This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

WAS Pumping Rate from Reactor - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - WAS Pumping Rate from Reactor is the total amount of waste activated sludge that comes out from the reactor.
MLSS - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - MLSS is the sum of volatile suspended solids (organics) and fixed suspended solids (inorganics).
Sludge Concentration in Return Line - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Sludge Concentration in Return Line refers to the concentration of suspended solids in the sludge that is being pumped back from the secondary clarifier to the aeration tank.
Average Daily Influent Flow Rate - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Average Daily Influent Flow Rate is the total discharge that comes in the reactor.
Return Activated Sludge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Return Activated Sludge is the portion of settled biomass that is recycled from the secondary clarifier back to the aeration tank in a wastewater treatment process.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

MLSS: 1200 Milligram per Liter --> 1.2 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Sludge Concentration in Return Line: 200 Milligram per Liter --> 0.2 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Average Daily Influent Flow Rate: 1.2 Cubic Meter per Day --> 1.38888888888889E-05 Cubic Meter per Second (Check conversion here)
Return Activated Sludge: 10 Cubic Meter per Day --> 0.000115740740740741 Cubic Meter per Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q_w = ((X/X_r)*(Q_a+RAS))-RAS --> ((1.2/0.2)*(1.38888888888889E-05+0.000115740740740741))-0.000115740740740741

Evaluating ... ...

Q_w = 0.000662037037037038

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.000662037037037038 Cubic Meter per Second -->57.2000000000001 Cubic Meter per Day (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

57.2000000000001 ≈ 57.2 Cubic Meter per Day <-- WAS Pumping Rate from Reactor

What is Aeration Tank?

An Aeration Tank is a critical component in wastewater treatment plants, particularly in the activated sludge process. It is a large, often rectangular or circular, tank where wastewater is mixed with air (or oxygen) to support the growth of aerobic microorganisms. These microorganisms break down organic matter in the wastewater through biological processes.
