Automated Materials List Program Outputs
Algorithm
The Automated Materials List is designed to give the user an estimate of the materials needed and the total budget of the plant based on the inputted specifications.
The first step in calculating the materials was to determine which parts of the plant were constructed out of which types of materials (e.g. concrete, ferrous cement, corrugated plastic, piping). The total volume of concrete is the sum of the volume of each of the channels and tanks.
(Math type)
The total length of launder pipe is dependant on the number of sedimentation tanks and bays, which determines the number of launders.
(Math type)
The volume of the floc baffles is dependant on the width of the channels, the height and length of the floc tank, and the perpendicular spacing between each baffle.
