This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Sludge Age given MLSS - (Measured in Second) - Sludge Age given MLSS is the average length of time that solids (or sludge) remain in the treatment system before being removed, considering MLSS.
Volume of Tank - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Tank is defined as the capacity of flocculation and mixing tank.
Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids is the concentration of suspended solids in the mixed liquor of an aeration tank during the activated sludge process.
Volume of Wasted Sludge per day - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Volume of Wasted Sludge per day is the amount of sludge that is removed from a wastewater treatment process within a 24-hour period.
Concentration of Solids in Returned Sludge - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Concentration of Solids in Returned Sludge is the density of solid particles present in the sludge that is returned from the secondary settling tanks to the aeration tank.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Volume of Tank: 9 Cubic Meter --> 9 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids: 1200 Milligram per Liter --> 1.2 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)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

θ_c'' = (V*X^')/(Q_w*X^R) --> (9*1.2)/(9.5*0.000526)

Evaluating ... ...

θ_c'' = 2161.29677806684

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2161.29677806684 Second -->0.0250150090054032 Day (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.0250150090054032 ≈ 0.025015 Day <-- Sludge Age given MLSS
