Quantity of Sewage = 75gallons/ per person

Assumed number of persons to be served:


Persons per room = 2 persons
Number of rooms = 30 rooms

Therefore,
60 persons

Q= 75 gal. X 60 persons
Q= 4500 gal.
FORMULA:
V= 1.125+0.75Q
where V = Liquid volume of the tank in gallons
Q = The daily sewage flow in gallons per day.
1.125 and 0.75 are constant values.
V= 1.125 X 0.75 4500
V = 3376.125 cu.m.

CONVERSION:
V = 3376.13 X cu meter/ 264 gal
V = 12.788352 cu.m.

For the dimensions of the septic tank,


assumed depth 2.5 meters
assumed width 3 meters

LENGTH OF DIGESTION CHAMBER:

L= V/ 3X 2.5

L= 1.70511 meters
say= 1.75 meters

TOTAL LENGTH OF SEPTIC TANK:

TL= L/2+L

TL= 2.625 meters
