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. No of rectangular clarifiers=2 Qaverage=20,000m^3/d Qpeak=50,000m^3/d channel width =6m side water depth=4m overflow rate at average flow=40m^3/m^2.d density of water=1000kh/m^3 density of...

A mass balance is performed for a treatment process consisting of a sedimentation tank followed by a mixing tank. First, 25097 m3/d of raw wastewater with solids concentration of 180 mg/l flows into the sedimentation tank. 97% of the incoming solids end up in the sludge. The effluent flows at a rate of 1040 m3/hr. Next, the effluent of the sedimentation tank enters the mixing tank where it is mixed with pure filtered water. Assume that the density is the...
