Determine the daily primary sludge production during the following wastewater treatment with these operating characteristics:
Flow = 5000 gpm (gallons per minute)
Influent SS = 180 mg/L
Removal efficiency = 60%
Volatile solids = 70% of SS
Specific Gravity of volatile solids = 0.967
Fixed solids = 30% of SS
Specific Gravity of fixed solids = 2.4
Sludge solids content = 5.00%
