A WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT OPERATING PRIMARY SETTLING TANKS GETS IN INFLOW OF 12.96 MILLION LITRES PER DAY WITH INFLUENT SUSPENDED SOLIDS CONCENTRATION OF 280.0 MG/L. THE PRIMARY SETTLING TANK HAS A REMOVAL EFFICIENCY OF 59% WITH SLUDGE CONCENTRATION OF 5%. IF THE VOLATILE SOLIDS CONCENTRATION IN SETTLED SLUDGE IS 60% AND THE SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF VOLATILE SOLIDS IS 0.990; AND THE FIXED SOLIDS CONCENTRATION IS 40% AND THE SPECIFIC GRAVITY OF FIXED SOLIDS IS 2.65, DETERMINE THE DAILY SLUDGE PRODUCTION.
