Question: Two primary settling basins are 2 5 m in diameter each with 2 . 5 m side water depth. Single effluent weirs are located on

Two primary settling basins are 25m in diameter each with 2.5m side water depth. Single effluent weirs are located on the peripheries of the tanks. For a water flow of 30,000m3d-1 that is equally divided among the two tanks, calculate: (i) surface area and volume; (ii) overflow rate in m3m-2d-1; (iii) detention time in hours; and (iv) weir loading in m3m-1d-1. Assume the settling basins to be circular with cone shaped bottom having a slope of 1 vertical to 12 horizontal.
