All parameters given for package plant sludge production
Sludge Production
Estimates activated sludge production from BOD removal, observed biological yield, solids decay, primary TSS capture, and VSS-to-TSS conversion. The template reports BOD removed, observed yield, biomass VSS production, primary solids, and total sludge production.
