1.Sewage Treatment--Parameter
Water volume m³/h                 COD(mg/1)                              BOD
46 1200 No data:BOD=0.5×COD=600mg/L 600
 
2. Calculation by Gas-Water Ratio
Contact oxidation tank 15:01 15×46=690m³/h 690 
Activated sludge tank 10:01 10×46=460m³/h 460 
Conditioning tank 5:01 5×46=230m³/h 230 
Total air volume 690+460+230=1380m³/h=23m³/min 1380 
 
3. According to Remove 1kgBOD Need 1.5 Oxygen
The amount of BOD removed per hour is: 600mg/L×46m³/h=27.6kg 27.6 
Oxygen demand 27.6×1.5=41.4kg/h 41.4 
Weight of oxygen in air 0.233kgO2/kgAir
Density of air. 1.293kg/m³
Then the amount of air required: 41.25÷0.233=177.7kg/h 177.6824034 
Thenthe volume of air 177.04÷1.293=137.4m³/h 137.4187188 
Set the microporous aeration head oxygen utilization rate of 20%
Thenthe actual amount of air required 137.4÷0.2=687m³/h=11.45m³/min 11.4515599 
 
4. According to The Unit Pool Area Aeration Intensity Calculation
Aeration intensity generally 10-20m³/m²h
Aerobic pool to take
the middle value of 15m³/m².h
15  125 
Adjustment pool take 5m³/m².h 120 
Contact oxidation and activated sludge tank area 0.25 
Then the aerobic tank requires air volume 125×15=1875m³/h=31.25m³/min
Thenthe air volume required for regulating tank
