BOD5 is removal in the primary settling tank. The operating
MLSS concentration in the aeration tank is proposed to be2400
mg/L and the sludge.Volume after 30 minutes settling in a 1000 ml
graduatedcylinder is 204 ml. Required hydraulic retention time is

Answer any three questions.
Two marks for neatness.
Assume appropriate data not given.
5. a) Draw a flow diagram for the treatment of
domesticwastewater including sludge disposeal system using,
amongother units, two-stage trickling filter, intermediate
