11. A gravity settling tank is to be used to clean waste water from an oil refinery. The waste water contains 1% oil by volume as small droplets ranging in size from 100 to 1000 microns which will be removed from the water before the latter is to be discharged into the river. The tank is of rectangular section 2 ft wide by 4 ft deep with provisions for smooth continuous discharge of clean water and skimming off of oil at the surface of the discharge end. If 10,000 gal/min of waste water is to be cleaned of oil droplets, specific gravity of oil 0.87, the length of the settling tank is c. 5000 ft d. 4000 ft a. 4500 ft b. 4850 ft
