Determine accelaration period in time

Reference no: EM13543451

The 500- bed Lotta Hart Hospital has a small activated sludge plant to treat its wastewater. The average daily hospital discharge is 1200 L/day per bed, and the average soluble BOD5 after primary settling is 500 mg/L. the aeration tank has effective liquid dimensions of 10.0 m wide x 10.0 m long x 4.5 m deep. The plant operating parameters are as follows: MLVSS = 2000 mg/L, MLSS = 1.2 x MLVSS, and return sludge concentration = 12,000 mg/L (VSS). Determine:

a. Aeration Period in hrs

b. F/M ratio
