Sludge production in wastewater treatment is mainly determined by the amount of suspended and/or dissolved solids present in the wastewater. Generally, the higher the levels of suspended and dissolved solids, the greater the amount of sludge produced.
The easiest way to calculate sludge production is to determine the amount of solids removed by calculating the difference between the influent and effluent. For example, if the influent contains 200mg/L of suspended solids and the effluent contains 50mg/L of suspended solids, then 150mg/L have been removed and this is the amount of sludge that has been produced.
