    Grade (slope) needed for flow between settlement tanks (in series)

    Hi. We are putting together a simple water treatment plant, consisting chemical feed to the water stream thence settlement inside round tanks. There are five settlement tanks (approx 12,ooo gal each, 9'6" high) piped together in series, all open to atmosphere. Water will be pumped...

    Removing air from water pipe post chemical injection?

    Once again, many thanks bim. I was thinking some air may have (potentially) come from the dosing procedure (such as if the chemical tanks ran down, loose pipe connections etc). The flow is fast and the magmeter is only being used for signalling purposes (i.e. the absolute reading is not...

    Removing air from water pipe post chemical injection?

    Putting a simple water treatment plant together: We have a 25-40l/s system pumped through a 4" pipe. Water enters, is dosed/injected (via diaphram pumps) with Ph balancers, flocs, coags etc, mixed with in-line static mixer and then out. On the exit is an insertion mag-flow meter. We are...

    Pumping into and out of tw different sized water tanks piped in series

    Thanks bimr. The idea of the two tanks is to remove energy and air from the water being delivered by the positive displacement pump (from a ground and surface de-watering area). We did originally want a baffle of some sort in just one tank, but we decided on the second tank to take the...

    Stainless Steel Bolts vs Epoxy Coated bolts

    Try using different grade stainless for the nuts and bolts (eg 316 for the nuts and 304 for the bolts) - the contractors will be happier with less gauling..

    Pumping into and out of tw different sized water tanks piped in series

    Hi We're constructing a water treatment plant. At the start of the system we're pumping (discharging) via a positive displacement pump into a receiving 10,000 litre round tank (approx 2.1m high x 2.5m diameter). This first tank is connected to a second larger 22,500 litre water tank via a...
