Velocity decreaes methods on existing system

Velocity decreaes methods on existing system

Velocity decreaes methods on existing system

(OP)
Hi

There are 7 no. of pumps running in parallel with 135 meter head & 3 different combination of pump total flow is 170 MLD.
We calculate on existing piping system velocity range stands in6.5 m/s as we know its on higher side
So please suggest how can I decrease this higher velocity.

Please comment if you want to know more about the site.

regards

Prakash

RE: Velocity decreaes methods on existing system

You are approximately 4 times the recommenced velocity. Either install a bigger pipeline or reduce the flow.
