Based on jar test results, 51 mg/L of alum is used to coagulate a sample containing 114 mg/L suspended soids. How many mg/L as CaCO3 of natural alkalinity are consumed? What is the mass rate of sludge generated if suspended solids are reduced to 10 mg/L? Assume Al(OH)3 is precipitated (EW=26.0 mg/meq). The plant treats 100,000 gpd.
