A water treatment plant has four clarifiers treating 8.0 MGD (0.350 m3/sec) of water. Each clarifier is 16 ft (4.88 m) wide, 80 ft (24.4 m) long, and 15 ft (4.57 m) deep. Determine:
A. The detention time (hr)
B. Overflow rate (gpd/ft2)
C. Horizontal velocity (ft/min)
D. Weir loading rate (gpd/ft) assuming the weir is 2.5 times the basin width
