2. Volumetric loading rate or BOD loading rate :- It is ratio of BOD applied to unit volume of aeration tank.

3. Food to microorganism ratio (F/M) :- It is defined as the ratio of kg of BOD applied per day to kg of MLSS in aeration tank.

4. Mean cell residence time (Sludge age) :- It is defined as mass of cell in the reactors to mass of cells wasted per day.

~ Remedies :- Increase Qr & Decrease Q

2. Bulking of sludge :- Large number of dead cell in settled sludge and growth of filamentous organisms. Occurs when SVI ≃ 150

~ Remedies :- Bring down SVI (≃ 150), Increase pH, Increase DO, decrease F/M ratio.
