How to Wastewater ?Flow manage and its estimation?
Flow is measured in each system using different ways!
There are two types of flow measurements:
1: Instantaneous flow is measured at a certain point in time.
2: Average flow is calculated using a combination of discrete flow measurements and flow volume measured over a lengthy period of time (e.g., 1 day).
Estimation options
S?everal methods for calculating flow in the field that require little or no additional equipment are available:
1: Flows of individual activity: The average total flow created on a daily basis by individual wastewater-generating activities in a building is referred to as average daily flow.
Toilet flushing, showering and bathing, cloth washing and dishwashing, faucet use, and other miscellaneous activities are examples of these activities.
2: Bucket and Stop Watch: This is the most basic way for determining flow rate; no special equipment is required. Only minor discharges from pipes or other conveyance devices where a bucket may catch the entire flow are suitable for this procedure. Field employees should repeat the procedure at least three times and average the results.
3: Float or Dye Method: The following formula can be used to estimate flow in a geometrically well-defined channel:
AV = Flow
Where,
A = Flow's cross-sectional area, and
V = The channel's average flow velocity.
4: Estimating Stormwater Flows: Field employees are occasionally required to estimate stormwater runoff flows without the use of expensive flow-measuring instruments or complex setups. The following rational equation is based on rainfall-intensity and -frequency data and is one of the most regularly utilised approaches:
Q= CiA
Where ‘Q’ is the peak runoff rate in cubic feet per second (cu ft/sec), and ‘C’ is the runoff coefficient, ‘I’ is the average rainfall intensity for a time period equal to the concentration period, and ‘A’ is the drainage area.
5: Time to Fill: Field staff can estimate the flow in sumps, wet wells, tanks, or any other well-defined geometric structure by measuring the time it takes to fill or empty it. They also calculate the volume by measuring the change in liquid depth and multiplying it by the surface area. The volume is then divided by the recorded time to get a flow estimate.
6: Pump Cycles: Flow can sometimes be approximated using the pumping cycles of a wet well or a process sump. The on-off signals are typically captured electronically or on a chart recorder once an event recorder is connected to the pump's electric circuit. Field personnel can then calculate the flow based on the pump's rated capacity and pumping time.
