the pounds formula

Wastewater. It maybe crap to you, but it's bread and butter to me.

It's all about "total mass" - not too much, not too little. The Goldilocks of utilities. The pounds formula is simple:

Pounds = (concentration) X (8.34 pounds per gallon) x (volume in gallons)

That's it. Take a sample, determine the concentration, multiply by 8.34, multiply by volume... and you got it.
