Loading Rate of Aeration Tank: 4 Parameters | Waste Management

The loading rate of aeration tank is based on the following four parameters: 1. Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT) 2. Volumetric BOD Loading or Volumetric Organic Loading 3. Food to Micro-Organism Ratio (F/M Ratio) 4. Mean Cell Residence Time (MCRT) or Sludge Retention Time (SRT) or Sludge Age. Parameter # 1. Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT): Hydraulic retention time is a loading [...]
