Peaking Factor using Peak Discharge in Circular Settling Tanks Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Peaking factor = (Peak Discharge/Average Daily Load)
f = (Q_p/q)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Peaking factor - Peaking factor is the ratio of the maximum flow to the average daily flow in a water system.
Peak Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Peak Discharge is the maximum volume flow rate passing a particular location during an event.
Average Daily Load - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Average Daily Load is a customer's average daily consumption of water in MLD.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Peak Discharge: 4 Cubic Meter per Second --> 4 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Average Daily Load: 2.1 Cubic Meter per Second --> 2.1 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

f = (Q_p/q) --> (4/2.1)

Evaluating ... ...

f = 1.9047619047619

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.9047619047619 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.9047619047619 ≈ 1.904762 <-- Peaking factor

Design Surface Loading Rate given Surface Area of Circular Settling Tank

Go Surface Loading Rate = (Peak Discharge/Surface Area)

Average Daily Load using Peak Discharge in Circular Settling Tanks

Go Average Daily Load = (Peak Discharge/Peaking factor)

Peaking Factor using Peak Discharge in Circular Settling Tanks

Go Peaking factor = (Peak Discharge/Average Daily Load)

Peak Discharge given Surface Area of Circular Settling Tank

Go Peak Discharge = (Surface Area*Surface Loading Rate)

Surface Area of Circular Settling Tank

Go Surface Area = (Peak Discharge/Surface Loading Rate)

Solids Processed given Actual Solid Loading Rate

Go Solid Processed = (Solid Loading Rate*Surface Area)

Assumed Solid Loading Rate of Circular Settling Tanks

Go Solid Loading Rate = (Maximum Solids/Surface Area)

Peak Discharge in Circular Settling Tanks

Go Peak Discharge = Average Daily Load*Peaking factor

Total Settling Tank Surface Area given Actual Solid Loading Rate

Go Surface Area = Solid Processed/Solid Loading Rate

Actual Solid Loading Rate of Circular Settling Tanks

Go Solid Loading Rate = Solid Processed/Surface Area

Maximum Solids given Solid Loading Rate

Go Maximum Solids = Surface Area*Solid Loading Rate

Surface Area given Solid Loading Rate

Go Surface Area = Maximum Solids/Solid Loading Rate

Influent Flow Rate given Return Activated Sludge Flow Rate

Go Average Daily Influent Flow Rate = (Return Activated Sludge/1.25)

Return Activated Sludge Flow Rate

Go Return Activated Sludge = 1.25*Average Daily Influent Flow Rate
