Final results
The previous computational procedure must be repeated for several iteration to obtain a stable value of influent quality
(< 1% of fluctuation.)
The effluent quantity discharged from the plant will be slightly
less than the influent flow due to evaporation loss, loss of water in production of digester gases, and moisture contained in the sludge cake
