C5 = A5 / B5 F5 = D5 / E5 K5 = G5 / 0.6 x IF (J5 < 1; J5 x 0.3; IF (J5 < 3; (J5 - 1) x 0.1/2 + 0.3; IF (J5 < 30; (J5 - 3) x 0,15 / 27 + 0.4;0.55))) The formula relates to Picture 10_6. The number 0.6 is a correction factor based on practical experience. A11 = K5 x A12 B11 = D5 x (1 - K5) C11 = E5 x (1 - A11) D11 = B11 / C11 E11 = IF ( J23 < 8;1; IF (J23 < 15;1 - (J23 - 8) x 0.18 / 7; 0,82 - (J23 - 15) x 0.9 / 5)) The formula relates to Picture 10_13. F11 = IF (B11 < 2000; B11 x 0.17 / 2000 + 0.87; IF (B11 < 3000; (B11 - 2000) x 0.02 / 1000 + 1.04; 1.06)) The formula relates to Picture 10_14.

J11 = IF (J17 < 7; E11 x F11 x G11 x H11 x (J17 x 0.04 + 0.82); E11 x F11 x G11 x H11 x 0.98) The formula considers improved treatment by increasing the number of chambers and limiting the treatment efficiency to 98%. K11 = (1 - J11) x B11 A12 = IF (K5 < 0.5; 1.06; IF (K5 < 0.75; (K5 - 0.5) x 0.065 / 0.25 + 1.06; IF (K5 < 0.85; 1.125 - (K5 - 0.75) x 0.1 / 0.1; 1.025))) The formula relates to Picture 10_3.

G17 = IF (A11 > 0; IF (F17 x (E5 - C11) / 1000 x 30 x I5 x A5 + J5 x C5 < 2 x J5 x C5; 2 x J5 x C5; F17 x (E5 - C11) / 1000 x 30 x I5 x A5 + J5 x C5); 0) / D17 / E17 The formula considers that sludge volume is less than half of the total volume; a settler may be omitted. A23 = K17 x 0.5 C23 = C5 / I17 D23 = C23 / B23 F23 = C5 / B23 / E23 H23 =(G23 + B23) x J17 x K17 x E23 I23 = H23 / (A5 / 24) / 105% J23 = B11 x C5 x 24 / H23 / 1000 K23 = (D5 - K11) x A5 x 0.35 / 1000 / 0.7 x 0.5 350l methane are produced from each kg COD removed.
