Abstract
A major problem in designing water pollution control plants is sizing units to have adequate capacity to treat peak flow rates and waste loads without process failure or significant loss in performance. A case study of a midwest city is used as a basis for determining peak-to-average wastewater flow and load ratios. These peaking ratios provided a basis for making various recommendations for designing specific treatment units for activated sludge plants. The peaking considerations covered should apply to design of plants for any size city although specific ratios should be developed from local records.
