Question: A rectangular primary sedimentation basin is to be designed for an activated sludge treatment plant serving a municipality. The regulatory agency criteria for primary sedimentation basins used for activated sludge system are as follows: peak overflow rate (S) = 80 m3/d-m2, average overflow rate (S) = 40 m3/d-m2, peak solids loading = 50 kg/d-m2, peak weir loading = 372 m3/m-d. The average flow to the basin is 12 000 m3/d. Calculate the tank surface area in m2. Calculate the peak flow rate in m3/d. Calculate the total suspended solids concentration in the incoming flow to the basin (mg/L) Calculate the total weir length (m)

A constant velocity grit chamber is used in a small coastal community as a form of pre- treatment to incoming wastewater flows. The town regularly experiences a number of visitors during school holiday periods. If the usual wastewater flow is 10 ML per day, and the usual holiday period flow is 18 ML per day, design an appropriately sized grit chamber arrangement if the target grit has a diameter of 0.16 mm with a specific gravity of 2.75. Show your solutions for the following (but not necessarily in this order): 1. Determine the settling velocity for the target particle 2. Assuming a horizontal flow velocity of 0.32 m/s determine an appropriate overflow rate for the grit chamber 3. Determine an appropriate chamber length and cross sectional area and draw figures 4. Comment on how you could accommodate for the seasonal fluctuations in flows.
