Hello Would you please solve this question. I got the results but it is incorrect , 20,000 m^3, 10,000 m^3, 0.05 m^3 all are incorrect.
A municipal wastewater treatment plant uses a circular clarifier. It receives 12 million gallons per day of wastewater. The clarifier radius is 25 ft and the depth is 29 ft. What is the detention time in the clarifier? What is the overflow rate? (1 cubic foot = 7.48 gallons)
A rapid sand filter is to be provided in a water treatment plant, to process 60 MLD of water for a town. There is a provision of allowing 3% of the filtered water for storage to meet the backwashing requirement. Rate of filtration for the filter system is 20 m3/m2/hr. Each day 20 min of backwashing is done. Then, A Flow of water during filtration is laminar flow and flow of water in case of backwashing is turbulent. B The area of filter unit is 128.75 m2 C The area of filter unit is 130.55 m2 Correct Option Rapid sand filter is less efficient in removing bacteria. Correct Option
