Circular clarifiers are used to remove solid materials from water. They allow continuous treatment of water and can handle fairly large flows. Solids settle to the bottom of the clarifier and are carried away by a small stream of water (the waste stream). Most of the water exits the tank as treated effluent. Assume a

Example (Activated Sludge Process) - Completely Mixed with Recycle A completely mixed activated sludge process, treating a municipal wastewater, has a primary clarifier effluent BOD, of 135 mg/L. The design MLSS is 3590 mg/L, and the MLVSS is 80% of the MLSS. The plant permit is for an effluent BOD, of 20 mg/L and 20 mg/L suspended solids. The effluent suspended solids have a BOD, of 0.65 mg BOD, / mg suspended solids. The underflow solid concentration (MLVSS) is 10,000 mg/L. If umax = 3.0 day, Ks 60 mg/L, Y= 0.50 mg MLVSS / mg BOD, removed, ka= 0.1 day, and the influent flow is 0.25 m/sec, determine the following: 1. The required reactor detention time, 0. 2. The reactor basin volume, V, in m³. 3. The net waste activated sludge produced each day (kg/day). 4. The mass of solids (both volatile and inert) to be wasted each day (kg/day).

6. A tertiary treatment plant treats a municipal secondary effluent and is to employ fixed-bed carbon adsorption columns. Parallel treatment using two rows of two columns in series (in other words, a total of four columns) will be used. From batch-type slurry tests it has been found that 0.42 g COD/g carbon is adsorbed when Ce = Co. Pertinent data are as follows: flow = 5700 m³/d, COD in feed to carbon columns = 20 mg/L, contact time function based on an empty carbon bed = 30 min, and unit liquid flow rate= = 4.4 L/s-m². Each column is kept on-line until the entire mass of carbon in the column is completely exhausted. Determine: The volume of each column, m³. a. b. Page 2 of 3 C. d. e. The diameter and height of each column, m. The mass of carbon in each column if the packed density is 400 kg/m³. The kilograms of carbon exhausted per day if the COD removed is assumed to be 98%. The on-line time for each of the columns.
You have designed a treatment system for contaminant Z. The treatment system consists of two parts: (1) a pipe with a volume of 15 m3 and (2) a CSTR has a volume of 60 m3. The pipe feeds into the CSTR. The inflow to the pipe is 10 m3/d and the influent Z concentration at the start of the pipe is 2,500 mg/L. The effluent from the pipe has a Z concentration of 1500 mg/L. Assume the reaction is first order. What is the reaction rate constant in units of (1/day)?

Waste activated sludge can be described as a Newtonian fluid with a kinematic viscosity of 20 x 10 ft/sec. At the same temperature, the kinematic viscosity v of water is 10 ft/sec. The relative roughness of the piping system is 0.001. The pressure drop for flow of water at a Reynolds number of 10' in this piping system was determined to be 1.0 psi. If waste activated sludge flows at the same velocity through the piping" system, the pressure drop (psi) is most nearly:
