    This document provides information on the settling and resuspension of particles in water. It gives equations for the settling velocity and critical resuspension velocity of particles based on properties like size, density, and flow conditions. Design criteria are presented for inlet channels, silt excluders, and primary sedimentation tanks to ensure particles of certain sizes settle out before water reaches subsequent treatment stages. Key design parameters like surface overflow rate and detention time are defined for sizing primary sedimentation tanks to fully remove particles as small as 20 micrometers.

    Primary Sedimentation Tank (PST): Design Theory


    Objective: To remove particles up to 20 m size completely.
    Vsc = 0.072 m s-1;

    Vs = 3.56 x 10-4 m s-1

    Detention Time (T) = average time for which water stays in the tank = V/Q
    V = Volume of the tank;

    Q = Flowrate

    Surface overflow rate (SOR) = Q/As; As = surface area of the tank


    For a rectangular tank, L = length, B = width; D = depth
    SOR = Q/(L.B);

    Detention time (T) = V/Q = D/Vs = (L.B.D)/Q

    Vs = Q/(L.B) = Q/As;
    In a rectangular sedimentation tank, the critical settling velocity is always numerically equal to the SOR
    For a 20 m particle, Vs = 3.56 x 10-4 m s-1, i.e., SOR = 30.77 m3/m2/d
    A PST is generally designed with SOR of 30-50 m3/m2/d
    VH = Q/(B.D); VH < Vsc
