Primary Sedimentation Tank: 42 M 14 M 14 M 5m

This document provides design parameters for primary sedimentation tanks and conventional activated sludge systems. For primary sedimentation tanks, the key parameters are a detention time greater than 2 hours, a surface overflow rate less than 45 cubic meters per square meter per day, and a weir loading rate less than 150 cubic meters per meter per day. Tank dimensions should have a water depth greater than 3 meters and a floor slope of 1:12. For conventional activated sludge systems, important design considerations include an organic loading rate of 0.25-0.5 kilograms of biochemical oxygen demand per kilogram of mixed liquor suspended solids per day, a hydraulic retention time of 6-16 hours, an oxygen requirement of
