Theoretical Oxygen Requirement - (Measured in Milligram per Day) - Theoretical oxygen requirement is the calculated amount of oxygen required to oxidize a compound to its final oxidation products.
Sewage Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Sewage discharge is the flow rate of sewage when it is being discharged in the river.
Influent BOD - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Influent BOD is the total amount of BOD which is present in the incoming sewage.
Effluent BOD - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Effluent BOD is the amount of BOD present in the outing sewage.
5 days BOD - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - 5 days BOD is an indicator of how much oxygen is utilized by a natural water sample in five days at 20 degrees C.
Ultimate BOD - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Ultimate BOD is the amount of oxygen required to decompose all of the organic material after infinite time.
Oxygen demand of biomass - Oxygen demand of biomass is the amount of oxygen required.
Volume of Wasted Sludge per day - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Volume of wasted sludge per day is measured in terms of discharge.
MLSS in returned or wasted sludge - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - MLSS in returned or wasted sludge is the mixed liquor suspended solids in returned sludge in terms of mg per litre.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Sewage Discharge: 10 Cubic Meter per Second --> 10 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Influent BOD: 11.2 Milligram per Liter --> 0.0112 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion ​here)
Effluent BOD: 0.4 Milligram per Liter --> 0.0004 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion ​here)
5 days BOD: 2 Milligram per Liter --> 0.002 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion ​here)
Ultimate BOD: 2 Milligram per Liter --> 0.002 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion ​here)
Oxygen demand of biomass: 2 --> No Conversion Required
Volume of Wasted Sludge per day: 9.5 Cubic Meter per Second --> 9.5 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
MLSS in returned or wasted sludge: 2 Milligram per Liter --> 0.002 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion ​here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
O2 = ((Qs*(Qi-Qo))/(BOD5/BODu))-(DO2*Qw*XR) --> ((10*(0.0112-0.0004))/(0.002/0.002))-(2*9.5*0.002)
Evaluating ... ...
O2 = 0.07
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
8.10185185185185E-13 Kilogram per Second -->0.07 Milligram per Day (Check conversion ​here)
FINAL ANSWER
0.07 Milligram per Day <-- Theoretical Oxygen Requirement

What is aeration ?

Aeration in an activated sludge process is based on pumping air into a tank, which promotes the microbial growth in the wastewater. The microbes feed on the organic material, forming flocks which can easily settle out.
