A trickling filter plant treats 1500 m³/day of sewage with a BOD, of 220 mg/l and a suspended solid concentration of 250 mg/l. Estimate the total solid production assuming that primary clarification removes 30% of BOD and 60% of influent solids. Take the solid production in the trickling filter at 0.5 kg per kg of the applied BOD.
