What (who) is suspended solids - definition
Suspended solids
SETTLEABLE SOLIDS, IN WATER
Suspended solid
Suspended solids refers to small solid particles which remain in suspension in water as a colloid or due to motion of the water. Suspended solids can be removed by sedimentation if their size or density is comparatively large, or by filtration.
Volatile suspended solids
WATER QUALITY MEASURE
Total Volatile Suspended Solids; Total volatile suspended solids
Volatile suspended solids (VSS) is a water quality measure obtained from the loss on ignition of the mass of measured total suspended solids. This ignition generally takes place in an oven at a temperature of 550 °C to 600 °C.
Mixed liquor suspended solids
SOLID MATERIAL PRODUCED DURING WASTE WATER TREATMENT
Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids; MLSS; MLVSS; Mixed Liquor Volatile Suspended Solids
Mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) is the concentration of suspended solids, in an aeration tank during the activated sludge process, which occurs during the treatment of waste water. The units MLSS is primarily measured in milligram per litre (mg/L), but for activated sludge its mostly measured in gram per litre [g/L] which is equal to kilogram per cubic metre [kg/m3].
Examples of use of suspended solids
1. The seawater will then be dosed with chemicals to precipitate the suspended solids and pre–treated through a single stage dual media filter.
2. To help, state regulators have granted the company a permit allowing it to dump 50 percent more ammonia and 35 percent more suspended solids into Lake Michigan.
3. Ammonia feeds oxygen–sucking algae blooms that kill fish, and the suspended solids in treated wastewater include mercury, lead, nickel and vanadium.
4. This summer, the state granted a permit allowing BP to dump 54 percent more ammonia and 35 percent more suspended solids into Lake Michigan as part of a refinery expansion project.
5. It would be unbelievably harmful to allow the first increase in dumping pollution in the Great Lakes in 10 or 15 years." The permit, which allows BP to release 1,584 pounds of ammonia and 4,'25 pounds of suspended solids daily into Lake Michigan, was awarded on June 21 after a public comment period and took effect Aug. 1.
