BOD5 given Oxygen Required in Aeration Tank Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate BOD5 given Oxygen Required in Aeration Tank?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
BOD5a=BODuQs(Qi-Q)O2+(1.42QwXR)
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
BOD5a=2mg/L10m³/s(13.2mg/L-0.4mg/L)2.5mg/d+(1.429.5m³/s1.4mg/L)
Next Step Convert Units
BOD5a=0.002kg/m³10m³/s(0.0132kg/m³-0.0004kg/m³)2.9E-11kg/s+(1.429.5m³/s0.0014kg/m³)
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
BOD5a=0.00210(0.0132-0.0004)2.9E-11+(1.429.50.0014)
Next Step Evaluate
BOD5a=0.0135550142755365kg/m³
Next Step Convert to Output's Unit
BOD5a=13.5550142755365mg/L
LAST Step Rounding Answer
BOD5a=13.555mg/L
