One other method of design is to use equalization basins ahead of the sedimentation basins. In this case, the inflow would be the equalized flow. There should be no need for recirculation, because only one flow rate is introduced into the sedimentation basin. Design of equalization basins was discussed in Chapter 3.

Slurries exhibiting Type II behavior ate sufficiently thick sed flocculent that the solids tend to settle as a mass, giving a rather sharp line of demarcation between the clear liquid overflow and the settling solids. For such systems the design is normally controlled by the thickening capability of the besin, although the basin design must be adequate to provide sufficient overflow ares to clarify the liquid overflow.

During storms, the first water to fall washes the ground and is the most polluted. The flow may be from 500 to 3000 m -h Since it is not feasible to treat this amount at its instantaneous flow rate, the water must be stored in a storm basin designed on the basis of historical meteorological statistics. 

Clarifier design has traditionally been based on the principle of dilute sedimentation. The design calculations of a clarifier include feed well design, sedimentation basin design (providing enough residence time for the separation), and solid flux (G). The other design parameters, such as the torque requirement and clarifier area, are similar to those of the thickeners, which have been discussed in the previous section (3.2.1).
