The formula to calculate the TSS Removal Efficiency is:
\[ \text{RE} = \left( \frac{\text{I} - \text{E}}{\text{I}} \right) \times 100 \]
Where:
Total Suspended Solids (TSS) removal efficiency is a measure of the effectiveness of a wastewater treatment process in removing suspended solids from the water. High TSS can harm aquatic life, contribute to the spread of pathogens, and lead to increased water turbidity. Therefore, calculating the removal efficiency helps in assessing the performance of treatment facilities and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{RE} = \left( \frac{150 - 30}{150} \right) \times 100 = 80\% \]
The TSS Removal Efficiency is 80%.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ \text{RE} = \left( \frac{200 - 50}{200} \right) \times 100 = 75\% \]
The TSS Removal Efficiency is 75%.
