Question
A water treatment plant is designed to treat
0.25 m/s of turbid water. Rectangular
horizontal flow settling units and rapid sand
filtration units are designed for the following
parameters.
Sedimentation Tank :
(1) Detention time
4 hrs.
%3D
(2) Over flow rate = 20 m/m2/d
%3D
(3) Length : Breadth
4: 1
Filters :
(1) Number of filters = 4
(2) Rate of filtration = 5 m2/m/hr
(3) Backwash rate
= 10 Um2/se as= 1A)
(4) Length : Breadth = 2: 1
(a) Determine the dimensions of the settling
tank
(b) Determine the length and breadth of the
filter unit
(c) Flow rate in the washwater trough, if two
troughs are provided in each filter
(d) Assuming ideal conditions of settling,
determine the percentage fraction of solids
with settling velocity 0.1 mm/s, removed in
settling tanks.
