A community generates 1 million litres/day (MLD) of wastewater. This wastewater is treated using activated sludge process (ASP). The working volume of the aeration tank of the ASP is $250 \mathrm{~m}^3$, and the biomass concentration in the tank is $3000 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{L}$. Analyses results showed that a biomass concentration of $10 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{L}$ is present in the treated effluent from the secondary sedimentation tank of the ASP. Sludge wastage from the system is at a rate of $5000 \mathrm{~L} /$ day with a biomass concentration of $10000 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{L}$. The system is in steady state condition.

The biological sludge residence time (BSRT) of the system (in days) is _________ (round off to one decimal place).

The wastewater inflow to an activated sludge plant is 0.5 m3/s, and the plant is to be operated with a food to microorganism ratio of 0.2 mg/mg-d. The concentration of influent biodegradable organic matter of the wastewater to the plant (after primary settling) is 150 mg/L, and the mixed liquor volatile suspended solids concentration to be maintained in the plant is 2000 mg/L. Assuming that complete removal of biodegradable organic matter in the tank, the volume of aeration tank (in m3, in integer) required for the plant is _________.
