Mass of Wasted Activated Sludge Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Mass of Wasted Activated Sludge?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
Mws=(YQs(Qi-Qo))-(KeVX')
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
Mws=(0.510m³/s(11.2mg/L-0.4mg/L))-(2.99d⁻¹91200mg/L)
Next Step Convert Units
Mws=(0.510m³/s(0.0112kg/m³-0.0004kg/m³))-(3.5E-5s⁻¹91.2kg/m³)
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
Mws=(0.510(0.0112-0.0004))-(3.5E-591.2)
Next Step Evaluate
Mws=0.05362625kg
LAST Step Convert to Output's Unit
Mws=53626.25mg

FAQs on Mass of Wasted Activated Sludge

What is the formula to find Mass of Wasted Activated Sludge?
The formula of Mass of Wasted Activated Sludge is expressed as Mass of Wasted Activated Sludge = (Maximum Yield Coefficient*Sewage Discharge*(Influent BOD-Effluent BOD))-(Endogenous Respiration Rate Constant*Volume of Tank*Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids). Here is an example- 5.4E+10 = (0.5*10*(0.0112-0.0004))-(3.46064814814815E-05*9*1.2).
How to calculate Mass of Wasted Activated Sludge?
With Maximum Yield Coefficient (Y), Sewage Discharge (Qs), Influent BOD (Qi), Effluent BOD (Qo), Endogenous Respiration Rate Constant (Ke), Volume of Tank (V) & Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids (X') we can find Mass of Wasted Activated Sludge using the formula - Mass of Wasted Activated Sludge = (Maximum Yield Coefficient*Sewage Discharge*(Influent BOD-Effluent BOD))-(Endogenous Respiration Rate Constant*Volume of Tank*Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids).
Can the Mass of Wasted Activated Sludge be negative?
No, the Mass of Wasted Activated Sludge, measured in Weight cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Mass of Wasted Activated Sludge?
Mass of Wasted Activated Sludge is usually measured using the Milligram[mg] for Weight. Kilogram[mg], Gram[mg], Ton (Metric)[mg] are the few other units in which Mass of Wasted Activated Sludge can be measured.
