Volume Required For Settling

Vs = ts Q
ts = 1.5 – (0.3 log Q)
= 1.5 – (0.3 log 16.08)
= 1.138 days

Vs = ts Q
= 1.138 d x 16.08 m3/d
= 18.299 m3

Volume Required For Sludge Digestion

Vd = qs . td . p

qs = 0.001 m3/p/d for all waste


td = 33 days
p = Q (m3/d) / 0.2 (m3/p/d)
= 16.08 m3/d / 0.2 m3/p/d
= 80.4 p

Vd = qs . td . p
= 0.001 m3/p/d x 33 d x 80.4 p
= 2.653 m3

Volume Required For Sludge Storage

Vst = r.p.n

Assume, Desludging interval = 5 years


(n)

r = 0.04 m3/p/y

Vst = r.p.n
= 0.04 m3/p/y x 80.4 p x 5 y
= 16.08 m3

Working capacity of the single tank shall be greater than 1 m3 and Four parallel
less than 12 m3. Septic tanks
Since here at least 4 septic tanks need.

Volume of the
Volume of the septic tank = 45.072 m3 / 4 septic tank =
= 11.268 m3 11.268 m3

Assume,
Length-to-width ratio = 2
Width of the tank = 2m

Length / Width = 2 Length =


Length = 2x2m 2m
= 4m Width =
2m
Depth = Volume / (Width x Length) Depth = 1.4
= 11.268 m3 / (2 m x 4 m) m
= 1.4 m
Depth below the liquid level is satisfied.

Working Capacity = 11.268 m3

Minimum Surface Area = 11.268 / 3


= 3.76 m

Surface Area = 2mx4m


= 8 m3

Surface Area > Minimum Surface Area

Then Surface Area is satisfied.

Inlet And Outlet Arrangement

• Inlet fitting 100 mm in diameter.

• Inlet fitting = 20% x liquid depth


= (20 /100) x 1.4 m
Inlet fitting
= 0.28 m
height =
Take inlet fitting = 300 mm
0.3 m
Inlet fitting at 0.3 m below the liquid level of the tank.

• Outlet fitting = 300 mm


Out fitting
height =
Outlet fitting at 300 mm below the liquid level of the tank. 300 mm

• Invert of the outlet pipe is 75 mm below the invert of the inlet


pipe.

Access Opening
Opening
• Two access openings provided for inspection and desludging. diameter = 450
• Openings are circular and 450 mm in diameter. mm

Free Board

Air space = Tank volume x 10%


= 11.268 x 0.1
= 1.126 m3

Free Board = 1.126 3 /( 2 m x 4 m)


= 0.14 m

A minimum of 200 mm freeboard shall be provided between the Free board =


liquid level and the highest point on the ceiling of the tank. 200 mm
Then Free board = 200 mm

Chamber Partition

Assume,
Chamber partition opening height = 40% x Liquid depth
= 0.4 x 1.4 m Chamber
= 0.56 m partition height
= 1.8 m
So, chamber partition opening at a height of 1.8 m from the bottom
of the tank.

Opening is 100 mm. Vent pipe =


25mm
Vent Pipe

• Vent pipe in 25 mm.


• 50 mm of height extending outside the tank.
