For an SBR process, the sludge takes 45 minutes to settle and the depth of liquid in the reactor is 40% of the depth of the reactor after draw-off to prevent disturbing the settled sludge. The draw-off period takes an additional 20 minutes after the settle face. An idle time of 10 minutes is to be allowed. What is the required volume of each of the tanks in 2-tank and 3-tank SBR systems to handle a flow of 55000 M cubed per day to provide a react time of 60 minutes?
