The detention period means how much time sewage remains inside the tank. It is calculated as:

Where

V = Volume of tank
Q = rate of flow of sewage
td = detention time

Calculation:

Given: Detention time, td = 2 hrs.
Dimension of tank: Length, L = 24 m, Width, W = 6 m and Depth, D = 3 m.
The volume of tank = L × B × D.
V = 24 × 6 × 3 = 432 m3
The rate of flow of sewage is calculated as:
Or
Q = 216 m3/hr.

Detention Time, T=2hr.
L=24m,
BorW=6m,
D=3m
Rate of flow, Q=?
Hence,
T=V/Q.
T =L*B*H/Q,
2=24*6*3/Q,
Q=216 cu m.
