1. Aeration Tank Design

Inputs Calculations

Prim. Effl. Flow Rate, Qo = 200 m3/d ( Design Based on Volumetric Loading )

Prim. Effl. BOD, So = 150 g/m3 Aeration tank volume, V = 60 m3

Aeration tank MLSS, X = 2000 g/m3 Check on other design parameters:

Design Vol. Loading, VL = 0.5 Aeration tank HRT = 7.2 hr

(kg BOD/day/m3)
Aeration tank F:M = 0.33
% volatile MLSS, %Vol = 75% (kg BOD/day/kg MLVSS)

Equations used for Calculations:

V = (So*Qo/1000)/VL

HRT = 24*VMG/Qo

F:M = (So*Qo)/(%Vol*X*VMG)
