Question: 8 - 9 Using Eqs. ( 8 - 2 0 ) and ( 8 - 2 1 ) , compare the amount of sludge wasted

8-9 Using Eqs. (8-20) and (8-21), compare the amount of sludge wasted daily as (a) VSS,(b) TSS, and (c) biomass for operation at an SRT of 10 and 20d for the following wastewater and design conditions. Assume all of the influent TKN is biodegradable and complete nitrification to NO3-N with no significant NO2-N present (less than 0.10mgL). Repeat the calculation without accounting for cell debris. How much error is introduced?
