Option 3 : Combination of sedimentation and digestion

Imhoff tank:

Imhoff tank is used for the clarification of sewage by simple settling and sedimentation, along with anaerobic digestion of the extracted sludge. It consists of an upper chamber in which sedimentation takes place, from which collected solids slide down inclined bottom slopes to an entrance into a lower chamber in which the sludge is collected and digested. The two chambers are otherwise unconnected, with sewage flowing only through the upper sedimentation chamber and no flow of sewage in the lower digestion chamber.

It is a robust and effective settler that causes a suspended solids reduction of 50 to 70%, COD reduction of 25 to 50%, and leads to potentially good sludge stabilization.

It consists of two compartments:

Upper Compartment: This compartment has a circular or rectangular shape with V-shaped walls and a slot at the bottom, allowing solids to settle into the digestion compartment, while preventing foul gas from rising up and disturbing the settling process. It is exposed to atmosphere, and thus working condition is aerobic.

Lower Compartment: In this compartment, sludge accumulates and is compacted and partially stabilized through anaerobic digestion. Thus, working condition is anaerobic

A set A of 6 pipes can fill the 60% of the tank in 6 minutes, another set B of 5 pipes can fill ¼ of the same tank in 4 minutes and a third set C of 4 pipes can empty ½ of the same tank in 8 minutes. If the efficiency of 2 pipes among the third set of pipes is increased to twice then find the per minute rate (in %) at which the tank will be full completely if all these 15 pipes are opened together?
