1. What is Operation D.O Level when Correction Factor is 0.85?

Definition: This calculator determines the actual dissolved oxygen level in water when the correction factor is 0.85, based on oxygen transfer parameters and temperature.

Purpose: It's essential for wastewater treatment and aquatic ecosystem management to ensure proper oxygen levels for biological processes.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ DL = DO_{0.85} - \left( \frac{N \times 9.17}{N_s \times 0.85 \times (1.024)^{(T-20)}} \right) \]

Where:

\( DL \) — Operation Dissolved Oxygen (kg/m³)
\( DO_{0.85} \) — D.O Saturation at correction factor 0.85 (kg/m³)
\( N \) — Oxygen Transferred (kg/s/W)
\( N_s \) — Oxygen Transfer Capacity (kg/s/W)
\( T \) — Temperature (°C)

Explanation: The formula accounts for the oxygen transfer efficiency and temperature effects on oxygen solubility.

3. Importance of Operation D.O Level Calculation

Details: Proper dissolved oxygen levels are critical for aquatic life and wastewater treatment efficiency. This calculation helps optimize aeration systems.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the D.O saturation, oxygen transferred, oxygen transfer capacity, and temperature. All values must be positive (temperature in °C).

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Why is the correction factor 0.85 used?
A: The 0.85 factor accounts for typical efficiency in oxygen transfer systems, representing that actual D.O. saturation is about 85% of theoretical.

Q2: What does the 9.17 constant represent?
A: This is a conversion factor that relates oxygen transfer rates to standard conditions.

Q3: How does temperature affect the calculation?
A: Higher temperatures decrease oxygen solubility in water, which is accounted for by the (1.024)^(T-20) term.

Q4: What are typical values for oxygen transfer capacity?
A: This varies by system but typically ranges from 0.5 to 2.0 kg/s/W for wastewater treatment systems.

Q5: When would I need to calculate operation D.O level?
A: This calculation is essential when designing or optimizing aeration systems in wastewater treatment plants or aquaculture facilities.
