Aeration Tank and Clarifier Design

The document provides design calculations for an aeration tank and secondary clarifier used in a sewage treatment plant, including oxygen requirements, air flow needs, sludge recycling rates, and sizing parameters for tanks, pumps, and other equipment based on design flow rate, BOD loading, and other operating conditions. Design criteria are referenced from standard texts like Metcalf & Eddy to support the calculations and ensure components meet typical design specifications. The system is designed to treat 175 cubic meters per day of sewage to meet discharge limits for BOD, TSS and other parameters over a retention time of 15 hours in the aeration tank and 4.29
