Calculate the weir loading rate for the three sedimentation tanks.
1.
b = 1.5m
a = 12m2
2.
b = 20m
a = 600m2
3.
b = 6m
a =30m2
Convert m3 per sec per m2 into L per sec per m2

Answers:
1. surface loading = 0.0083
2. surface loading = 0.0167
3. surface loading = 0.125
Now convert m3 per sec per m2
into L per sec per m2
1 = 1.038 L per sec per m2
2 = .557 L per sec per m2
3 = 25 L per sec per m2
