Anaerobic Digester Design and Calculation

This document provides information to design and size various components of a wastewater treatment system including: - The system receives 30,000 L/d of wastewater from 50 persons with contributions from laundry, kitchen, and toilets - A digester is designed to treat the sludge with a volume of 1 m3 and receive 0.09 m3/d of sludge - The digester is estimated to produce 1.38 m3/d of biogas that is 67% methane - A trickling filter is designed to treat an average flow of 18,925 m3/d to reduce BOD and ammonia levels meeting effluent limits.
