FAQs on Sludge Volume Index

What is the formula to find Sludge Volume Index?
The formula of Sludge Volume Index is expressed as Sludge Volume Index = (Sludge Volume*1000/MLSS). Here is an example- 150583.3 = (180.7*1000/1.2).
How to calculate Sludge Volume Index?
With Sludge Volume (Vob) & MLSS (X) we can find Sludge Volume Index using the formula - Sludge Volume Index = (Sludge Volume*1000/MLSS).
Can the Sludge Volume Index be negative?
No, the Sludge Volume Index, measured in Specific Volume cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Sludge Volume Index?
Sludge Volume Index is usually measured using the Milliliter per Gram[mL/g] for Specific Volume. Cubic Meter per Kilogram[mL/g], Cubic Centimeter per Gram[mL/g], Liter per Kilogram[mL/g] are the few other units in which Sludge Volume Index can be measured.
