Sludge Age Effects on Wastewater Treatment

The document outlines a homework assignment focused on calculating various parameters related to sludge age in activated sludge systems treating wastewater. It specifies the need to draw graphs for net yield coefficient, effluent concentrations, sludge production components, sludge mass, active fraction of sludge, and oxygen requirement, all against sludge age. The assignment includes specific values for parameters and a note on the range for sludge age to be considered in the graphs.

HOMEWORK 2

Calculate the variations of the parameters asked with sludge age in an activated sludge
systems treating the wastewater where the characteristics are given below.

Draw the graphs:

a) Net yield coefficient (YNH) vs Sludge Age (X)


b) Effluent soluble biodegradable COD, and ST=S+SI concentrations vs Sludge Age (X)
c) 3 components of sludge production seperately (PXH+PXE+PXI ) and Total Sludge production
(PXT= PXH+PXE+PXI) for unit wastewater flows vs Sludge Age (X)
d) The sludge mass which can be sustained in the reactor (MX=PX. X) for unit wastewater
flow (for 3 sludge components and total) vs Sludge Age (X)
e) Active fraction of the sludge (PXH/ PXT ) vs Sludge Age (X)
f) Oxygen Requirement of the system vs Sludge Age (X)

Comment on the results.

μ̂ =3 d-1, KS=40 mg/l COD, YH=0.45 g VSS/g COD, bH=0.20 d-1, fE=0.2
Total COD=500 mg/l, SI1=30 mg/l XI1=70 mg/l

Note: For the graphs, the range for sludge for the graphs is between 4-20 days:
