MLSS given Sludge Volume Index and Recirculation Ratio Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

MLSS given Recirculation Ratio = 1/(Sludge Volume Index*(1+Recirculation Ratio))
X' = 1/(SVI*(1+α))
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

MLSS given Recirculation Ratio - (Measured in Milligram per Liter) - MLSS given Recirculation Ratio is the concentration of suspended solids, primarily microorganisms, in the mixed liquor of the aeration tank, considering recirculation ratio.
Sludge Volume Index - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Kilogram) - Sludge Volume Index is the volume occupied by 1 gram of activated sludge after 30 minutes of settling in a 1-liter graduated cylinder. SVI is expressed in milliliters per gram.
Recirculation Ratio - Recirculation Ratio is the ratio of the RAS pumping rate to influent flow rate.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Sludge Volume Index: 150 Milliliter per Gram --> 0.15 Cubic Meter per Kilogram (Check conversion here)
Recirculation Ratio: 1.5 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

X' = 1/(SVI*(1+α)) --> 1/(0.15*(1+1.5))

Evaluating ... ...

X' = 2.66666666666667

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.00266666666666667 Kilogram per Cubic Meter -->2.66666666666667 Milligram per Liter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

2.66666666666667 ≈ 2.666667 Milligram per Liter <-- MLSS given Recirculation Ratio
