SEWER DESIGN CALCULATION
WASTE WATER FLOW RATE
Hydraulic Design
1. Minimum Velocity = 0.8 m/s
2. Maximum Velocity = 4 m3/s
3. Minimum depth of Invert = 0.6 m
4. Minimum Size of Sewer = 150 DWCP
For this calculation, 2 units of residential house are considered for development.
PE = 2 units ×5 person per unit = 10
Design Parameters
a) Flow
In accordance with MS 1228 : 1991 C1.3.2 average design flow.
Average daily design flow = 225L per day per PE
= 225L×10 =2250 L/day
1 1
= 2250 L/day = 2250L/day × × =2.6×10-5 m3/s.
24×60×60 1000
To carter for peak hourly flow.
Peak flow factor = 4.7×p-0.11 where p is the estimated PE in thousand
Qpeak = Peak flow factor× PE× Average daily flow
= 4.7×0.01-0-11×10×2.6×10-5 m3/s
= 2.02×10-4 m3/s (where p=5, MS 1228 : 1991 )
Where, Qpeak = Qreq
b) Pipe.
For pipe design:
Diameter = 150mm DWCP Sewer Pipe
Gradient, S = 1:300
Manning’s coefficient = 0013
Qprov = (1/n R2/3S1/2)(A)
1 0.15 2 1 1
=( ×( )3 × ( )2 ) × (𝜋(0.075)2 )
0.013 2 300
Qprov = 0.014 m3/s > QreqP
c) Velocity
V = Q/A
0.014 m3/s
= = 0.8 m/s (satisfy)
𝜋(0.075)2
Conclusion
150mm DWCP Sewer Pipe can carter 2 units of residential house.
