In a trickling biological filter, the BOD value of the feed stream is S_0i = 500 mg/l with a feed flow of F = 10³ l/h. The effluent BOD value is desired to be S₀ = 10 mg/l. The following kinetic parameters for the biocatalysts are known: r_m = 20 mg/S/l .h and K_s = 200 mg S/l. The biofilm thickness is L = 0.1 mm. The cross-sectional area of the filter is A = 2 m² , and the biofilm surface area per unit volume of the bed is a = 500 cm² /cm³ . Assume that dissolved oxygen is the rate-limiting substrate and the diffusion coefficient of oxygen is D_O2 = 2 × 10^-5 cm² /s. Determine the required height of the bed.
