Clariflocculator Calculations

This document provides design calculations for a 25 MLD clariflocculator in a water treatment plant. It includes parameters such as a design flow of 1141 cu/hour, a detention time in the flocculation zone of 30 minutes, and a required volume in the flocculation zone of 570.5 cu.m. Dimensions for the clariflocculator tank include a diameter of 35 meters and a total area including flocculation of 937 sqm. Operational parameters include a paddle rpm of 4 rpm and a velocity gradient of 20 sec-1.
