Problem No. 3 A sedimentation tank with 600 m surface area is designed to treat 1100 m'/day of wat with influent suspended solid of 150 mg/l. Determine the effluent suspended solids. Due to population increase, the quantity of water increased to 2500 m'/day and it is intended to install another sedimentation tank in parallel with the existing one, determ the surface area of the second tank. The mass fraction remains and corresponding settling velocities of water sample is illustrated in the following table: percent 100 70 50 30 15 Vx 10 m/min 3.0 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5
