HYDRAULIC DESIGN OF CASCADE AERATOR
The role of Aeration is to remove undesirable dissolved gases in water and to add oxygen to water to convert
undesirable substances to a more manageable form.
INLET SHAFT
(Reference Table No. 1)
Number of Units = Nos
Designed Flow Per Unit = 6.25 MLD
Designed Capacity in m3/sec = 0.072 m3 /sec
ASSUMPTIONS & CALCULATIONS:
Assumed velocity of flow through Inlet Shaft = 1.25 m/sec
Diameter of Inlet Shaft Required =
DRequired = 0.272 m
Provide Internal Diameter of Inlet Shaft = 0.275 m
Assumed thickness of Inlet Shaft = 0.2 m
Hence, Outer Diameter = 0.675 m
VALIDATION CHECKS:
1. Provided Diameter 0.275 > Required Diameter = 0.272 m
Diameter Provided > Diameter Required.
2. Velocity Achieved = 1.213 m/s
Hence, Velocity achieved is within the permissible Range (0.6 -1.25m/sec)
DESIGN SUMMARY - INLET SHAFT
Velocity = 1.25 m/sec
Internal Diameter of Inlet Shaft = 0.275 m
Thickness of Inlet Shaft = 0.2 m
Outer Diameter of Inlet Shaft = 0.675 m
