Concentration of Solids in Returned Sludge given MLSS Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Concentration of solids = (MLSS*Volume of Tank)/(Volume of Wasted Sludge per day*Sludge Age)
XR = (X*V)/(Qw*θc)
This formula uses 5 Variables
Variables Used
Concentration of solids - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Concentration of solids in the returned sludge or in the wasted sludge.
MLSS - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - MLSS is the sum of volatile suspended solids (organics) and fixed suspended solids (inorganics).
Volume of Tank - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of tank is defined as the capacity of flocculation and mixing tank.
Volume of Wasted Sludge per day - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Volume of wasted sludge per day is measured in terms of discharge.
Sludge Age - (Measured in Second) - Sludge Age is the average time for which the particle of suspended solids remains in aeration.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
MLSS: 1200 Milligram per Liter --> 1.2 Kilogram per Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Volume of Tank: 9 Cubic Meter --> 9 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Volume of Wasted Sludge per day: 9.5 Cubic Meter per Second --> 9.5 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Sludge Age: 5 Day --> 432000 Second (Check conversion here)
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
XR = (X*V)/(Qwc) --> (1.2*9)/(9.5*432000)
Evaluating ... ...
XR = 2.63157894736842E-06
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
2.63157894736842E-06 Kilogram per Cubic Meter -->0.00263157894736842 Milligram per Liter (Check conversion here)
FINAL ANSWER
0.00263157894736842 0.002632 Milligram per Liter <-- Concentration of solids
(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)

5 Concentration of Solids Calculators

Concentration of Solids in Effluent given Sludge Age
Go Concentration of solids in the effluent = (((Volume of Tank*MLSS)/Sludge Age)-(Volume of Wasted Sludge per day*Concentration of solids))/(Sewage Discharge-Volume of Wasted Sludge per day)
Concentration of Solids in Returned Sludge given Sludge Age
Go Concentration of solids = (((Volume of Tank*MLSS)/Sludge Age)-(Sewage Discharge-Volume of Wasted Sludge per day)*Concentration of solids in the effluent)/Volume of Wasted Sludge per day
Concentration of Solids in Returned Sludge given MLSS
Go Concentration of solids = (MLSS*Volume of Tank)/(Volume of Wasted Sludge per day*Sludge Age)
Concentration of Solids in Effluent given Mass of Solids Removed
Go Concentration of solids in the effluent = Mass of Solids/(Sewage Discharge-Volume of Wasted Sludge per day)
Concentration of Solids in Returned Sludge
Go Concentration of solids = Mass of Solids/Volume of Wasted Sludge per day

Concentration of Solids in Returned Sludge given MLSS Formula

Concentration of solids = (MLSS*Volume of Tank)/(Volume of Wasted Sludge per day*Sludge Age)
XR = (X*V)/(Qw*θc)
