Question: After exiting the coagulation / flocculation stage, 1 2 7 0 0 0 USG / d of a floc suspension in water is sent to

After exiting the coagulation/flocculation stage, 127000 USG/d of a floc suspension in water is sent to a clarifier for sedimentation at 11\deg C. The clarifier is rectangular, 24' long by 16' wide, and 11.5' deep. The composition of the stream is as follows:
15.5 w/v% flocs
1.2 w/v% residual alum coagulant, pH =8.8
Chlorine disinfection is performed in the clarifier during the sedimentation process. The detention time for the solids in the clarifier is the same as the chlorine contact time. What residual (free chlorine) concentration, in ppm, would be expected in the water?
