Two types of flow regime are normally used in the design of anactivated sludge process,
namely completely mixed and plug flow (both are continuous). Usingfirst order kinetic
reaction, demonstrate which flow regime provide a betterperformance, given the
followings:
Q = 550 m3/d t = 6 hours Co = 225 mg/L k = 0.15 d-1
