Main Parameters for Design


* self-cleansing velocity
a) Peak flow (Qpeak)
• sewerage flow velocity that allows ‘self cleansing’
in the sewer − to allow the chosen sewer size to consider sudden
increase flow
• velocity that is high enough to initiate scrubbing
action (but can still avoid internal erosion) and slow Qpeak factor = 4.7p – 0.11 (from MS 1228(1991))
enough to avoid settlement
where p = P.E. in thousand

Given that P.E. = 10,000 people (p = 10); velocity is within the acceptable range
Qpeak factor = 4.7 x 10 – 0.11 − at Qmaximum , v = 0.8 – 4.0 m/s
= 3.648; − at Qminimum , v = 0.6 – 1.0 m/s (depends on sewer size)
