A 2.0-m belt press dewaters 150 gpm of sludge at 4 percent solids. The polymer dose is 6.4 gpm containing 0.5 percent polymer by weight. The wash-water consumption is 60 gpm. Cake solids arc 24 percent, and the suspended solids in the wash water is 1400 mg/l. Calculate the hydraulic loading rate, solids load­ing rate, and polymer dosage and estimate the solids recovery.
