Course : Water Treatment Plant Design (RE184603)
Question:
1. Prepare design criteria (Surface area and detention time)
2. Determine the design criteria
3. Calculate the surface area of the tank and the total land
4. Calculate the volume of the tank
Known:
Q = 8 m3/s (NRP : 008)
Answers:
1. Intake Unit
Intake tank = 1 tank
Flowrate = 8 m3/s
Detention time = 20 minutes
Depth =3m
Volume = Q x Td
= 8 m3/s x 20 minutes x 60 seconds/minutes
Volume = 9,600 m3
2. Presedimentation Unit
Presedimentation tank = 1 tank
Flowrate = 8 m3/s
Detention time = 3 hours
Depth =4m
Volume = Q x Td
= 8 m3/s x 3 hours x 3600 seconds/hour
Volume = 86,400 m3
Dimension = assume L = 2W
LxW = Surface area
2W2 = 21,600 m2
W (width) = 104 m
L (length) = 2W
= 2 (104)
L (length) = 208 m
3. Sedimentation Unit
Sedimentation tank = 1 tank
Flowrate = 8 m3/s
Detention time = 2 hours
Depth =6m
Volume = Q x Td
= 8 m3/s x 2 hours x 3600 seconds/hour
Volume = 57,600 m3
Dimension = assume L = 2W
LxW = Surface area
2W2 = 9,600 m2
W (width) = 69 m
L (length) = 2W
= 2 (69)
L (length) = 138 m
Dimension = assume L = 2W
LxW = Surface area
2W2 = 53.3 m2
W (width) = 5.20 m
L (length) = 2W
= 2 (5.20)
L (length) = 10.40 m
Volume = Q x Td
= 4 m3/s x 30 minutes x 60 seconds/minute
Volume = 7,200 m3 (each tank)
Dimension = assume L = 2W
LxW = Surface area
2W2 = 1,800 m2
W (width) = 30 m
L (length) = 2W
= 2 (30)
L (length) = 60 m
6. Filtration Unit
Filtration unit = 1 unit
Flowrate = 8 m3/s
Filtration rate = 9 m3/m2/hour = 9 / 3,600
= 0.0025 m3/m2/second
Dimension = assume L = 2W
LxW = Surface area
2W2 = 3,200 m2
W (width) = 40 m
L (length) = 2W
= 2 (40)
L (length) = 80 m
6. Reservoir Unit
Reservoir tank = 1 tank
Flowrate = 8 m3/s
Capacity = 20% of Q = 1.6 m3/s
Detention time = 8 hours
Depth =6m
Volume = Q x Td
= 8 m3/s x 8 hour x 3600 second/hour
Volume = 230,400 m3
Dimension = assume L = 2W
LxW = Surface area
2W2 = 38,400 m2
W (width) = 138.6 m
L (length) = 2W
= 2 (138.6)
L (length) = 277.2 m
