Project 5 Extreme TSS Concentration

Data:
A void was set to be an auxillary sediment pond (ASP) to reduce extreme TSS
concentration by means of physical treatment as the primary option. Available
related information can be summarized as follows:

Depth of void (D)

Crest to crest width of void (W)
Length of void (L)
Inflow rate (Qin)
Inflow concentration (Cin)
Inflow specific mass of mine water (s)
Average particle diamater of sediment (d)
Shape factor of sediment particle ()
Average specific mass of water (w)
Kinematic viscosity of water ()
Gravity acceleration (g)
Average monthly rainfall (P)
Inflow TSS concentration from RO (CRO)

Distribution of density, TSS concentration and velocity of fluid flow within the
ASP can be modeled using following expression:

In the Project 05, volume of all parts or modulues (see Fig. 1) have been
assumed to be constant against time. For detailer description on the
modeling, please see the paper on mathematical modeling of extreme TSS
concentration reduction (annual meeting of Indonesian Mining Professional).

Give: estimated modeled overflow / outflow of TSS concentration !
