For influent TSS of 500 and 12,500 mg/l, the half-removal
time is calculated to be 9 and 40 min, respectively,
from Eq. (2). The relation of TSS removal and settling
time at half-removal time of 9 and 40 min obtained from
model Eq. (1) is shown in Fig. 6. Most of the points
obtained from settling experiment above influent TSS of
630 mg/l falls within the range of model values for 9 and
40 min half-removal times. It implies that the model is
applicable to define the settling characteristics of starch
wastewater.
