Sludge Age given Endogenous Respiration Rate Constant Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Sludge Age given Endogenous Constant = (1/((Maximum Yield Coefficient*Specific Substrate Utilization Rate)-Endogenous Respiration Constant))
θ_ce = (1/((Y*U)-K_e))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Sludge Age given Endogenous Constant - (Measured in Second) - Sludge Age given Endogenous Constant is the average length of time that solids (or sludge) remain in the treatment system before being removed, given endogenous rate constant.
Maximum Yield Coefficient - Maximum Yield Coefficient is the maximum mg of cells produced per mg organic matter removed.
Specific Substrate Utilization Rate - (Measured in 1 Per Second) - Specific Substrate Utilization Rate is the rate at which a microbial population consumes a substrate per unit of biomass present.
Endogenous Respiration Constant - (Measured in 1 Per Second) - Endogenous Respiration Constant is a rate constant that represents the rate of oxygen consumption due to the endogenous respiration of microorganisms in a biological treatment process.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Yield Coefficient: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required
Specific Substrate Utilization Rate: 0.5 1 Per Second --> 0.5 1 Per Second No Conversion Required
Endogenous Respiration Constant: 21599 1 Per Day --> 0.249988425925926 1 Per Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

θ_ce = (1/((Y*U)-K_e)) --> (1/((0.5*0.5)-0.249988425925926))

Evaluating ... ...

θ_ce = 86400.00000047

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

86400.00000047 Second -->1.00000000000544 Day (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

1.00000000000544 ≈ 1 Day <-- Sludge Age given Endogenous Constant

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.
