  1. Design a rectangular flocculation tank to treat a flow rate of 2.5 mgd. You need to

      determine the following:

  • length, width, and depth of the tank
  • horizontal velocity through the tank
  • draw a typical schematic

                Note: You need to consider more than one tank if the length would exceed 100ft

Design a horizontal flow grit chamber to remove grit (SG = 2.5) of size 0.2 mm and larger for a water temperature of 20°C. The average daily flow rate is 2.227 MGD. The chamber should be designed to treat the peak hourly flow. The flow peaking factor (i.e., ratio of peak hourly to average daily) is 2.5. Use a ratio of tank depth to width of 1.25. Use a safety factor of 1.35 (i.e., Adplan = Aplan ́ 1.35). Make...

A conventional, rectangular flocculation basin is 38 ft. wide, 90 ft. long and 16 ft. deep. The flow through the basin is 24 mgd and the water horsepower input by the reel type paddles is 15 hp. The dynamic viscosity of water is 2.73 E -5 lb/sec/ft2 at 50 degrees Fahrenheit. The flocculation basin in above is followed by four sedimentation basins which operate in parallel.   Each basin is 30 ft. wide, 240 ft. long and has an effective settling...
