Surface Area of Circular Settling Tank Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Surface Area = (Peak Discharge/Surface Loading Rate)
SA = (Q_p/S_l)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

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).
Peak Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Peak Discharge is the maximum volume flow rate passing a particular location during an event.
Surface Loading Rate - (Measured in Kilogram per Second Square Meter) - Surface Loading Rate is the volume of liquid applied per unit surface area of a treatment process, such as a clarifier.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Peak Discharge: 37.5 Million Liters per Day --> 0.434027777777778 Cubic Meter per Second (Check conversion here)
Surface Loading Rate: 0.108 Kilogram per Second Square Meter --> 0.108 Kilogram per Second Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

SA = (Q_p/S_l) --> (0.434027777777778/0.108)

Evaluating ... ...

SA = 4.01877572016461

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4.01877572016461 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

4.01877572016461 ≈ 4.018776 Square Meter <-- Surface Area
