Sludge calculations

DAILY SLUDGE PRODUCTION OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT



Terms used & their notation
  • Q  -      Wastewater flow rate (m3/d) (Influent flowrate)
  • So  -      Influent Soluble Substrate Concentration (BOD or bsCOD g/m3)
  • S   -      Effluent Soluble Substrate Concentration
  • Xo,i -   nbVSS concentration in effluent (g/m3 or mg/l)
  • iTSS -   inert inorganic Total Suspended Solids (g/m3)
  • XT    -  Total MLVSS concentration (g/m3 or mg/l)
  • SRT  -   Sedimentation Retention Time (d)
  • VSSo - Influent Volatile Suspended Solids
  • Px,T, TSS - Daily Sludge production kg TSS/d
    Px,T, VSS - Daily Sludge production kg VSS/d
  • Kinetic coefficients
    • k - maximum rate of soluble substrate utilization (g COD/g . d)
    • y - biomass yield (g VSS/g COD)
    • kd - endogenous decay coefficient (g VSS/g VSS . d)
    • ks - half velocity constant (g COD/m3)
    • fd - fraction of cell mass that remains as cell debries (g VSS/g VSS)

CASE STUDY
  • Q = 1000 m3/d
  • So = 192 BOD or bsCOD g/m3
  • Xo, i = 30 g/m3
  • iTSS = 10 g.m3
  • XT = 2500 g/m3
  • SRT = 6 d
  • k = 12.5 g COD/g . d
  • y = 0.4 g VSS/g COD
  • kd = 0.1 g VSS/G VSS . d
  • ks = 1 g COD/m3
  • fd = 0.15 g VSS/g VSS
DAILY SLUDGE PRODUCTION 
Px, T, VSS = 82.17  kg VSS/d
