A wastewater treatment plant is being designed for a small, growing community. Average flow to a wastewater treatment plant is 4.0 MGD (million gallons per day) with peak flow 50% greater than the average. They expect to use two mechanically-cleaned bar screens so that if one is down for maintenance or a problem there will still be screening available. Determine the minimum wetted area (in ft2) for each bar screen assuming the minimum approach velocity is 2ft/s.
