A continuous process is set up for treatment of wastewater. Each day, 105 kg cellulose and 103 kg bacteria enter in the feed stream, while 104 kg cellulose and 1.5 x 104 kg bacteria leave in the effluent. The rate of cellulose digestion by the bacteria is 7 x 104 kg d-1. The rate of bacterial growth is 2 x 104 kg d-1 ; the rate of cell death by lysis is 5 x 102 kg d-1. Write balances for cellulose and bacteria in the system.
