Mass of Wasted Activated Sludge Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Mass of Wasted Activated Sludge = (Maximum Yield Coefficient*Sewage Discharge*(Influent BOD-Effluent BOD))-(Endogenous Respiration Rate Constant*Volume of Tank*Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids)
M_ws = (Y*Q_s*(Q_i-Q_o))-(K^e*V*X^')
This formula uses 8 Variables

Variables Used

Mass of Wasted Activated Sludge - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass of Wasted Activated Sludge is the total mass of sludge that is removed from the wastewater treatment process, specifically from the activated sludge system.
Maximum Yield Coefficient - Maximum Yield Coefficient is the maximum mg of cells produced per mg organic matter removed.
Sewage Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Sewage Discharge is the flow rate of sewage when it is being discharged in the river.
Influent BOD - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Influent BOD is the total amount of BOD which is present in the incoming sewage.
Effluent BOD - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Effluent BOD is the amount of BOD present in the outing sewage.
Endogenous Respiration Rate Constant - (Measured in 1 Per Second) - Endogenous Respiration Rate Constant is used for designing a complete-mix activated-sludge system.
Volume of Tank - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Tank is defined as the capacity of flocculation and mixing tank.
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.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Yield Coefficient: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required
Sewage Discharge: 10 Cubic Meter per Second --> 10 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Influent BOD: 11.2 Milligram per Liter --> 0.0112 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Effluent BOD: 0.4 Milligram per Liter --> 0.0004 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Endogenous Respiration Rate Constant: 2.99 1 Per Day --> 3.46064814814815E-05 1 Per Second (Check conversion here)
Volume of Tank: 9 Cubic Meter --> 9 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids: 1200 Milligram per Liter --> 1.2 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

M_ws = (Y*Q_s*(Q_i-Q_o))-(K^e*V*X^') --> (0.5*10*(0.0112-0.0004))-(3.46064814814815E-05*9*1.2)

Evaluating ... ...

M_ws = 0.05362625

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.05362625 Kilogram -->53626.25 Milligram (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

53626.25 Milligram <-- Mass of Wasted Activated Sludge
