MLSS given Sludge Age Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

MLSS = (Sludge Age*Mass of suspended solids)/Volume of Tank
X = (θ_c*M_ss)/V
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

MLSS - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - MLSS is the sum of volatile suspended solids (organics) and fixed suspended solids (inorganics).
Sludge Age - (Measured in Second) - Sludge Age is the average time for which the particle of suspended solids remains in aeration.
Mass of suspended solids - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass of suspended solids is the weight of the suspended solids present in sewage.
Volume of Tank - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of tank is defined as the capacity of flocculation and mixing tank.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Sludge Age: 5 Day --> 432000 Second (Check conversion here)
Mass of suspended solids: 20 Gram --> 0.02 Kilogram (Check conversion here)
Volume of Tank: 9 Cubic Meter --> 9 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

X = (θ_c*M_ss)/V --> (432000*0.02)/9

Evaluating ... ...

X = 960

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

960 Kilogram per Cubic Meter -->960000 Milligram per Liter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

960000 Milligram per Liter <-- MLSS

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is MLSS ?

Mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) is the concentration of suspended solids, in an aeration tank during the activated sludge process, which occurs during the treatment of waste water.

How to Calculate MLSS given Sludge Age?

MLSS given Sludge Age calculator uses MLSS = (Sludge Age*Mass of suspended solids)/Volume of Tank to calculate the MLSS, MLSS given Sludge Age is mixture of raw or settled wastewater and activated sludge contained in aeration basin in activated sludge process. MLSS is denoted by X symbol.

How to calculate MLSS given Sludge Age using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for MLSS given Sludge Age, enter Sludge Age (θ_c), Mass of suspended solids (M_ss) & Volume of Tank (V) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the MLSS given Sludge Age calculation can be explained with given input values -> 9.6E+8 = (432000*0.02)/9.

FAQ

What is MLSS given Sludge Age?

MLSS given Sludge Age is mixture of raw or settled wastewater and activated sludge contained in aeration basin in activated sludge process and is represented as X = (θ_c*M_ss)/V or MLSS = (Sludge Age*Mass of suspended solids)/Volume of Tank. Sludge Age is the average time for which the particle of suspended solids remains in aeration, Mass of suspended solids is the weight of the suspended solids present in sewage & Volume of tank is defined as the capacity of flocculation and mixing tank.

How to calculate MLSS given Sludge Age?

MLSS given Sludge Age is mixture of raw or settled wastewater and activated sludge contained in aeration basin in activated sludge process is calculated using MLSS = (Sludge Age*Mass of suspended solids)/Volume of Tank. To calculate MLSS given Sludge Age, you need Sludge Age (θ_c), Mass of suspended solids (M_ss) & Volume of Tank (V). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Sludge Age, Mass of suspended solids & Volume of Tank and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate MLSS?

In this formula, MLSS uses Sludge Age, Mass of suspended solids & Volume of Tank. We can use 1 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -
