1/Design a VIP latrine for a family consist of 6 people. Consider an accumulation
rate in dry soil, empting in 3 years. 2/ Design a septic tank system for your House with desludging interval every 3 years. Consider the following informations - The location (State, City, District, Block). - Soil type of your house. - Number of people serving by the system. - Water consumption is 140 lpcd. - Your average temperature in your place. - Disposal system. 3/ A wastewater treatment plant uses circular sedimentation tanks for primary clarification. The average design flow is 9,000 m 3/d, with a peaking factor of 2.5. The flow have a BOD5 of 220 mg/L and suspended solids concentration of 300 mg/L. The goal is to remove 35% BOD5 and 65% suspended solids in primary treatment. The diameter of the tank is 16 m and depth of 4.5 m, respectively. Effluent weirs are provided around the tank peripheral. Two tanks are used. Calculate the SOR, detention time, weir loading rates and the mass of solids removed in kg/day for the design flow. Note: the determined parameters should be design for peak flow conditions and compare them to values provided in design criteria.
