How to Calculate Mean Cell Residence Time given Reactor Volume?
Mean Cell Residence Time given Reactor Volume calculator uses Mean Cell Residence Time = (Reactor Volume*MLVSS)/(Average Daily Influent Flow Rate*Maximum Yield Coefficient*(Influent Substrate Concentration-Effluent Substrate Concentration)-(Reactor Volume*MLVSS*Endogenous Decay Coefficient)) to calculate the Mean Cell Residence Time, Mean Cell Residence Time given Reactor Volume is the average time that the sludge remains in the reactor (sludge age). For a complete-mix activated sludge process ranges from 5 to 15 days. Mean Cell Residence Time is denoted by θc symbol.
How to calculate Mean Cell Residence Time given Reactor Volume using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Mean Cell Residence Time given Reactor Volume, enter Reactor Volume (V), MLVSS (Xa), Average Daily Influent Flow Rate (Qa), Maximum Yield Coefficient (Y), Influent Substrate Concentration (So), Effluent Substrate Concentration (S) & Endogenous Decay Coefficient (kd) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Mean Cell Residence Time given Reactor Volume calculation can be explained with given input values -> 7.4E-5 = (1000*2.5)/(1.38888888888889E-05*0.5*(0.025-0.015)-(1000*2.5*5.78703703703704E-07)).
