A waste to energy plant burns dry solid waste of composition: Carbon = 35%, Oxygen = 26%, Hydrogen = 10%, Sulphur = 6%, Nitrogen = 3%, and Inerts = 20%. Burning rate is 1000 tonnes/d. Oxygen in air by weight is 23%. Assume complete conversion of Carbon to CO2, Hydrogen to H2O, Sulphur to SO2 and Nitrogen to NO2.
Given Atomic weights: H = 1, C = 12, N = 14, O = 16, S = 32.
The stoichiometric (theoretical) amount of air (in tonnes/d, round off to the nearest integer) required for complete burning of this waste, is _______.

Correct : 6963 to 6967
