MBBR Calculation Spreadsheet

The document provides information on wastewater characteristics including BOD, COD, and suspended solids levels. It then outlines steps to determine the total soluble BOD in effluent, treatment efficiency based on soluble BOD, and the oxygen demand for the aeration process. Design parameters for an aeration tank like oxygen demand, tank dimensions, and airflow requirements are also provided.
