The Clear Springs wastewater treatment plant receives an average dry weather flow of 5 MGD. The peak wet weather flow is 16 MGD. There are four primary clarifiers, each is 60 feet in diameter with an average depth of 18 feet. There is a single effluent weir around the periphery of each primary clarifier. The average influent TSS and BOD concentrations during dry weather flow are 285 and 290 mg/L, respectively. The influent TSS are 72% volatile. The average primary effluent TSS and BOD concentrations during dry weather flow are 95 and 145 mg/L, respectively. Each primary sludge pump pumps 35 gpm. Calculate the pounds of TSS per day removed in the primary clarifiers.
