Question: [ 4 0 ] 4 . A batch settling test has been performed on an industrial wastewater having an initial suspended solids of 5 9

[40]4. A batch settling test has been performed on an industrial wastewater having an initial suspended solids of 597mgL to develop criteria for the design of a primary clarifier. The test column was 5in. in diameter and 8ft high, and sampling ports were located 2,4,6, and 8ft from the water surface in the column. The suspended solids remaining after the various sampling times are given below:
\table[[Depth, ft,Time (min)],[10,20,30,45,60],[394,352,243,182,148],[4,460,406,337,295,216],[6,512,429,376,318,306],[8,1018,1142,1208,1315,1405]]
The wastewater flow is 2.5 MGD.
Determine:
a. The design overflow rate and detention time if 65% percent of the suspended solids are to be removed. Use scale-up factors: 0.65 for overflow rate and 1.75 for detention time.
b. The diameter if a circular clarifier is used.
c. The design diameter if equipment is available in 5-ft increments of tank diameter.
d. The depth of the tank.
