(20 pts) You need to design a circular sedimentation tank for a water treatment plant usi alum as coagulant. Here are some design criteria
Design flow rate: 3 MGD
Overflow rate: 650gpdft2(gpd: gallon per day)
Minimum hydraulic residence time: 3 hours
Please determine the dimensions, actual OFR and HRT for the tank. Use the table below reference
\table[[Parameter,Alum flocs,Iron flocs,Lime-soda flocs],[Hydraulic residence time, hrs,4-6,4-6,4-8],[Overflow rate, m3? day ?m2,20-33,29-41,29-61],[Overflow rate, gpd/ft2,500-800,700-1,000,700-1,000],[Weir loading rate, m3daym,150-220,200-270,270-320],[Weir loading rate, gpd/ft,12,000-18,000,16,000-22,000,22,000-26,000],[Rectangular tanks (L:W),2:1-4:1(all flocs)],[Rectangular tanks (L:D),10:1-20:1(all flocs)],[Rectangular tanks (depth, ft ),10-13(all flocs)],[Circular tanks (diameter, ft),15-250ft(all flocs)(in increments of 5 ft )],[Circular tanks (depth, ft),6-16 ft (all flocs)]]
