Question: A continuous horizontal flow setting basin is designed to treat a flow rate of 1 . 1 m 3 s ( 2 5 m g

A continuous horizontal flow setting basin is designed to treat a flow rate of 1.1m3s(25mgd) and remove floc particles with an average settling velocity of 3.6mh. This settling velocity was measured in a laboratory in a quiescent condition at 15C. Determine the area of the basins and the basin area that needs to be covered with tube settlers. The tube settlers consists of a series of 50-mm (2-in.) square honeycomb cells tilted at a 60 angle. The vertical height of the tube settlers is 0.6m. Assume a countercurrent flow pattern is used.
