A continuous process is set up for treatment of wastewater. Each day, 103 kg cellulose and 105 kg bacteria enter in the feed stream, while 102 kg cellulose and 1.5 x 102 kg bacteria leave in the effluent. The rate of cellulose digestion by the bacteria is 8 x 102 kg d-1. The rate of bacterial growth is 4x 102 kg d-l; the rate of cell death by lysis is 6 x 102 kg d-1. Write balances for cellulose and bacteria in the system.
