An equipment used to absorb waste gases by water is being revamped. The capacity of the equipment in terms of water is only 4500 kg/s, anymore will incapacitate the equipment. Upon absorption, the wastewater stream must only contain 1% w/w ammonia and 2% w/w sulfur dioxide. The incoming waste gas contains 5.0% v/v ammonia and 7% v/v sulfur dioxide at a temperature of 30*C and a pressure of 1 atm. After treatment, the waste gas must leave the process with less than or equal to 500,000 ppb ammonia and with less than or equal to 400,000 ppb sulfur dioxide. Air, ammonia, and sulfur dioxide can be taken as ideal gases. There is no water and air carryovers in the treated gas and wastewater streams, respectively. Calculate the amount of waste gas (air with sulfur dioxide and ammonia) the 4500 kg/s water can treat.
