Example 9.18. A rectangular sedimentation tank following coagulation- flocculation is to treat a flow of 3000 m³ / day with a detention time of 6 hours. It is to be hand cleaned of sludge at 6 week intervals. The suspended solids concentration of the water is reduced from 250 mg/L to 5 mg/L by coagulation- flocculation. The settled sludge includes 40 mg/L (based on water flow) of metallic precipitate and has a moisture content of 85% and specific gravity of 1.24. Determine the volume of sludge produced between cleanings and the basic dimensions of the tank if the water depth just before cleaning is 3 m and its length is twice its width. (GATE 1995)

Storm Sewers and Detention

The storm drains system transports rainwater or stormwater and other runoff from roads, parking lots, and roof downpipes directly to nearby creeks, rivers, or the sea without any treatment.

Question

Example 9.18. A rectangular sedimentation tank following coagulation-
flocculation is to treat a flow of 3000 m³ / day with a detention time of 6 hours. It
is to be hand cleaned of sludge at 6 week intervals. The suspended solids
concentration of the water is reduced from 250 mg/L to 5 mg|L by coagulation-
flocculation. The settled sludge includes 40 mg/L (based on water flow) of
metallic precipitate and has a moisture content of 85% and specific gravity of
1.24. Determine the volume of sludge produced between cleanings and the basic
dimensions of the tank if the water depth just before cleaning is 3 m and its
length is twice its width.
