SIZING OF SEPTIC TANK
Date : Date :

I. SIZING OF SEPTIC TANK:

A. WASTE WATER FLOW RATE:

SEWAGE FLOW, Q = 50 cu.m. per day

SEPTIC TANK SIZE, Q = 38.625 cu.m. per day

B. CALCULATION OF SEPTIC TANK DIMENSIONS:

SEWAGE FLOW, Q = 50 cu.m. per day

SEPTIC TANK VOLUME = L x W x D

= 18.5185 x 1.5 x 1.8

= 50 cu.m. per day

Let : Depth, D = FB + SWD

Where:
FB = 0.3 m.
SWD = D + FB
= 1.8 + 0.3

= 2.1 m.
