DESIGN OF RECEIVING CHAMBER

Receiving chamber is the structure to receive the raw sewage collected through Under Ground Sewage
System. It is a rectangular-shaped tank constructed at the entrance of the sewage treatment plant. The
main sewer pipe is directly connected with this tank.

Design flow = 0.005 mᶟ/sec

Volume of receiving chamber (V) = flow x detention time

Assume the detention time = 180sec

= 0.005 (180)

= 0.9 mᶟ

Area of receiving chamber (A)

Assume depth d = 1.0m

𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒
A= 𝐷𝑒𝑝𝑡ℎ

0.9𝑚ᶟ

A = 0.9m²

Let L = 2*B, so A = 2B²

0.9 = 2B²
B = 0.671m, take B = 0.7m

L = 2*0.671 = 1.342 m, take L = 1.3m

DESIGN OF COARSE SCREEN

Design Criteria Used:

a. Velocity through rack at max flow = 0.9 m/s
b. Bar spacing (clear) = 2.5 cm
c. Provide two identical barracks, each capable of handling max flow conditions and each
equipped with mechanical cleaning device , 𝜃 = 60° from horizontal
d. Average discharge of sewage = 0.005 mᶟ/s
e. Peak discharge of sewage = Qave x PF
= 0.005 x 2
= 0.01 mᶟ/s

The velocity at average flow is not allowed to exceed 0.9 m/s

If 20 no of bars are provided, then no of openings = 21.

Width of screen= (no. of bars x thickness) + (no. of opening x spacing)
= (20 x 0.01) + (21 x 0.025)
= 0.725 m
Assuming depth as 0.9m including free board
Coarse screen channel is designed for the size of 0.725m x 0.9m
DESIGN OF EQUALIZATION TANK

Assumptions:

 The number of equalization used is 3.

 Detention time is 2-5 hours (Yung-Tse Hung et al., 2012). A typical detention time of 3 h is
chosen as the detention time needs to be long enough so as to effectively balance fluctuating
flows and to assist self-neutralization.
 A safety factor of 15% is considered to make sure that there is no overflow of wastewater
(Water Environment Federation, 2008).
 A freeboard of 0.5 m is considered (Karia. G.L et al., 2006).
 A depth of 2.7 m is considered with a 0.3 m of freeboard with a total of 3 m.

Volume = Flow rate (m3/h) × detention time (h)

= 18 × 2= 36 m3

Total volume = volume of tank + 15 % volume of tank

= 36 + (0.15 × 36) = 41.4 m3

41.4 𝑚3
Surface area/ tank = 3
= 13.8 m²

Assuming Length to Breadth ratio is 2:1

2× Breadth2 = 13.8 m2

Breadth = 2.63 m ‫ ﱠ‬3m

Length = 3m × 2 = 6 m
Dimension: 6 x 3 x 3

Inlet velocity = = = 1.73 m/h

3.2 Design Calculations

Flow Rate Calculations

Bulk of the wastewater from the condominium will be coming from residential units. The
residents are profiled to be mostly working in Makati. Business hours in Makati is 24 hours. Some of the
residents work in graveyard shifts, while some work during the day. Since the building is currently under
construction and there is no actual data, typical domestic wastewater parameters are used to determine
its flow dynamics and parameters pertinent to the design.

3.4.1 Screening and Equalization Tank

The entry point of all wastewater generated by the condominium into the treatment facility is
the equalization tank through a fabricated stainless steel bar screen. It is a physical unit operation that
removes large particles, such as paper, plastics, rags, that contribute to the clogging of pipes. It also
helps in preventing damage to the equipment, piping, and other appurtenances downstream. The bar
screen will block solids with diameter greater than 1.0 cm from entering the EQT. The removal rate of
the screen basket will be the basis for the calculation of BOD and TSS entering the equalization tank.
During screening, about 15% and 25% of BOD and TSS is removed respectively.

The EQT dampens the flowrate variations so that it is nearly constant for the next steps in the
treatment process. According to the Water and Wastewater Calculations Manual, 30% of BOD and
55% of the COD entering the equalization tank is retained. The other percentage of these values
passes through and enters the next process.
