QUESTION
Objective Question
In a sedimentation tank:
Answer
( Option A)
Surface area is of more importance than capacity.
Solution
Sedimentation is a natural process by which solids with higher density than the fluid in which they are suspended, settle
under the action of gravity.
For a given discharge with increase in surface area, (Q/BL) result in increase in the efficiency of the sedimentation tank
for the removal of the particles.
Efficiency of ideal sedimentation tank
Theoretically depth does not have any the efficiency of tank.
