Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on

how do i convert mg/l to % solids?

To obtain a solid % you must compare the same kind of unit. If you have mass (mg) and volume (liters) you must convert the volume in mass.
1 Liters of water = 1 kg
1 ml of water = 1 g
so if you put 5 mg of potassium in 1 ml of water, the solid % would be 5mg / 1 g = 0.5%
so divide number of gram of solid by the number of gram of liquid and you obtain the solid %. For example wastewater 5% solid generaly have 50 g of biosolid for 1000 g (1 liter) of water.
