The horizontal component is called the ‘flow through velocity’, (vh), while the
vertical component is known as ‘settling velocity’, (vs).
As surface loading is the hydraulic flow applied per unit surface area of the
tank, it is also known as hydraulic loading.

General Design Criteria for PST:
12500 𝑚3/𝑑
At peak flow conditions the overflow rate is = = 87 m3/m2/d
143 𝑚2
429 m3
And the detention time at peak flow is = = 0.82 hr. = 49 mins.
12500 m3/d
From Fig. the suspended solids removal efficiency drops to about 38% for peak flow
conditions.
