Maximum Solids given Solid Loading Rate Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Maximum Solids = Surface Area*Solid Loading Rate
S = SA*A_Q
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Maximum Solids - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Maximum Solids entering the clarifier in circular settling tank.
Surface Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Surface Area of a three-dimensional shape is the sum of all of the surface areas of each of the sides.
Solid Loading Rate - (Measured in Kilogram per Second Square Meter) - Solid Loading Rate is the rate at which solid is loaded in a given surface area as mass flow rate.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Surface Area: 18 Square Meter --> 18 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Solid Loading Rate: 0.17 kilogram per Day Square Meter --> 1.96759259259259E-06 Kilogram per Second Square Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

S = SA*A_Q --> 18*1.96759259259259E-06

Evaluating ... ...

S = 3.54166666666666E-05

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.54166666666666E-05 Kilogram per Second -->3.06 Kilogram per Day (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

3.06 Kilogram per Day <-- Maximum Solids

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

Go Average Daily Influent Flow Rate = (Return Activated Sludge/1.25)

Return Activated Sludge Flow Rate

Go Return Activated Sludge = 1.25*Average Daily Influent Flow Rate

Maximum Solids given Solid Loading Rate Formula

Maximum Solids = Surface Area*Solid Loading Rate
S = SA*A_Q

What is Solid Loading Rate ?

Solids loading rate (SLR) SLR is the amount of solids per day that can be removed per square foot of surface area by a clarifier (lbs/day/ft²). If the SLR increases above the design limits of the clarifier, there will be an increase in effluent solids.
