STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Volume of Tank: 9 Cubic Meter --> 9 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
MLSS given Sludge Age: 91200 Milligram per Liter --> 91.2 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Volume of Wasted Sludge per day: 9.5 Cubic Meter per Second --> 9.5 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Concentration of Solids in Returned Sludge: 0.526 Milligram per Liter --> 0.000526 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Peak Sewage Flow: 11.17 Cubic Meter per Second --> 11.17 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Concentration of Solids in Effluent: 10 Milligram per Liter --> 0.01 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

θ_c' = (V*X_sa)/((Q_w*X^R)+(Q_max-Q_w)*X^E) --> (9*91.2)/((9.5*0.000526)+(11.17-9.5)*0.01)

Evaluating ... ...

θ_c' = 37830.1147624096

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

37830.1147624096 Second -->0.437848550490851 Day (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.437848550490851 ≈ 0.437849 Day <-- Sludge Age given Concentration of Solids

What is Sludge Age?

The common range for sludge age for a conventional activated sludge plant is between 3 and 15 days. For extended aeration activated sludge plants the range is between about 15 and 30 days. Generally during the winter months, higher sludge ages are required to maintain a sufficient biological mass.
