    The sedimentation tank has a depth of 3m and a detention time of 25 minutes. Based on the settling curve data, the theoretical particle removal efficiency is 68%. The theoretical surface overflow rate is 172.8 m/day. To achieve equivalent results in a full-sized clarifier, the surface overflow rate would need to be adjusted downward to 115.2 m/day, which is only 66.7% of the theoretical value and would result in lower efficiency than desired.

    Sample Problem: From settling curves for flocculent Suspension 12.4.

    Determine the theoretical efficiency of a sedimentation tank with a depth equal to the test cylinder and a
    detention time of 25 min. What surface overflow rate be used in a full-sized clarifier in order to achieve
    equivalent results? The test cylinder has a depth of 3m (9.8 ft.). And the percent removal? Values for R1, R2,
    R3, R4 in percentage is 50, 60, 70, 80 respectively.

    Solution:
    Formulas:
    Let RT = Percent Removal
    𝑉 𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎(ℎ)
    Dt = =
    SOR = Surface overflow rate 𝑄 𝑄

    𝑄
    Dt = Detention time SOR = ->Theoretical
    𝐴

    𝑆𝑂𝑅 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑜𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙
    For R1: Adjusted SOR to full scale =
    1.5

    55+60 40 60+70 30 70+80 10 80+100 20


    RT = (100) + (100) + (100) + (100)
    2 2 2 2

    RT = 68 % percent removal of particles

    For Theoretical SOR:


    𝑄
    SOR = 𝐴 Adjusting SOR to full scale =
    172.8𝑚/𝑑𝑎𝑦
    1.5
    𝑉 𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎(ℎ)
    Dt = 𝑄 = Adjusting SOR to full scale = 115.2m/day
    𝑄

    𝐴(3)
    25min = 𝑄
    Since 115.2 m/day is only 66.67% of the Theoretical
    𝑄 3𝑚 SOR, therefore the efficiency is much lower than is
    = 25𝑚𝑖𝑛 = SOR
    𝐴
    normally desired.
    𝑚
    ∴ SOR =0.12 𝑚𝑖𝑛 = 172.8 m/day
