Cive 514 Exam Cheat Sheat

Example
• Design the settling tank (s) for Serowe water treatment plant expansion using design over flow
rate of 35 m/d.
• Vo was determined from 2.0 m column experiment
• The maximum day design flow is 0.5 m3/s.
• Assume a water temperature of 10˚C
Solution
• Surface area:
• Q = 0.5 m3/s = 0.5 m3/sx86400s/d = 43200 m3/d.
• AS = Q/Vo = 43200 m3/d/(35 m/d) = 1234 m2.
• Use a trial of 6 tanks:
• Area of each tank: 1234/6 = 206 m2.
• Assume width of 4.0 m
• Check length to width ratio
• L = 206/4.0 = 51.0 m
• L/w = 51/4 = 13 or 13: 1 since its larger than ratio of 6:1 is acceptable
• Trial depth
• Start with 2.0 m which was the column depth
• Make 0.5 m allowance of sludge depth, and 0.5 m of freeboard making a total depth of 3.0 m.
• Side water depth = 2.0 m
• If sludge zone is not counted the depth of the water is less than the design recommendation of
2.0 m
• Check velocity:
• V = Q/A = 0.5m3/s/(6 tanks x2m x4) = 0.0104 m/s within (0.005 – 0.018 m/s range)
• Provide launders for 1/3 of the tank length = 51/3 = 17 m.
• Place them at 1.0 m intervals on centre so that there are three in the tank (Launders typically
consist of troughs with v notch or square notch weir plates which should be carefully levelled to
allow the flow to exit the clarifier in a distributed and even manner)
•
• Check weir loading rate:
43200
• WL = = 71 m3/d.m
(6 tanks)¿ ¿
• WL is below limit of 250 m3/d. m and is acceptable
Flocculators
• Flocculation tanks are to be designed for a total flow rate of 49200 m3/d.
• The following conditions apply to the design:
• Water mean detention time of 45 min, basin depth of 3.5 m, 3 parallel trains of flocculators
(each train receives one third of the total flow)
• 3 flocculation stages of the same dimensions for each train (so a total of 9 flocculators)
• The first stage G is 50/s, the second stage G is 35/s and the third stage G is 20/s
• Determine the dimensions of the tank for each stage as well as the overall dimensions in m
Solution
• Volume = tR*Q
• Detention time for each stage = 45/3 or 15 minutes
• Q for each train = 49200/3 = 16400 m3/d.
• Volume for each tank = 15 min*(16400m3/d)(d/1440min) = 171 m3.
• OR 45X16400/1440 = 512.5 m3 and volume for each of the three tanks is 512.5/3 = 171 m3.
• Overall volume = 9* volume of tank = 9*171 = 1534 m3.
• Depth must be 3.5 m, then area must be: 171/3.5 = 48.9 m2.
• Overall area: Voverall/3.5 = 1534/3.5 = 438.3 m2.
• Any combination of length and width giving the above square area is ok as long as L/W is below
11.
• E.g. individual tank of 7x7x3.5 m
Overall size 21x21x3.5 m
• Average Gt value for overall process
• G average = (50/s+35/s+20/s)/3 = 35/s
• Gt = 35/s*45 min(60s/min) = 94500
• Power required for each stage, in Kw:
• P = μVg2 = 1.307 x 10-3 kg/m-sx171 m3(G)2
• Stage 1: 1.307 x 10-3 kg/m-sx171 m3(50)2 = 559 W = 0.56 Kw
• Stage 2: 1.307 x 10-3 kg/m-sx171 m3(35)2 = 0.27 kW
• Stage 2: 1.307 x 10-3 kg/m-sx171 m3(20)2 = 0.089 kW
Example
• Design a flocculation basin by determining the basin volume, tank dimensions, required input
power, impeller diameter, and its rotational speed using the following parameters and the
manufacturers data.
• Design flow rate = 11.5 x 103 m3/d
• Detention time, t = 30 minutes
• Three flocculator compartments with G = 70, 50, 30/s
• Water temp = 5˚C
• Place impeller at 1/3 water depth
• Manufacturers data:
Impelle Impeller diameter (m) K

Axial 0.8 1.4 2.0 0.31
• Two flocculation basins are provided for redundancy at the design flow rate.
• The maximum day flow rate is assumed to be twice the average day flow rate.
11.5x103 m 3 /d
• Q= = 8.0 m3/min
1440 min/d
• Q = through each basin will be 8/2 = 4.0 m3/min
• Volume of each basin, V = t*Q = 30 min x 4.0 m3/min = 120 m3.
• Each basin is divided into 3 compartments is 120/3 = 40 m3.
• With recommended water depth range of 3 to 4.5 m, assume water depth of 4.0 m
• Surface are = 40 m3/4.0 m = 10.0 m2.
• Choose a rectangular plan with length equal to width
• L = W: L*W = 10 m2
L = √ 10 , hence L=3.16 m
• Equivalent diameter:
πD 2
• A=

• 10 m2 =

• D = 3.57 m
• Required power for each compartment
• G=

μV
• At 5˚C, μ = 1.519 x 10-3
• P1 = G2 x μV = 702x1.519 x 10-3x 40 = 297.72 w
• P2 = G2 x μV = 502x1.519 x 10-3x 40 = 152 w
• P2 = G2 x μV = 302x1.519 x 10-3x 40 = 55 w
• Because to efficiency of transfer of motor power to water power is about 80%, motor power for
each compartment should be :
• 1) 297.72/0.8 = 372.2 W
• 2) 152/0.8 = 190 W
• 3) 55/0.8 = 69 W
