Anoxic tank

DENITRIFICATION
Flow, m3/d = 8880
Nitrates to be reduced, mg/l = 109

Dissolved oxygen, mg/l (DO) = 0.1


Wastewater temperature, degree C = 25
Effluent nitrate concentration, mg/l = 15

Total Nitrates to be reduced AT -1


Overall recycle ratio =
NO3.Nout
= 6.27
Carbon source = Raw sewage
De nitrification rate, g NO3-N/Kg VSS.Hr = 1.5 to 2
= 1.8 (Say) (as per water leau data for RIPL)
Overall denitrification rate, g NO3-N/Kg VSS.Hr (UDN) = De nitrification rate * (1.09(Temp-20))*(1-DO)
= 2.5
Mixed liquor suspended solids in anoxic tank, mg/l = 3000
MLVSS to MLSS ratio = 0.8
Mixed liquor volatile suspended solids in anoxic tank, mg/l = 2400
Hydraulic retention time, hrs = 18.22
Volume of denitrification tank, m3 = 6741.70

Alkalinity generated in denitrification = 3.57 mg/l as CaCO3 per mg/l NO3-N denitrified
= 389.13 mg/l as CaCO3

Denitrification mixer:

Mixing energy required (max), w/m3 = 12 (8 to 13 w/m3)


Mixing energy required (max), kW = 80.90
