We created the mathcad code to create design parameters for a plant the size of Agalteca with a flow rate of 6.3 L/s. We compared our two approaches, empirical and conservative (simple hydraulics).
Table 1. MathCad Results for a plant flow of 6.3L/s: Empirical vs. Conservative Approach
| Conservative | Empirical |
|---|---|---|
Filter Square Side | 1.5m | 1.5m |
Filter Height | 3.95m | 2.56m |
Clear Well Diameter | 6m | 6m |
Clear Well Height | 1.37m | 1.23m |
