(a) Calculate the percentage of moisture in the thickened sludge, ,


(b) Determine the volume required for a first-stage high-rate digester based on the following criteria: a maximum loading of 100 lb of volatile solids per 1000ft3/day and a minimum detention time of 15 days, ,


(c) If the volatile solids reduction in the completely mixed digester is 60%, what is the percentage of moisture in the digested sludge?
