What Does VS Stand For?
VS stands for Volatile Solids
Volatile Solids (VS) refer to the organic matter in solid waste or sludge that can be vaporized when subjected to high temperatures, typically in processes such as incineration or digestion. VS is an important parameter in waste management and wastewater treatment, as it helps assess the digestibility, stability, and potential energy recovery of organic materials. Measuring volatile solids provides insights into the composition and biodegradability of the waste, thereby aiding in the optimization of treatment processes.
