A rectangular settling basin has a depth of 3 m, a length of 40 m and a width of 6 m. The water treated in the basin has a flow rate of 500 L/s and contains 50 mg/L of type a particles, 100 mg/L of type b particles and 180 mg/L of type c particles (particle type letters refer to the particles listed in problem 1). What is the suspended solids concentration in the effluent from the settling basin? Determine the overall percent removal of suspended solids from the water achieved by the settling basin.

Question
Transcribed Image Text:A rectangular settling basin has a depth of 3 m, a length of 40 m and a width of 6 m.
The water treated in the basin has a flow rate of 500 L/s and contains 50 mg/L of type
a particles, 100 mg/L of type b particles and 180 mg/L of type c particles (particle
type letters refer to the particles listed in problem 1). What is the suspended solids
concentration in the effluent from the settling basin? Determine the overall percent
removal of suspended solids from the water achieved by the settling basin.
