and fa= 0.95, while all other coefficients are the same. Using a chemostat reactor, you were successfully using a safety factor of 30, and you plant to continue doing so. How would the genetic engineers plan affect your sludge production and oxygen requirements? Assume Xº=0, Sº=200 mg BODL/1).
