Question: In a 5 0 0 m 3 activated sludge basin with 3 6 % w / w activated sludge, 5 , 0 0 0 litres

In a 500m3 activated sludge basin with 36% w/w activated sludge, 5,000 litres of wastewater per hour arrives. The decomposition of organic matter there results in a sludge gain of 750 kg/h. The
effluent is free of sludge particles as it is obtained by microfiltration of the suspension from the basin. The residual stream after filtration contains 50% w/w sludge of which a part is returned to the activated sludge basin and the rest is discharged.
Question : Calculate the flows of the effluent, sluice flow and recycling flow
-> Can you provide me a flowchart of the system to understand it better? Thank you
