Concept explainers

Collection Systems

The collection systems form a part of sanitary engineering, which is a sub-branch of civil engineering. It is also known as public health engineering and wastewater engineering. It is a methodology followed to remove and properly dispose of human waste, along with creating systems to provide safe and clean usable water. These measures ensure a hygienic and disease-free community. Sanitary engineering, apart from building sewer disposal units, is also involved in plumbing, fire protection, hydraulics, life safety, environmental protection, information technology, microbiology, pathology, and so on.

Estimate roughly the size of a supply conduit leading to an adequate distributing reservoir serving (i) relatively small residential community of 10,000 people, (ii) a relatively large industrial community of 400,000 people The following are the design conditions specifically for a North American region: a. The average daily water consumption for small communities with populations of 10,000 or less = 100 gpcd (378.5 Lpcd). b. Average daily water consumption for communities with populations of greater than 400,000 or less = 150 gpcd (567.8 Lpcd). c. Maximum daily water consumption is about 50% greater than average daily water consumption. The design water velocity in the circular conduit when flowing full = 4 ft/s = 1.22 m/s. What is the maximum daily consumption for 400,000 people?
The population of a town is 200,000 and the average per capita demand is 260 LPCD. Design the six filter unit for the water works, supplying water to the town.
