A cylindrical bioreactor of diameter 3 m has four baffles. A Rushton turbine mounted in the reactor has a diameter one third the tank diameter and is operated at a speed of 90 rpm. The density of the fluid is approximately I g cm-3. The reactor is used to culture an anaerobic organism that does not require gas sparging. The broth can be assumed Newtonian. As the cells grow, the viscosity of the broth increases. when the viscosity is 1000 times greater than water, estimate the power required to achieve turbulence.

An activated-sludge waste treatment system is required to reduce the amount of BOD5 from 1000 mg/l to 20 mg/l at the exit. The sedimentation unit concentrates biomass by a factor of 3. Kinetic parameters are µm = 0.2 h-1 , Ks = 80 mg/l, kd = 0.01 h-1 , and Y M X/S = 0.5 g MLVSS/g BOD5. The flow of waste water is 10000 l/h and the size of the treatment basin is 50,000 l. What is the value of the solids residence time?
