Screens
Exercise 1
Qpeak = 80 x 106 l/d
= 600
bar spacing = 5 cm
bar width = 1 cm
5 cm
= 80 x 106 l/d
= (80 x106 l/d )x (10-3 m3 / l) x (d/ 24 x 3600 s)
= 0.93 m3/s
Normally we design 2
screens (Peak/2) when
in average flow use 1
screen. When at peak
use both screens

L
For critical particle of 0.2mm (from Stokes law)
(hmax / Vs) = td
(hmax / Vs) = L/ Vh
L
= td x Vh

38 m/d SOR Surface Overflow Rate
24.35 m
SOR
This is the liquid rise
velocity. We are using SOR
as the water flow rate is
flowing over the top of the
tank into the weir system.
This is also called surface
loading rate as it has units
of m3 / m2 .d.
12/5/2011
= (5000 m3 / d ) / (38 m3 / m2 .d )
= 131.58 m2 = 132 m2
If the diameter is d
A = d2 / 4
d = (4 x 132 / ) = 12.96 m = 13 m
132 m2
Refer the design criteria table for the PST in lecture note.
From design criteria given in lec. Note SOR should be in 80-120 m3/d .
