LATERAL LENGTH AND DIAMETER <br />Piping to consist of PVC Schedule 40. Lateral length is to be 180 ft for each lateral, including the clean-out <br />sweep assembly. The diameter shall be 2" ID. <br />PERFORATION SIZE, SPACING AND NUMBER PER LATERAL <br />Orifices shall be preferably 1/8 in. dia. For effluent distribution applications to be -5 f 2 /orifice, <br />the spacing of orifices = 5 feet. The number of orifices per lateral shall be: <br />N = (p x) + 0.5 = (180 ft ÷ 5 ft) + 0.5 = 36.5 perforations per lateral x 2 laterals = 73 total perforations <br />By having orifices in the 12 o'clock position and check valves at the discharge line, the pumps will not have to <br />charge the piping network at the time of every dose. <br />LATERAL DISCHARGE RATE (LDR) <br />Required distal pressure is 5 ft, translates to 0.43 gpm per orifice. LDR = 0.43 gpm/perforation x 36.5 orifices <br />perforations/lateral = 15.7 gpm/lateral. <br />FORCE MAIN AND LATERAL DIAMETER <br />The force main is to be 2.0 in. I.D., and the laterals are to be 2.0" I.D. <br />TOTAL DYNAMIC HEAD (TDH) <br />The TDH the pump must work against: <br />System network head = 1.3 (cony, factor) x distal pressure 5 ft = 6.5 ft <br />Elevation distance between the pump and the highest elevation of the distribution network -,5.0 ft <br />Friction loss in discharge ,-0.5 ft + loss thru laterals 0.3 ft = <br />TDH: 6.5 + 5 + 0.8 z 12.9 ft <br />PUMP REQUIREMENTS <br />The pumping system for effluent disposal will consist of a duplex pump arrangement, with the pumps <br />alternating back and forth. A duplex pump system (Orenco P/N PF300511x2), each pump pumping 16 gpm <br />against 13 feet of head. The Alternating Control Panel is Orenco P/N MVP-DAX1DM. <br />DOSE VOLUME <br />Use 10 times the lateral void volume, or 25% of the ADF (ADF = 600 gpd x 0.25 = 150 gpd): <br />Lateral dia. = 2.0 in., Lateral length = 180 ft, Number of laterals = 1 of 2, Lateral void volume = 0.082 gal/ft <br />Net Dose Volume = 10 x 180 x 1 x 0.082 = 148 gals/dose. <br />Floats shall be set to dose an approximate volume of 150 gals/dose. <br />Pump delivers 30 gpm; therefore, set timer for 5 minutes. Pumps alternate every 6 hrs, 4x/day. <br />Orenco MF1P consisting of four Signal Floats shall be used to time dose the effluent. The bottom float, or <br />lowest float, is to be the Redundant Off (RO) float. The second float is the On/Off Timer. The third float is <br />the On/Off Override Timer and the fourth float is the High Level Alarm (HLA) and Lag Pump Enabled. <br />When the first float is in the off position, this protects the pumps from operating if insufficient effluent has <br />been generated. The timer enable and the RO functions are controlled by the same float. <br />11 <br />Chesney Consulting
