Problems 6.9

Question 1.8


Height of the settling interface against time graph. Batch settling curve
So, we have 527 m3 of sediment and if we use the theoretical area of 10700 m3 - which is for the 12.7 cm high tank, we can work out the height of the sediment when the characteristic meets the settling curve. Firstly, we need the height of sediment.

The height required for the sediment is (m):

a) 0.049
b) 129
c) 0.129
d) 0.00013
