Wasting Rate from Return Line Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Wasting Rate from Return Line?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
θc=VX(Qw'Xr)+(QeXe)
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
θc=10001200mg/L(400m³/d200mg/L)+(1523.81m³/d60mg/L)
Next Step Convert Units
θc=10001.2kg/m³(0.0046m³/s0.2kg/m³)+(0.0176m³/s0.06kg/m³)
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
θc=10001.2(0.00460.2)+(0.01760.06)
Next Step Evaluate
θc=604799.899200017s
Next Step Convert to Output's Unit
θc=6.99999883333353d
LAST Step Rounding Answer
θc=7d

How to Evaluate Wasting Rate from Return Line?

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.

How to evaluate Wasting Rate from Return Line using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Wasting Rate from Return Line, enter Reactor Volume (V), MLSS (X), WAS Pumping Rate from Return Line (Qw'), Sludge Concentration in Return Line (Xr), Effluent Flow Rate (Qe) & Solid Concentration in Effluent (Xe) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Wasting Rate from Return Line

What is the formula to find Wasting Rate from Return Line?
The formula of Wasting Rate from Return Line is expressed as 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)). Here is an example- 8.1E-5 = (1000*1.2)/((0.00462962962962963*0.2)+(0.0176366898148148*0.06)).
How to calculate Wasting Rate from Return Line?
With Reactor Volume (V), MLSS (X), WAS Pumping Rate from Return Line (Qw'), Sludge Concentration in Return Line (Xr), Effluent Flow Rate (Qe) & Solid Concentration in Effluent (Xe) we can find Wasting Rate from Return Line using the formula - 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)).
What are the other ways to Calculate Mean Cell Residence Time?
Here are the different ways to Calculate Mean Cell Residence Time-
  • Mean Cell Residence Time=(Reactor Volume*MLSS)/(WAS Pumping Rate from Return Line*Sludge Concentration in Return Line)OpenImg
Can the Wasting Rate from Return Line be negative?
No, the Wasting Rate from Return Line, measured in Time cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Wasting Rate from Return Line?
Wasting Rate from Return Line is usually measured using the Day[d] for Time. Second[d], Millisecond[d], Microsecond[d] are the few other units in which Wasting Rate from Return Line can be measured.
