detention time
(OP)
How to calculate the time that will take a drop of raw water becoming a finished water in a conventional water treatment plant? Is there a formula for it? All input will be appreciated.

RE: detention time
Things get more complicated when you consider that part of the water leaves the plant not as cleaned wastewater but as part of the sludge.
OTOH, you could ignore the volume of the channels etc. and just add up the detention times the different processes where designed for - this will be plant dependent.
