A sewage treatment plant $\text{(STP)}$ receives sewage at a flow rate of $20000 \mathrm{~m}^3$ per day. The sewage has $200 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{L}$ of suspended solids. Assume $60 \%$ suspended solids are removed in the primary clarifier. The underflow $\text{(i.e. sludge)}$ removed from the clarifier contains $5 \%$ solids $\text{(by weight)}$.
The daily volume of the sludge generated will be $\mathrm{m}^3$ per day.

Assume sludge density $=1000 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^3$.

  1. $4$
  2. $8$
  3. $48$
  4. $800$
