You are trying to remove 10 µm diameter particles in a water treatment plant. The water is at 20 oC and the particle density is 1.2 g/mL. The plant treats 0.4 m3/s of water. It is proposed to use a 3.5 m deep, rectangular sedimentation tank with a length to width ratio of 5:1. What is the minimum required width (in meter) of the basin?

A rectangular horizontal-flow sedimentation basin in a conventional water treatment plant has been designed to treat a flow of 50,000 m3 /day. It has a length = 80 m, width = 20 m, and depth = 3.6 m. For this problem, assume temperature = 20 °C (density of water = 103 kg/m3 and viscosity = 10-3 kg/m·s) and laminar flow. a. What is the hydraulic detention time? Does this meet the typical criteria for this type of sedimentation basin? b....

Design high-rate sedimentation tank(s) for a water treatment plant using plate settlers. 1. Design the rectangular sedimentation tank(s), including launders and sludge collection mechanism. 2. Design the countercurrent plate settlers, including length, angle, and distance between plates (to achieve 100% removal of the target particle described below). 3. Draw a cross-section of the sedimentation tank with dimensions, indicating the concrete walls, main pipes, launders, plate settlers. 4. Quantify/discuss the improvement(s) that may result from installing the plate settlers. Inputs: Design...

A new water treatment plant will treat a maximum flowrate of 95,000 m3 /d. You have been asked to design the chlorine contact basin. The plant must achieve 0.5 log inactivation of Giardia lamblia cysts with chlorine. The CT value for 0.5 log removal at the design conditions is 36 mg-min/L. The chlorine residual leaving the basin will be 1.5 mg/L. a. Calculate the required volume of the chlorine contact basin if the basin is baffled so that the t10/τ...
