Wastewater Design: alkalinity_consumed_nitrification to do_level
Wastewater and leachate treatment design criteria — process design parameters (HRT, SRT, MLSS, F/M, loading rates, membrane flux) and removal efficiencies (BOD, TSS, TN, TP) for activated sludge, SBR, MBR, oxidation ditch, trickling filter, aerated lagoon, and facultative lagoon processes, covering both municipal wastewater and landfill leachate applications
| parameter id | category | design basis | notes | parameter name | subcategory | unit | value max | value min | value typical |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| alkalinity_consumed_nitrification | activated_sludge | Metcalf & Eddy 5th Ed Eq 7-50 | Stoichiometric; 7.14 mg CaCO3 per mg NH3-N | Alkalinity consumed per mg NH3-N oxidized | nitrification | mg CaCO3/mg NH3-N | 7.14 | 7.14 | 7.14 |
| depth_lagoon_facultative | process_design | Metcalf & Eddy 5e | Shallow for light penetration to algal zone. Max 1.8 m per some standards. | Liquid depth - Facultative lagoon | lagoon_facultative | m | 2.5 | 1.2 | 1.5 |
| do_level | activated_sludge | Metcalf & Eddy 5th Ed; WEF MOP 8 | Minimum 1.5 mg/L for nitrification | Dissolved oxygen in aeration basin | conventional | mg/L | 3 | 1.5 | 2 |
