    This document provides the design criteria and calculations for a clarifier tank. It begins with the design flow rate and raw water quality parameters. It then lists design criteria from various sources for factors like flocculation time, settling time, surface loading, and weir loading. Calculations are shown for the diameter, volume, and contact time of the hopper inside and outside areas. Paddle design at different depths is also calculated. The power requirement, velocity gradient, and outlet weir design are determined. The clarifier tank is designed to meet the listed criteria.
