Sanitary Runoff can only be defined in Phases.
Industrial Flow - Check to include industrial flow.
Industrial Flow - The amount of industrial flow per unit area.
Industrial Peak Flow Factor - A factor to apply to the industrial flow to account for the peak flow.
Domestic Flow - Check to include domestic flow.
Domestic Flow - The amount of domestic flow per unit area.
Domestic Peak Flow Factor - A factor to apply to the domestic flow to account for the peak flow.
Calculation Method - The method used to calculate flow. Available options are Discharge Unit and Main Drainage.
Discharge Unit
- Total Discharge Units - The total of all discharge units. Editable manually or via the Total Discharge Units Calculator.
- Frequency Factor - Factor applied in calculating flow.
Main Discharge
- Flow per Dwelling - The total flow for a single dwelling. Editable manually or via the Flow per Dwelling Calculator.
- Number of Dwellings - The total number of dwellings.
Resulting Flow Rate - The total flow calculated.
Analysis
The resulting flow from the sanitary runoff is made up of three parts: Industrial flow runoff from the catchment area, Domestic flow runoff from the catchment area, and Sanitary flow from dwellings.
Resulting Flow = Industrial flow rate + Domestic flow rate + flow rate from either Discharge Unit or Main Drainage.
The flow from the industrial portion of the development is calculated by:
Industrial flow rate = Catchment Area x Industrial Peak Flow Factor x Industrial Flow
The flow from the domestic portion of the development is calculated by:
Domestic flow rate = Catchment Area x Domestic Peak Flow Factor x Domestic Flow
Sanitary flow from dwellings can be calculated using either the Discharge Unit method or the Main Drainage method.
Discharge Unit sanitary flow calculation:
Sanitary flow rate = SQRT( Total Discharge Units) * Frequency Factor
Main Drainage sanitary flow calculation:
Sanitary flow rate = (Flow Per Dwelling * Number of Dwellings) / 86400
