Equalization is a very important process in many treatment systems to equalize or stabilize the
inlet flow rate or inlet flow quality for the following treatment units. In a water treatment plant, an
equalization tank of 1000 m3 is well mixed and it is initially fully filled with a wastewater
contained a non-volatile and inert pollutant “A” at a concentration of 100 mg.L-1. Two other
wastewater streams, containing “A” with Q1=25m3.h-1, c1=200 mg.L-1 and Q2=15m3.h-1, c2=80
mg.L-1, are to be introduced into the equalization tank, and simultaneously an outlet flow from the
equalization tank with Q3=80m3.h-1 will be taken and fed to the following treatment process.
