a) The separation index for the mass (3.3%) from table C.2 has not been used as it gave unrealistic results for both the fibre fraction and the liquid fraction. The calculation of the total mass is therefore based on measurements of the fibre fraction, which has a DM of 39.69%. When the DM is 39.69%, and the total DM is 20.63 kg, the total mass is 20.63 kg * 100/39.69 = 51.98 kg. This gives a separation index of (51.98 kg/1000 kg) * 100 % = 5.198 %.
