Required Volume of Flocculation Basin Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Volume of Tank = (Retention Time*Flow Rate of Secondary Effluent)/Time in Min Per Day
V = (T*Q_e)/T_m/d
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Volume of Tank - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Volume of Tank refers to the total capacity or size of a tank used for storing liquids, such as water, chemicals, or wastewater.
Retention Time - (Measured in Second) - Retention Time refers to the duration a substance remains within a particular system or environment before being removed or degraded.
Flow Rate of Secondary Effluent - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Flow Rate of Secondary Effluent refers to the volume of treated wastewater that exits the secondary treatment process in a wastewater treatment plant.
Time in Min Per Day - Time in Min Per Day is the ratio of time in min to time in day.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Retention Time: 5 Second --> 5 Second No Conversion Required
Flow Rate of Secondary Effluent: 0.54 Cubic Meter per Second --> 0.54 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Time in Min Per Day: 0.3 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V = (T*Q_e)/T_m/d --> (5*0.54)/0.3

Evaluating ... ...

V = 9

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

9 Cubic Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

9 Cubic Meter <-- Volume of Tank

What is Flocculation Basin?

The flocculation basin often has a number of compartments with decreasing mixing speeds as the water advances through the basin.The tank in which flocculation takes place is called flocculation basin.

How to Calculate Required Volume of Flocculation Basin?

Required Volume of Flocculation Basin calculator uses Volume of Tank = (Retention Time*Flow Rate of Secondary Effluent)/Time in Min Per Day to calculate the Volume of Tank, The Required Volume of Flocculation Basin is defined as the volume of flocculation basin when we have prior information of retention time, flow rate of secondary effluent and time in minute per day. Volume of Tank is denoted by V symbol.

How to calculate Required Volume of Flocculation Basin using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Required Volume of Flocculation Basin, enter Retention Time (T), Flow Rate of Secondary Effluent (Q_e) & Time in Min Per Day (T_m/d) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Required Volume of Flocculation Basin calculation can be explained with given input values -> 8.333333 = (5*0.54)/0.3.

FAQ

What is Required Volume of Flocculation Basin?

The Required Volume of Flocculation Basin is defined as the volume of flocculation basin when we have prior information of retention time, flow rate of secondary effluent and time in minute per day and is represented as V = (T*Q_e)/T_m/d or Volume of Tank = (Retention Time*Flow Rate of Secondary Effluent)/Time in Min Per Day. Retention Time refers to the duration a substance remains within a particular system or environment before being removed or degraded, Flow Rate of Secondary Effluent refers to the volume of treated wastewater that exits the secondary treatment process in a wastewater treatment plant & Time in Min Per Day is the ratio of time in min to time in day.

How to calculate Required Volume of Flocculation Basin?

The Required Volume of Flocculation Basin is defined as the volume of flocculation basin when we have prior information of retention time, flow rate of secondary effluent and time in minute per day is calculated using Volume of Tank = (Retention Time*Flow Rate of Secondary Effluent)/Time in Min Per Day. To calculate Required Volume of Flocculation Basin, you need Retention Time (T), Flow Rate of Secondary Effluent (Q_e) & Time in Min Per Day (T_m/d). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Retention Time, Flow Rate of Secondary Effluent & Time in Min Per Day and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Volume of Tank?

In this formula, Volume of Tank uses Retention Time, Flow Rate of Secondary Effluent & Time in Min Per Day. We can use 3 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Volume of Tank = (Power Requirement/((Mean Velocity Gradient)^2*Dynamic Viscosity))
Volume of Tank = (Power Requirement/((Mean Velocity Gradient)^2*Dynamic Viscosity))
Volume of Tank = (Power Requirement/((Mean Velocity Gradient)^2*Dynamic Viscosity))
