Hydraulic profile

(OP)
I'm currently working on the hydraulic profile of a waste treatment unit and would like to know the headloss caused by various treatment units (ie. mixing tank, flocculation tank, clarifier).
Hopefully someone can help me

RE: Hydraulic profile

To start with, I'd check with the your local sales reps for the manufacture's data.  They can be your best source for this type of information

RE: Hydraulic profile

(OP)
First of all, thanks for your reply! I will check with some of my suppliers.
But I'm looking for general figures on this.

RE: Hydraulic profile

Usually velocities in tanks are so low by design for optimum retention time that head losses are insignificant compared to head losses in the pipe sections where velocity increases.
