consider the following information for a rectangular primary clarifier
a)determine the required surface area(m^2),tank volume(m^3) and detention time (hrs) under both the average flow conditions and peak flow conditions
b) calculate and compare the scour velocity (m/s) and peak flow horizontal velocity (m/s)
Based on these two values,do you expect the particles to re-suspend during the clarification process.
