Assuming 4 fixture unit (for 2 W.C.

, 2 Bath and 4 wash basin)

As per table table-1, IS 2470 (part-I), conversion factors are as follows:

Facility Eq fix unit Total Fix Unit
Water closet 1 2
Bath 1/2 1
Wash basin 1/2 1 1/2
4.5

Based on table-2 for 20 number of people, peak probalble discharge value

- 27 lpm

Calculation:
As per IS 2470 (part 1), Surface area of tank required shall be 0.92 m2 for every 10 litres per minute of peak flow rate.

So, surface area required shall be= 0.92 x 27 / 10 sq.m

2.484 sq.m

As per IS 2470 (part 1), a minimum depth of sedimentation shall be 250 to 300 mm.

Volume for sedimentation 2.484 x 0.25

0.621 cu.m

3
As per IS 2470 (part 1), capacity required for digestion 0.033 m /person
So, capacity required for digestion 0.66 cu.m

As per IS 2470 (part 1), Vol of digested sludge 0.00021 m3/person/day

Cleaning frequency (assumed) 1 Year

capacity required for digested sludge 0.00021 x 20 x 365

1.533 m3

Vol of spetic tank required 2.814 cu.m

Considering free board of 300 mm . So, total Volume 3.56 cu.m

Avg depth of tank required 3.56 / 2.48

1.43 m

Width of tank required (Assumed) 1 m

Length of tank required 2.48 / 1
2.48 m

Assuming freeboard of 300mm above liquid depth

Vol provided 1.6 x 2.48
3
3.97 m > 3.56
Hence Ok.
1 Length provided 3
2 Width provided 1
3 Depth provided 1.60

Provide 3 m x 1 m with overall depth of 1.6 m.
