Best Answer

Sludge retention time = lbs of SS in the system/lbs of SS leaving system

or

aeration tank MLSS x volume of aeration tank and secondary clarifier (as million gallons) x 8.34 / WAS TSS conc x WAS flow x 8.34 + Effluent TSS conc x Effluent Flow X 8.34

How to calculate Relative retention time?

Divide the retention time of the peak of ineterest (ex. 14.8 min.) by the retention time of the main peak (ex. 15.9 min.) 14.8/15.9 = 0.93 Therefore your RRT is 0.93 Remember, any peak with an RRT <1 elutes before the main peak, and any peak with an RRT >1 elutes after the main peak!

What is diffrente of retention time and ditention time?

Retention time is the time of passing material(fluids) through the volume of the drum with determined flowrate :Retention time=V/Qwhich Q : flowrateand V : Volumebut Detention time is the time that materials stay in drumin batch systems Detention time equals with Retention time.but in continious systems or semi batch systems denention time is bigger than Retention timecommonly.Detention time= n Retention timewhich n is the number of times which materials(fluids) pass through the the volume of drum.
