Develop an estimate of the volumetric flow rate of air that


Develop an estimate of the volumetric flow rate of air that will be required for aeration of the mixed liquor in an activated sludge system.For this calculation, assume that the (ultimate) CBOD is 200 mg/L and (ultimate) NBOD is 50 mg/L. For purposes of this problem, assume that these two sources of oxygen demand are completely satisfied in the activated sludge system (i.e., assume that all CBOD and NBOD are completely "consumed" by the aerobic bacteria in the aeration basins). Assume an oxygen (O2) transfer efficiency of 25% from the aeration system in the aeration basins. Based on these characteristics, what volume of air will we need to pump through our aeration basins each day to satisfy this oxygen demand?
