A raw sewage sample was brought in for total suspended solids and volatile solids analysis. A portion of the sample was poured into a tared evaporating dish and weighed. The sample was then heated at 105°C for 4 hours, weighed, heated at 550°C overnight, and weighed again. The data are as follows: • Tare wt. 42.9073g• Wt of sample 104.4680g• 105 °C wt. 45.4140g• 550 °C wt. 43.3236g What is the TSS in g/L? What percent of the solids are volatile?

Find the number of filters, area of each filter, percentage of backwash water to filtered water if the filter is stopped 30 min/day. Also, find the diameter of the pipe which transport the backwash water if the designed velocity is 3m/s.
