A water treatment plant operates two circular sedimentation basins in parallel to remove suspended solids and treats a total flow of 12 mgd. Each basin is center-fed (i.e., water comes into the reactor in the middle and radiates toward the outside of the basin) and the solid-free water exits the reactor over weirs that are located 2 feet within the basin perimeter. Each tank has a diameter of 65 feet with a water depth of 12 feet. 2. What is the detention time in each clarifier (in minutes)? b. What is the overflow rate for each clarifier (in ft/ft?-d and gpd/ft?)? What is the weir loading rate for each clarifier (in ft'/ft-d and gpd/ft)? d. Calculate the values for parts a-c if only one clarifier is in service.

Sedimentation is the process of allowing particles in suspension in water to settle out of the suspension under the effect of gravity. A water treatment plant has four clarifiers treating 1.5 MGD of water. Each clarifier is 4.88 m wide, 24.4 m long, and 4.57 m deep. Determine the following: (i) The detention time (ii) The overflow rate marks (iii) The horizontal velocity (iv) The weir loading rate assuming the weir length is 2.5 times the basin width.
