Waste water treatment - Activated Sludge design
Waste water treatment - Activated Sludge design
(OP)
So i'm designing a plant that manufactures interferons. I've completed a majority of the plant and now i'm left with treating the waste water of the system.
I am required to calculate the amount of oxygen produced by all the substrates in the waste water and to design a settler/clarifier.
I'm planning to combine all the streams that I regard as waste into one which will include the following:
- Yeast extract, Pepton, Glycerol, Phosphoric acid, Calcium Sulphate, Ammonium Sulphate, Sodium Azide and various others.
As there are a lot of components, how would I go about calculating the oxygen produced?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Clearly you need to calculate how much oxygen will be CONSUMED, not produced...

Note that the inorganics you have listed above do not have an oxygen demand.

Also is there a site I could go to in order to find similar facilities?
