    The document provides design calculations for various components of a wastewater treatment system, including: 1) A flash mixing tank with a volume of 1 cubic meter to provide 2.5-5 minutes of hydraulic retention time for a 10 cubic meter per hour flow. 2) A flocculation tank with a volume of 5 cubic meters to provide 15-30 minutes of hydraulic retention time for the same 10 cubic meter per hour flow. 3) A clarifier with a surface area of 10 square meters and volume of 30 cubic meters to treat an average daily flow of 240 cubic meters per day.

    DESIGN CALCULATIONS

    Flash Mixing Tank

    HRT based design – 2.5 minutes to 5 minutes

    Flow – 10 m3/hr

    Tank volume = (10 m3/60) x 5 = 0.833 m3 = say 1m3

    Rule – L = W= D = 1m x 1m x 1m SWD + 0.3 m FB

    FLOCULATION Tank

    HRT based design – 15 minutes to 30 minutes

    Flow – 10 m3/hr

    Tank volume = (10 m3/60) x 30 = 5 m3

    Rule – L = W = 1.5 m x 1.5 m x 2.25 m SWD + 0.3 m FB

    CLARIFIER :

    Rule - 16 – 32 M3/M2/DAY
    FLOW – 10 M3/Hr = 240 m3/day

    240 m3/day divided by 24 m3/m2/day = 10 m2 surface area required.

    SWD – 2.5 to 4 m ( Average 2.5 or 3 m)

    10 m2 surface area x 3 m swd = 30 m3 Volume

    Convert 10 m2 into circular surface area , Hence 3m dia x 3 m SWD


    Aeration Tank :

    AT Volume = Flow m3 x BOD destroyed Kg/m3

    F/m kg/kg x MLSS Kg/m3

    F/m – Normal range – 0.1 to 0.6


    MLSS -Normal range – 2500 to 5000 mg/lit = 2.5 to 5 kg/m3
    BOD destroyed – Whatever is the inlet BOD to the Aeration tank minus expected outlet BOD

    For eg.
    Flow – 10m3/hr = 240 m3/day
    Inlet BOD - 330 ppm
    Outlet BOD - 30 ppm
    BOD destroyed – 330 – 30 = 300 ppm = 300 mg/lit = 300 gms/m3 = 0.3 kg/m3
    F/m - Assume 0.3
    MLSS - Assume 3000 mg/lit = 3 kg/m3

    {(240 x 0.3)/ (0.3 x 3)} = 80 m3 Aeration tank volume. – HRT = 8 Hours.


    Air blower :

    Air blower m3/hr


    = (Flow m3/day x kg BOD destroyed x Oxygenation factor -KgO2 per kg BOD)

    (1.21 x 0.23 x 24 x Oxygen Transfer efficiency – OTE- %)

    Flow – 240 m3/day


    Inlet BOD - 330 ppm
    Outlet BOD - 30 ppm
    BOD destroyed – 330 – 30 = 300 ppm = 300 mg/lit = 300 gms/m3 = 0.3 kg/m3
    O2 factor - 1.2 to 2.5 kgO2 per Kg BOD destroyed.

    Constants
    1.21 - Air density
    0.23 - % of Oxygen in air
    24 - 24 hours in 1 day

    OTE - 5% per meter of liquid depth.

    (240 x 0.3 x 1.5) Div by (1.21x 0.23 x 24 x 0.2) = 80 m3/Hr air required
    MBBR Design

    8 to 24 gms BOD per m2 media surface area.

    Inlet BOD – 330 ppm


    Outlet BOD – 30 ppm
    BOD destroyed - 300 ppm = 300 gms/m3

    240 m3 flow x 300 gms BOD = 72,000 gms BOD to be destroyed per day.

    Between 8 to 24 – Assume a figure, Say 10 gms BOD/m2

    10 gms BOD ------------- 1 m2 media surface area


    72,000 gms BOD ------- 7200 m2 media surface area

    1m3 media = 400 to 500 m2, so 7200 m2 divided by 400 m2/m3 = 18 m3 media.

    If media is 18 m3, anything from 3 to 5 times should be Tank volume
