Aeration tank design .a . Number and arrangement of aeration tanks . If the total aerationtank volume exceeds 5,000 cubic feet, except for the extended aerationprocess, the total capacity will be divided into two or more unitscapable of independent operation . Diffused-air aeration tanks,rectangular in shape, will be divided into one or more channels in sucha manner that the length of travel exceeds four times the width of thechannels . Inlets and outlets for each aeration tank will be suitablyequipped with valves, gates, stop plates, weirs, or other devices tofacilitate control of the flow and liquid levels in the tank . Channelsand pipes carrying liquids with solids in suspension will be designedto maintain self-cleaning velocities (i .e ., not less than 2 'fps) .Devices for-indicating flow rates of raw sewage or-primary effluent,return sludge, and air to each aeration tank 'will 'be provided .b .
