Calculate the size of a rectangular sedimentation tanks to treat a flow of 12,000 m3/d. Adopt an overflow rate of 20 m3/m2-d and detention time of 4 hours. Use two units in parallel. What will be the minimum weir length required if the weir overflow rate is not to exceed 300 m3/m-d? Also check the horizontal velocity.
