Subject: Commercial sparging

I don't believe I have ever read how much wort volume is typically  
collected from a mash in a commercial brewery. I suspect it is  
directly proportional to mass of the grist, but it may vary  
significantly for very large beers and very small beers. Does anyone  
reading the Digest have any figures?
