Recently, my boss asked me about the calculation or formula to calculate the size of water filter vessel ( bullet shape ) which is suitable for a condominium. I fail to find any formula from the Internet, so can someone help me to find the formula? Much appreciation.
From one of the wastewater vessel supplier, I got a formula which I do not understand. The formula is as below:
Water consumption rate/Effective filtration Area = 50L/min/ft^2 where the diameter is found from Area=(pi)r^2
I notice that the term 50L/m/ft^2 is actually the linear velocity as the term can be expressed as
50 V/t/A where V=Volume , t=Time and A=Area
as V/A = distance and distance/time= velocity, thus i think the term is actually linear velocity but I am not sure whether my assumption is correct. Can someone help me on that? Thank you^^
Another matter, how is this formula derived? and i still can't understand why 50? how is this number found?
What are the other information that are required to calculate the suitable diameter of the vessel? Flow rate? or other?
I hope someone can help me on this^^ Thank you for your kind assistance. Much appreciation to you all :) Thank you once again!
