Secondary Clarifier
An activated sludge plant has a design flow (average daily flow) of 11 MGD. Return sludge ratio R = 0.35. Determine the dimensions of final settling tanks. Check weir overflow rate.
The design parameters:
number of tank = 4.
Use circular tanks.
MLSS = 3000 mg/L
VSS/TSS = 0.80
overflow rate = 1000 gpd/ft2,
detention time = 2 hr
weir overflow rate = 10,000 – 15,000 gpd/ft
solid loading rate (lb/d/ft2) = 50 lb/d/ft2
