The document calculates the air flow required for an air blower system for a sewage treatment plant. It determines that the biological oxygen demand (BOD) loading is 24 kg based on an 800 mg/L BOD concentration and 30 m3 volume. It then calculates that 48 kg of oxygen is needed to neutralize the BOD, requiring an air flow of 68.25 m3/hr. Adding the 9 m3 needed to mix the collection sump, the total is 77.25 m3/hr. Applying a 10% safety factor results in a required total air flow of 78.15 m3/hr.

BOD Loading : 30 X 800 : 24 Kg To neutralize 1 Kg of BOD requires 2.0 Kgs of O2 For 18 Kg of BOD : 24 X 2.0 : 48 Kg of Oxygen Airflow Required per hr : 48/(24 x 1.203 x 0.232 x 0.5 x 0.21) : 68.25 m3/hr Volume of Collection Sump : 18m3 Mixing Factor : 18 x 50% : 9 m3 Hence the total Air requirement : 68.25 + 9 : 77.25 Safety factor (10%) : 77.25 X 10% Total Air Flow Required : 78.15 m3/hr
