Question

A municipal wastewater treatment plant has an average flow of 0.5 m³/s, and two aerated grit chambers are to be used in parallel. Dual units are to be provided for flexibility in operation, since one could be used, should the other require temporarily maintenance. During normal operation, both chambers would be used. Each chamber is to be a rectangular tank with spiral-roll flow. The peak flow is 2.4 times the average flow. The tank width is 2 times the depth, and the length is 4 times the width.

Determine tank width in meters, if the detention time is 3 min.
Determine the total air flow in m³/min, if 0.35 m³/min per meter of tank length is to be provided.
