SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the calculation of suspended solids in an activated sludge system, specifically questioning the sludge age. The user attempts to apply the formula for suspended solids in effluent, suggesting that the correct value should be 7950 m³/s, derived from the flow rates of 8100 m³/s and 150 m³/s. Clarification is sought regarding whether the 8100 m³/s refers to the effluent flow rate.
PREREQUISITES
