A chemically enhanced primary treatment (CEPT) study was conducted on a coagulated industrial wastewater sample. The objective was to design a basin to remove 80% TSS at a side water depth of 3.5 m. A batch column test was performed in a 4-m-tall and 15-cm-diameter column. The initial concentration of TSS in the coagulated sample was 200 mg/L. The sampling ports were 0.5 m apart, the lowest port being 3.5 m below the water surface to simulate the design side water depth of the basin. The samples were withdrawn from each port at 10-min interval. TSS was determined in each sample and the data matrix is given in Table 9.1. Provide the following information (a) write the step-by-step experimental procedure and (b) determine the design values of detention time and overflow rate for 80% removal.
