RBC Domestic Waste Water Treatment Plant Process Calculation

1. Designed Wastewater Flow Rate:

Wastewater flow rate (average) = 1650 persons x 0,15 m 3/day = 250 m3/day

Wastewater flow rate (maximum) = 250 m 3/day x 1,2 = 300 m3/day

Wastewater treatment plant designed flow rate = 300 m 3/day

2. WWTP Wastewater Characteristics:

A. Influent twastewater characteristics:

BOD : 300 mg/l

COD : 600 mg/l

SS : 200 mg/l

B. Target effluent characteristics:

BOD : 25 mg/l

COD : 80 mg/l

SS : 30 mg/l

Total BOD Load = 300 mg/l x 300 m3/day = 90.000 gr BOD/day = 90 kg BOD/day

3. Functional Calculation in each ProcessTreatments

1. Grid and Grease Removal Unit

Flow rate : Q = 300 CMD = 12,5 CMH

Retention Time : 20 min. in hourly flow , Total volume needed:

V=12,5 m3/hour x 20 min. x (1 hour / 60 min) = 4,16 m 3

Unit Dimension: L500 x W100 x H100 = effective unit volume 5 m 3> 4,16 m3

2. 1st Sedimentation Tank

Flow rate : Q = 300 CMD = 12,5 CMH

Peak Flow : 12,5 m3/hour x 2 = 25 m 3/hour

Retention Time : 2,5 hour in peak flow , Total volume needed:

V=25 m3/hour x 2,5 hour = 62,5 m3

Unit Dimension: L600 x W400 x H300 = effective unit volume 72 m 3> 62,5 m3

3. 2nd Sedimentation Tank

Flow rate : Q = 300 CMD = 12,5 CMH

Peak Flow : 12,5 m3/hour x 2 = 25 m 3/hour

Retention Time : 2,0 hour in peak flow , Total volume needed:

V=25 m3/hour x 2,0 hour = 50 m3

Unit Dimension: L600 x W300 x H300 = effective unit volume 54 m3> 50 m3

4. Equalization Tank

Flow rate : Q = 300 CMD = 12,5 CMH

Peak Flow : 12,5 m3/hour x 2 = 25 m 3/hour

Retention Time : 2,0 hour in peak flow , Total volume needed:

V=25 m3/hour x 2,0 hour = 50 m3

Unit Dimension: L600 x W300 x H300 = effective unit volume 54 m 3> 50 m3

5. Rotating Biological Contactor(RBC) Unit

Total BOD Load = 300 mg/l x 300 m3/day = 90.000 gr BOD/day = 90 kg BOD/day

BOD Reduction by Mechanical Stage(only soluble BOD is allowed in biofilm system);

Sedimentation (30%) : 90kg BOD/day x 0,3 = 27 kg BOD/day

BOD load to RBC units : 90 – 27 = 63kg BOD/day

BOD effective load at 120C : 13 gr/m2.day

Biological Load: 63000 gr BOD/day / 13 gr/m2.day = 4846 m2 surface area needed

Selected Model: PlanetDISK MX Model = 700 m2/unit (106 discs - average)

Total 4846 m 2 / 700 m2/unit = 6,9 = 7 units of PlanetDISK® RBC Units.

Number of disks: 106 discs/unit x 7 unit = 742 discs

Diameter of disks: 2,05 m

Retention Time:

1 PlanetDISK MX = 4,25 m 3/unit

7 unit x 4,25 m3/unit = 29,75 m3 / 12,5 m 3/hour = 2,38 hour > 1 hour

6. Final Sedimentation

Flow rate : Q = 300 CMD = 12,5 CMH

Flow : 12,5 m3/hour

Retention Time : 30 minutes at average flow , Total volume needed:

V=12,5 m3/hour x 30 min. x (1 hour / 60 min) = 6,25 m 3

1 Lamella Separator = 2,5 m3/unit

3 unit x 2,5 m3/unit = 7,5 m3> 6,25 m 3
