Accumulated Deficit

The point of maximum deficit is (-16.66)

The point of maximum surplus (15)
The volume of the tank is the sum of the two values 16.66 + 15 = 31.66 %

that the population is less than 12,500 inhabitants.

Total volume of the tank

2.1 Gravity Tank

V = maximum (335; 858) = 858 m3(the fire condition prevails)

2.2 Suction Tank

V=864 m3(the fire is not taken into account)

2.3 Tank by Pumping

V = max (656; 858) = 858 m3(the fire condition prevails)

 Pre-sizing of the Tank

The total fire volume is selected:

Tank volume = 858 m38.58 times 102m3

According to the tank volume of 8.58 in hundreds of m3it has a

tank storage capacity constant K=1.5

With this constant value, we proceed to calculate the depth and the width of the
tank.

For the square section, the side equal to 14 m is probably too wide.
what will be good to design two tanks.

K=1.8

Two compartments are built in sequence to have one as a backup for when it is needed.
maintenance has to be performed; the width and length of the tanks would be 23.04m and
with a depth of 3.23 m.

Determination of water levels and quotas in the tank

Maximum water level in the tank = 409.8

Minimum water level quota in the tank = 409.8 - 1.26 = 408.54

Tank bottom elevation = 409.8 - 3.23 = 406.57

Crown wall elevation = 409.8 + 0.50 = 410.3

 Drain pipe

Washing drain delivery quota = 404.57 (assumed value)

Water sheet quota over the pipe = 409.8
Available hydraulic load = 409.8-404.57=5.23

Length of the drain = 50 m (assumed)

Assumed pipe diameter of 6" = 6" = 155.32 mm (internal RDE 26PVC) = 0.15532
