A grit chamber of rectangular cross-section is to be designed to remove particles with diameter of 0.25 mm and specific gravity of 2.70. The terminal settling velocity of the particles is estimated as 2.5 cm/s. The chamber is having a width of 0.50 m and has to carry a peak wastewater flow of 9720 m³/d giving the depth of flow as 0.75 m. If a flow- through velocity of 0.3 m/'s has to be maintained using a proportional weir at the outlet end of the chamber, the minimum length of the chamber (in m, in integer) to remove 0.25 mm particles completely

trapezoidal section constant velocity horizontal flow grit channel is discharging unacceptable amounts of grit into the primary facultative pond of a stabilization pond. In addition the channel overtops regularly with peak wet weather flow during normal rain storms. An initial investigation confirmed levels of grit present in the particular wastewater to be within normal loading levels. Furthermore, the provision for grit storage capacity in the channel is adequate for the operational cleaning-out cycle employed.According to the authorities, the likely cause of the grit discharge problem is that the channel length is inadequate for settling out the nominal particle size required.Assume 1. Average dry weather flow (ADWF) = 5000m3/day 2. Peak dry weather flow (PDWF) =13000 m3 /day 3. Peak wet weather flow (PWWF) = 15600 m3 /day 4.
