A town is required to treat 4.2 m3/min of raw water for daily domestic supply. Flocculating particles are to be produced by chemical coagulation.
A column analysis indicated that an overflow rate of 0.2 mm/s will produce satisfactory particle removal in a settling basin at a depth of 3.5 m. The required surface area (in m2) for settling is
Consider the following statements about sedimentation tanks and coagulation:
1. In a continuous flow type sedimentation tank, the particles to be removed should have a settling velocity greater than the surface loading rate.
2. In a continuous flow type sedimentation tank, the particles which are settling move vertically down to the bottom.
3. Coagulant added to water containing alkalinity results in the formation of its hydroxide compound.
Which of these statements are correct?
