Actual Solid Loading Rate of Circular Settling Tanks Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Solid Loading Rate = Solid Processed/Surface Area
SL_r = S_p/SA
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Solid Loading Rate - (Measured in Kilogram per Second Square Meter) - Solid Loading Rate is the amount of solids applied per unit area of a treatment process, such as a clarifier, typically measured in kilograms per square meter per day (kg/m²/day).
Solid Processed - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Solid Processed is the total quantity or volume of solids treated, settled, or removed from the wastewater over a specific period, typically measured in kilograms, tons, or cubic meters.
Surface Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Surface Area is the horizontal area available for sedimentation, impacting the tank's capacity to separate solids, typically measured in square meters (m²).

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Solid Processed: 80.01 Kilogram per Day --> 0.000926041666666667 Kilogram per Second (Check conversion here)
Surface Area: 4 Square Meter --> 4 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

SL_r = S_p/SA --> 0.000926041666666667/4

Evaluating ... ...

SL_r = 0.000231510416666667

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.000231510416666667 Kilogram per Second Square Meter -->20.0025 kilogram per Day Square Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

20.0025 kilogram per Day Square Meter <-- Solid Loading Rate

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
