    Design of Flocculation Tank.

    Question: A water treatment plant is being designed to process 50,000 m^3/d of water. Jar testing and pilot plant analysis
    indicate that an alum dosage of 40 mg/L with flocculation at a Gt value of 4x10^4 produces optimal results at the expected
    water temperatures of 15 degrees celcius. Determine the monthly alum requirement?

    Note: Please show step by steo calculations and solution. Thank you.

    Given Data

    Capacity of Treatment plant to Treat water : 50,000 m3/day

    Alum dosage : 40 mg/l

    Solution

    Calculation of Alum Requirement (Monthly)

    Convert Alum dosage in kg/m3

    1 mg/l = 10 -3 kg/m3

    So 40 mg/l = 0.04 kg/m3

    hence Alum Dosage is 0.04 kg/m3

    Capacity of Treatment Plant to treat water in 1 Month

    = Capacity of Treatment Plant per day * 30

    = 50,000 x 30 = 1,500,000 m3/Month

    Alum Required : Alum Dosage x Water Treated per Month

    = 0.04 x 1,500,000

    = 60,000 kg/Month

    Hence Amount of Alum required per month is 60,000 Kg.
