SOLUTION
1. To determine the volume of a septic tank,
refer to the Technical Data of information.
For a commercial establishment we find the
value of .57 cubic meters. Multuply:
200 persons x .057 = 11.4 cu. m.
2. Assume 1.2 meter width of the tank per 100
persons. For 200 individuals multiply:
200 x 1.2 = 2.40 meters width
L =
Volume
Width x depth
L =
11.4
2.40 x 1.50
L =
3.20 meters
L + L = 3.20 + 3.20

Total length = 4.80 meters

SOLUTION
1. Refer to Table 4-2. Under motel with bath,
toilet and kitchen, the waste per person per
day is 50 gallons. Multiplied by 100 persons is
5,000 gallons a day.
2. Using the formula: V = 1.125 + 0.75 Q
Where: V = Liquid volume of the tank in
gallons
Q= The daily sewage flow in gallons
1.125 and 0.75 is constant value.
