Equalization Tank/Holding Tank

Average hourly flow 1.5 m3/ hr.
Peak factor 2 (Taking into consideration surge load due to any unforeseen
circumstances)
Design flow rate Say, 3 m3/ hr.
Effective volume of the Equalisation Tank 20 m3
Size of the Equalisation Tank 4 m (L) X 2 m (B) X 2.5 m (H) [Including free board =
0.5 m]
MOC RCC
Installation of automatic controller for with low and high level indication is to be done
to avoid accidental spillage.
Provision of one number Twin Lobe Blower of 300 m3/ hr. capacity at 4000 mm of WC
for the purpose of agitating untreated effluent in the equalization tank with coarse
bubble diffuser are to be made. Total number of diffuser plate of size 300 mm X 300
mm X 2.5 mm passes 1.2 m3/ min/ m2 of air with 0.4 mm pore size will be about 16 in
numbers. More specific estimate will be provided latter.
