Question 1.13


Height of the settling interface against time graph. Batch settling curve
Using the vessel area from the last question (1650 m2), it is now possible to work out the vessel height in order to accommodate the full suspension volume from the start of the sedimentation (1350 m3).

Under these conditions the new vessel height will be (m):

  a) 4.02
b) 2.17
c) 0.82
d) 0.28
