Question: 8 . 8 An impeller - powered flocculation basin is to be designed for a tertiary treatment plant for a flow of 9 4 ,

8.8 An impeller-powered flocculation basin is to
be designed for a tertiary treatment plant for a flow
of 94,600m3d. The plant is to employ alum coagu-
lation, and pertinent data for the flocculation basin
are as follows: detention time =20min,G=35s-1
(at 10C),GT=10,000 to 100,000, width =1.25
times depth, length = twice width, no baffling,
number of impellers =2, number of blades per
impeller =6 pitched at 45, impeller diameter =
30% of basin width, KL=70.0, and KT=1.65.
Determine:
a. Basin dimensions.
b. Impeller diameter.
c. Speed of impellers in rpm.
