Question: Question 1 [ 2 5 Marks ] Assuming 2 . 5 peaking factor, design a pumping wells station for a daily average flow of sewage

Question 1[25 Marks]
Assuming 2.5 peaking factor, design a pumping wells station for a daily average flow of sewage equal to 15 MLD. It is required that sewage is to be pumped against a head of 8.0 m and will be conveyed by a rising main to a treatment site located 200 m away from the sump well. Assume the velocity flow in rising main as 0.75ms, the efficiency of pump as 65%, the motor efficiency as 75% and minimum flow as 30% average flow.
*MLD = Million litres per day

[5] If the sump well retains the flow of wastewater for 20 minutes, solve the followings:
(i) The maximum volume quantity of sewage in the sump (m3).
(ii) The maximum volume quantity of sewage in the rising main (m3).
(iii) The total capacity of the ??p(m3).

[6] Assuming a maximum of 4.0 m depth of the sump, and providing 3 sumps wells such that 2 wells will always remain in operation when one of the wells is taken under maintenance, design the minimum liquid depth in each well by solving the following questions:
(i) The surface area of the ??p(m2).
(ii) The diameter of each sump (m).
(iii)The volume of liquid in the well (m3).
(iv)The minimum depth of the well (m).
