Water Treatment
Water Treatment
(OP)
Hi,
I am looking for a program that can model small water treatment systems for camps and resorts. Basically our set-up is always an intake from a lake source to a low lift pump station through treatment (filters, uv, chlorination) and then to a holding tank or standpipe.
How can I model the pressure losses through the filtration system. I suspect you can get rather large losses through a 1 micron filter when flow rate is close to the maximum allowable for the filter.
Is there any way to calculate the losses through a series of filters?
Thanks
Joe

Independent events are seldomly independent.

How do I find pressure losses through a series of cartridge filters?
DO you have a sample spreadsheet on hand?

Is the assumed pressure drop for a 25 micron filter the same as a 1 micron filter?
Thanks for your help.
