Wasting Rate from Return Line evaluator uses Mean Cell Residence Time = (Reactor Volume*MLSS)/((WAS Pumping Rate from Return Line*Sludge Concentration in Return Line)+(Effluent Flow Rate*Solid Concentration in Effluent)) to evaluate the Mean Cell Residence Time, The Wasting Rate from Return Line formula is defined as the time required to waste sludge from the return sludge line because return activated sludge is more concentrated and requires smaller waste sludge pumps. Mean Cell Residence Time is denoted by θc symbol.
