Concentration of Sludge in Return Line given RAS Pumping Rate from Aeration Tank Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Sludge Concentration in Return Line = MLSS*(Average Daily Influent Flow Rate+Return Activated Sludge)/(Return Activated Sludge+WAS Pumping Rate from Return Line)
X_r = X*(Q_a+RAS)/(RAS+Q_w')
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Sludge Concentration in Return Line - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Sludge Concentration in Return Line refers to the concentration of suspended solids in the sludge that is being pumped back from the secondary clarifier to the aeration tank.
MLSS - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - MLSS is the sum of volatile suspended solids (organics) and fixed suspended solids (inorganics).
Average Daily Influent Flow Rate - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Average Daily Influent Flow Rate is the total discharge that comes in the reactor.
Return Activated Sludge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Return Activated Sludge is the portion of settled biomass that is recycled from the secondary clarifier back to the aeration tank in a wastewater treatment process.
WAS Pumping Rate from Return Line - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - WAS Pumping Rate from Return Line is the flow rate of waste sludge from the return line.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

MLSS: 1200 Milligram per Liter --> 1.2 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Average Daily Influent Flow Rate: 1.2 Cubic Meter per Day --> 1.38888888888889E-05 Cubic Meter per Second (Check conversion here)
Return Activated Sludge: 10 Cubic Meter per Day --> 0.000115740740740741 Cubic Meter per Second (Check conversion here)
WAS Pumping Rate from Return Line: 400 Cubic Meter per Day --> 0.00462962962962963 Cubic Meter per Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

X_r = X*(Q_a+RAS)/(RAS+Q_w') --> 1.2*(1.38888888888889E-05+0.000115740740740741)/(0.000115740740740741+0.00462962962962963)

Evaluating ... ...

X_r = 0.0327804878048781

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0327804878048781 Kilogram per Cubic Meter -->32.7804878048781 Milligram per Liter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

32.7804878048781 ≈ 32.78049 Milligram per Liter <-- Sludge Concentration in Return Line
