    The document provides calculations for a decanter mass balance for sludge dewatering. It calculates the solids in the sludge feed, cake, and centrate streams, as well as the centrate and cake volumes based on a mass balance equation. The mass balance sum of 0.83% indicates the calculations close within 0.83% error, demonstrating good mass balance across the inputs and outputs of the decanter.

    You have mentioned the following Centrate Mass DS Tons = Centrate Volume*Cenrate % solids Cake Mass DS Tons=Cake volume *Cake % solids Mass Balance Sum 0.24 0.59 0.83

    These rows i have highlighted in your excel sheet ( Attached ) What do you mean by this MASS BALANCE SUM wh What conclusion can be drawn from the figure 0.83 % ....Please advise

    When i compare the decanter feed of 43 m3/hr with centrate volume and cake volume ( 40.5+ 2.5 m3) it matches please advise sir

    you mean by this MASS BALANCE SUM what does this indicate ??

    d cake volume ( 40.5+ 2.5 m3) it matches to 43 m3/hr -Highlighted in red font
