A membrane filtration unit iscapable of producing 1,999 L/m².d (i.e., maximum flux) of permeate.

It is anticipatedthat 83.0 L/min of permeate and 46 L/min of retentate will be generated from an organics processing plant.

This permeate will have a maximum organic concentration of 34.0 mg/L compared to 3,979 mg/L in the retentate.

Determine the surface area of the membrane(m²). Report answer to one decimal place.
