STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Volume of Tank = (Maximum Yield Coefficient*Sewage Discharge*(Influent BOD-Effluent BOD)*Sludge Age)/(MLSS*(1+Endogenous Respiration Rate Constant*Sludge Age))
V = (Y*Q_s*(Q_i-Q_o)*θ_c)/(X*(1+K^e*θ_c))
This formula uses 8 Variables

Variables Used

Volume of Tank - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of tank is defined as the capacity of flocculation and mixing tank.
Maximum Yield Coefficient - Maximum Yield Coefficient Y represents the maximum mg of cells produced per mg organic matter removed.
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.
Sludge Age - (Measured in Second) - Sludge Age is the average time for which the particle of suspended solids remains in aeration.
MLSS - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - MLSS is the sum of volatile suspended solids (organics) and fixed suspended solids (inorganics).
Endogenous Respiration Rate Constant - (Measured in 1 Per Second) - Endogenous Respiration Rate Constant is used for designing a complete-mix activated-sludge system.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Maximum Yield Coefficient: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required
Sewage Discharge: 10 Cubic Meter per Second --> 10 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Influent BOD: 0.48 Milligram per Liter --> 0.00048 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Effluent BOD: 0.4 Milligram per Liter --> 0.0004 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Sludge Age: 5 Day --> 432000 Second (Check conversion here)
MLSS: 1200 Milligram per Liter --> 1.2 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Endogenous Respiration Rate Constant: 3 1 Per Day --> 3.47222222222222E-05 1 Per Second (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V = (Y*Q_s*(Q_i-Q_o)*θ_c)/(X*(1+K^e*θ_c)) --> (0.5*10*(0.00048-0.0004)*432000)/(1.2*(1+3.47222222222222E-05*432000))

Evaluating ... ...

V = 9.00000000000001

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

9.00000000000001 Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

9.00000000000001 ≈ 9 Cubic Meter <-- Volume of Tank

Volume of Aeration Tank Formula

What is Aeration Tank ?

Aeration tank where air (or oxygen) is injected in the mixed liquor. Settling tank (usually referred to as "final clarifier" or "secondary settling tank") to allow the biological flocs (the sludge blanket) to settle, thus separating the biological sludge from the clear treated water.

How to Calculate Volume of Aeration Tank?
