25.Problem 2.27 page 50 (Mihelcic reference book)


Given: TS=200ml/L TDS = 30 mg/L FSS = 30
mg/L
Required: a.) total suspended solids concentration
b.) Does this sample have appreciable organic matter?
Solution:
a.) TSS= TS – TDS = 200 - 30 = 170 mg/L
b.) VSS= TSS – FSS = 170 – 30 = 140 mg/L
* Because volatile solids consist primarily of organic matter, it can be
concluded that approximately 70% (140/200) of the solids are organic
