 Assignment (Group)
 Working in Group: calculation, presentation and discussion

Determine the design parameters: Depth (m), Diameter (m), Bottom

Slope and Rotation Speed of rake arm of a primary
thickener/settler/sedimentation tank to separate solid particles of
the followings through both natural and hindered settlings:
A calcium silicate industry releases 2-5 m3/min liquid effluent
containing 5% weight of solid particles (p = 2,650 kg/m3 with a
mean particle diameter (dp) of 0.12 mm. The approximate bulk
density of the effluent bulk density is 1.234 kg/m3. Assume the
shape of the solid particles is approximately parallel epipedum. For
hindered settling consider a cloud of particles settling in a water
column. Settling particles occupy 30 % per cent of the total volume
of the sedimentation tank so that the volumetric concentration of
solids Cv = 0.30
Primary Thickener Design Parameters

 Depth (m) 3-5 m

 Diameter (m) 3 - 170 m
 Bottom Slope 0.06 to 0.16
(3.5° to 10°)
Menentukan Kecepatan Fluida

Q = 3 m3/min
4m

D = 90 m
Q = A . Vf
Keterangan : Q = Debit air
A = Luas lubang pipa
Vf = Kecepatan Fluida

Q = 3 m3/min = 3 : 60 m3/sec = 0,05 m3/sec

A = 2 = 6361,73 m2

Q = A . Vf
0,05 = 6361,73 . Vf
Vf = 7,86 x 10-6 m/s

 Menentukan Kecepatan Mengendap

Vs =

Dimana:
vs = terminal settling velocity (m/s)
g = gravitational constant (m/s2)
s = density of the particle (kg/m3)
 = density of the fluid (kg/m3)
dp = particle diameter (m)
Cd = Drag Coefficient (dimensionless)
Vs =

Mencari Diameter Tabung

d = 3,121 meter
Mencari Hindered velocity

Vh = (1-Cv)4,65 x Vs

Vh = (1-0,3)4,65 x 1,0073 x 10-5

Vh = 1,918 x 10-6 m/s

2,47 x 10-5 = 2 . 3,14 . f . 3,121/2

f = 2,52 x 10-6 rotation per sec
f = 0,00015 rpm
