STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Concentration of Solids given MLSS = (Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids*Volume of Tank)/(Volume of Wasted Sludge per day*Sludge Age)
X_Em = (X^'*V)/(Q_w*θ_c)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Concentration of Solids given MLSS - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Concentration of Solids given MLSS is the density of solid particles present in the sludge that is returned from the secondary settling tanks to the aeration tank, considering MLSS.
Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids is the concentration of suspended solids in the mixed liquor of an aeration tank during the activated sludge process.
Volume of Tank - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Tank is defined as the capacity of flocculation and mixing tank.
Volume of Wasted Sludge per day - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Volume of Wasted Sludge per day is the amount of sludge that is removed from a wastewater treatment process within a 24-hour period.
Sludge Age - (Measured in Second) - Sludge Age is the average time for which the particle of suspended solids remains in aeration.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids: 1200 Milligram per Liter --> 1.2 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Volume of Tank: 9 Cubic Meter --> 9 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Volume of Wasted Sludge per day: 9.5 Cubic Meter per Second --> 9.5 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Sludge Age: 5 Day --> 432000 Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

X_Em = (X^'*V)/(Q_w*θ_c) --> (1.2*9)/(9.5*432000)

Evaluating ... ...

X_Em = 2.63157894736842E-06

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.63157894736842E-06 Kilogram per Cubic Meter -->0.00263157894736842 Milligram per Liter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.00263157894736842 ≈ 0.002632 Milligram per Liter <-- Concentration of Solids given MLSS
