fr<strong>ac</strong>tion and slowly biodegradable COD fr<strong>ac</strong>tion in <strong>th</strong>e influent are related to <strong>th</strong>e oxygen<br />
utilization. The former is proportional to <strong>th</strong>e area between <strong>th</strong>e initial high OUR plot and<br />
horizontal line projected to <strong>th</strong>e vertical axis at <strong>th</strong>e level <strong>of</strong> <strong>th</strong>e second OUR plateau (Area I).<br />
The latter is proportional to <strong>th</strong>e area II. Area II includes <strong>th</strong>e utilization rate <strong>of</strong> endogenous<br />
sludge. The oxygen utilization in <strong>th</strong>e two phases is given as follows:<br />
Area I = OUR * Time * MLVSS * Volume <strong>of</strong> respirometer<br />
= 8.57 mg O2<br />
Area II = OUR * Time * MLVSS * Volume <strong>of</strong> respirometer<br />
= 12.89 mg O2<br />

After obtaining <strong>th</strong>e oxygen consumption, <strong>th</strong>e yield coefficient was calculated by <strong>th</strong>e<br />
formulae,<br />
Yield coefficient (Y) = CODT – OC<br />
CODT<br />
= 38.88 – 21.46 = 0.45<br />

Where,<br />
CODT = Total COD<br />
OC = Oxygen Consumption<br />
The readily biodegradable COD (Ss) and slowly biodegradable COD (Xs) can be<br />
calculated as follows:<br />
