A local municipality is tasked with managing the sediment from its three streams originating from three different catchments. The sediment generated for each catchment is shown below as well as the annual stream runoff for each catchment. The municipality would like to install a sedimentation pond downstream of all three catchmentsthat requires cleaning every three months. Assuming that all the sediment settles in the pond, determine the size of the pond (in m3) making provision for an additional 10% of sediment in the event of flooding. The density of the sediment is 1.2 tons/m3
A primary clarifier for a municipal wastewater treatment plant is to be designed for an average flow of 7570 m3/d. the regulatory agency criteria for primary clarifiers are as follows: peak overflow rate = 89.6 m3/m2.d, average overflow rate = 36.7 m3/m2d, minimum side water depth = 3 m, and peak weir loading rate = 389 m3/m.d.
