Learn to Design a Circular Sedimentation Tank

Hope you all enjoyed the last tutorial about the rectangular sedimentation tank design. Now moving on to the next tutorial about the same aspect but the shape is different here. Yes, we are going to discuss the circular sedimentation tank design method in this latest video.

Circular Tank:
Circular sedimentation tanks are used to keep incessant vertical flow type sedimentation tanks. In this kind of tank influent is delivered through the central pipe of the tank and as a result, radial flow occurs.

Circular tank

Problem:

In the design calculation, we will provide a solution to the following problem.
Design a Circular sedimentation tank if the capacity of the tank is 10000 m^3/day. Water will stay for 2 hours in the tank (detention period)
