INTRODUCTION

Our project proposal is about to design water supply system in Durian Tunggal,
Malacca. Durian Tunggal is a Mukim in Alor Gajah District, Melaka, Malaysia. It is
situated within the parliamentary constituency of Hang Tuah Jaya and the district of
southern Alor Gajah. It is also located 4 Kilometre from Lebuh Ayer Keroh tol Plaza.
The proposed area for the project is about 1500 acres. Figure 1.0 below shows the
location for the proposed area in Durian Tunggal.

Figure 1.0 Location for proposed area

For the study area, the proposed construction around the proposed area is residential
area, industrial area, hotel, mosque and school area. The layout for the proposed
construction is shown in the Figure 1.1 below.

Coagulation

Design flow = 60 × 103 𝑚3 /day

Average alum dosage = 5 mg/L

The quantity of alum needed on a daily basis in kg/d,

Amount needed = Q × dose

= 60 × 103 𝑚3 /day × 5 mg/L [ (1kg/ 106 mg)(1000L/𝑚3 )]
= 300 kg/day

Sedimentation Tank

The key parameters and typical values in the design of settling tank are :-

 Surface over flow rate, 20 – 35 𝑚3 /day/𝑚2

 Detention times, 2 – 8 h
 Weir overflow rate, 150 – 300 𝑚3 /day/𝑚2

1. Surface Area

Design flow = 60 × 103 𝑚3 /day

Design Overflow Rate = 40 m/day

The surface area is = 60 × 103 𝑚3 /day / 40 m/day

= 1500 𝑚2

2. Length to Width Dimension

Common length to width, L : W ratios ( 2:1 < L:W < 5:1 ). Therefore, the
suggestion number of tanks is 5 tanks, each with a width of 10 m, a total surface
area of 1500 𝑚2 ,
 Length = 1500 𝑚2 / (5 tanks)(10m) = 30 m, therefore it is fulfil the length to
width ratio.

3. Tank depth

Rule of thumb that the detention time should be 2-8 h. Assumed the detention
time of 120 min.

Q = V/t
V = Qt
V = ( 12000 𝑚3 /day )(120 min) / ( d/1440 min)
= 1000 𝑚3

Depth = 1000 𝑚3 / 300 𝑚2

= 3.333 m ~ 4 m

Sedimentation Sedimentation Sedimentation Sedimentation Sedimentation

Tank 1 Tank 2 Tank 3 Tank 4 Tank 5

Therefore, for each tank, the length is 30 m, the width is 10 m and the depth is 4 m.
