An activated sludge plant (CSTR w/ recycle) has the following characteristics: Influent substrate concentration, So = 400 mg/L BODL (all soluble); influent VSS, Xvº = 0; effluent 3 substrate concentration, S = 10 mg/L BODL; flow rate, Q = 1000 m³/day; aeration basin volume, V = 200 m³; reactor MLVSS, Xy = 4,280 mg/L; average, steady-state oxygen uptake rate, Oxygen uptake rate (OUR) = 0.3 mg 02/L-min. The biomass viability (i.e., v = Xa/Xv) was measured using the oxygen uptake rate (OUR) technique and found equal to 0.926. An aliquot of mixed liquor was placed in a small reactor, aerated without any exogenous substrate addition (i.e., starvation conditions) and it's OUR was measured over time resulting in the following data: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 10 Time (days) OUR (mg 02/L-min) 0.3 0.274 0.243 0.222 0.203 0.182 0.165 0.135 0.110 By use of the above data, the microorganism decay coefficient (b, day) can be estimated if you assume that a constant relationship exists between Xa and OUR, i.e., OUR = a Xa, where a = proportionality constant (g O2/g Xa - min). 1. Estimate b (1/d) by using the above data (Use regression). 2. Calculate the solids retention time for this plant. 3. Calculate the net biodegradable fraction of the viable biomass (fd).

Transcribed Image Text:An activated sludge plant (CSTR w/ recycle) has the following characteristics: Influent
substrate concentration, So = 400 mg/L BODL (all soluble); influent VSS, Xyº = 0; effluent

substrate concentration, S = 10 mg/L BODL; flow rate, Q = 1000 m³/day; aeration basin
3
volume, V = 200 m³; reactor MLVSS, Xv = 4,280 mg/L; average, steady-state oxygen
uptake rate, Oxygen uptake rate (OUR) = 0.3 mg 02/L-min. The biomass viability (i.e., v =
Xa/Xv) was measured using the oxygen uptake rate (OUR) technique and found equal to
0.926. An aliquot of mixed liquor was placed in a small reactor, aerated without any
exogenous substrate addition (i.e., starvation conditions) and it's OUR was measured over
time resulting in the following data:

By use of the above data, the microorganism decay coefficient (b, day can be estimated if
you assume that a constant relationship exists between Xa and OUR, i.e., OUR = a Xa, where
a = proportionality constant (g O2/g Xa - min).
1. Estimate b (1/d) by using the above data (Use regression).
2. Calculate the solids retention time for this plant.
3. Calculate the net biodegradable fraction of the viable biomass (fd).
