You are hired to design a rectangular sedimentation tank (length to width ratio = 3:1 and detention time ~ 2 h) for a new water treatment plant (flow rate: 0.04 m3/s; temperature: 20 ℃). Suspended particles can be removed when the overflow rate is higher than the settling velocities of particles. You have finished characterizing the influent particles (assuming all of them are spherical) and obtained the following results: Particle diameter (m) Particle density (kg/m3) Percentile 50 1.4 x 103...

2. [20] A small town has been directed to upgrade its primary wastewater treatment plant to a secondary plant that can meet an effluent standard of 25.0 mg/L BODs and 30.0 mg/L suspended solids. They have selected a completely mixed activated sludge system. The following data are available from the existing primary plant. Existing plant effluent characteristics Flow = 0.2000 m 3/s soluble BODs-80 mg/L Assume that the BOD5 of the suspended solids may be estimated as equal to 50%...
primary clarifier is to be designed for a municipal wastewater treatment plant with a flow of 4160 m/d and peak flow during the day of 3.10 times the average hourly flow. Pertinent data are: peak overflow rate 73.3 m/d.-m2, maximum peak weir loading 373 m3/d-m, and minimum tank depth 2.13 m. Determine: A. The clarifier diameter B. The side water deptlh C. The peak weir loading. Is it acceptable? D. The percent suspended solids removal on the basis of the...

Determine the following: 1-The effluent concentration of BOD in each unit. 2-Treatment efficiency of each unit. 3-Treatment efficiency of plant....
Diameter must equal .25 cm or please don’t answer! The specific gravity of the particles being removed in a settling tank is 1.001 at 10°C. The tank overflow rate is 172.8 m/m2.d. Find the diameter of the smallest particle that is 100% removed if is assumed that the particles are spherical. Answ: d-: 0.25 cm.
Question #2 (25 points) A water treatment facility has 4 primary sedimentation tanks that operate in parallel. Each tank has the following dimensions: L: 55m, (length), W: 10.7m (width) and H: 3.0 m (depth) The tank each have a design capacity of 0.4 m”/s. Answer the following questions, a.
