Explanation / Answer

a. estimate the wastewater flow assuming the typical flow per student (Table 1), and

wastewater flow = 75 gal per student per day

total wastewater flow from 50 students per day = 50*75=3750 gal per day

b. determine the minimum size of septic tank (gal) that would be required assuming a 48 hour retention time.

total wastewater flow from 50 students in 2 days =3750 * 2 = 7500 gal

so the tank should be of size 7500 gal

b. determine the minimum size of septic tank (gal) that would be required assuming a 48 hour retention time.
