Maximum Solids given Solid Loading Rate Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Solids = Surface Area*Solid Loading Rate
S_max = SA*SL_r
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Maximum Solids - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Maximum Solids refer to the highest concentration of suspended particulates in a given system, such as a wastewater treatment tank.
Surface Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Surface Area is the horizontal area available for sedimentation, impacting the tank's capacity to separate solids, typically measured in square meters (m²).
Solid Loading Rate - (Measured in Kilogram per Second Square Meter) - Solid Loading Rate is the amount of solids applied per unit area of a treatment process, such as a clarifier, typically measured in kilograms per square meter per day (kg/m²/day).

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Surface Area: 4 Square Meter --> 4 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Solid Loading Rate: 20 kilogram per Day Square Meter --> 0.000231481481481481 Kilogram per Second Square Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S_max = SA*SL_r --> 4*0.000231481481481481

Evaluating ... ...

S_max = 0.000925925925925924

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.000925925925925924 Kilogram per Second -->79.9999999999998 Kilogram per Day (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

79.9999999999998 ≈ 80 Kilogram per Day <-- Maximum Solids

Maximum Solids given Solid Loading Rate Formula

LaTeX Go

Maximum Solids = Surface Area*Solid Loading Rate
S_max = SA*SL_r

What is Solid Loading Rate?

Solid Loading Rate (SLR) SLR is the number of solids per day that can be removed per square foot of surface area by a clarifier (lbs/day/ft²). If the SLR increases above the design limits of the clarifier, there will be an increase in effluent solids.

How to Calculate Maximum Solids given Solid Loading Rate?

Maximum Solids given Solid Loading Rate calculator uses Maximum Solids = Surface Area*Solid Loading Rate to calculate the Maximum Solids, The Maximum Solids given Solid Loading Rate is defined as the highest concentration of suspended or settled solids allowed within the tank while maintaining effective operation. Maximum Solids is denoted by S_max symbol.

How to calculate Maximum Solids given Solid Loading Rate using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Maximum Solids given Solid Loading Rate, enter Surface Area (SA) & Solid Loading Rate (SL_r) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Maximum Solids given Solid Loading Rate calculation can be explained with given input values -> 6.9E+6 = 4*0.000231481481481481.
