PROPOSED REJUNEVATION PROJECT AT SEREMBAN RSA SOUTH BOUND

DESIGN PUMP BOOSTER PUMP (SUCTION TANK TO ELEVATED WATER TANK)

LOCATION R&R SEREMBAN

Node 1 to 1 Pipe Losses (meters) = 0.9578

Flow Q 1.0364 MLD Given total water demand by C&S = 345,455 Ltr
43.1819 m3/hr *Pumping rate = 8 hrs
720 Ltr/min Q = Total Water Demand/Pumping Rate
Add 10% safety factor ≈ 800 Ltr/min
Note : Min. pumping rate for a commercial building must
be 8 hours as per SPAN guideline (refer attachment)

Pipe Diameter D 150 mm

0.15 m

Pipe Area A 0.018 m2 A = πd2/4

Fluid Velocity V 0.679 m/s V = Q/A

Pipe constant C 120 Pipe type : Mild Steel

Equivalent Pipe Length & Straight Pipe =70 m

Fittings Elbow 6nos. X 4.3 =25.8m
Check valve 1no. X 48.79 =48.79m
Gate valve 3no. x 1.13 =3.4m
Strainer 1no. X 35.88 =35.88m
Total , L = 183.87 m

Pipe Losses Pf = {(6.05 x 105) (L) (Q1.85)} / {(C1.85) (D4.87)} where Q = flow rate in Ltr/min
D = pipe dia. in mm
Pf = 0.0940 bar C = pipe constant
L = Equivalent pipe
Pf = 0.9578 m length and fittings in m

TOTAL PIPE FRICTION LOSSES IN METERS = 0.9578

Thus, Pump Head calculation = Static Head + Total Pipe Friction Losses + Pressure Required at Outlet

Static Head =26.75 m

Total Pipe Friction Losses = 0.96 m

Pressure at outlet = 7.5 m

Pump Head = 26.75 + 0.96 + 7.5

Pump Head = 35.21 m

Add 5% Safety Factor 37 m Pump Head

Uniform Technical Guidelines

c. Water for non potable purposes

i. The pressure of water supplied for non-potable use, e.g. for

industrial process, cooling, washing, etc., shall conform with
equipment manufacturer specifications.

ii. If pressures of more than 30m head are required, piping and fittings
of a higher pressure rating to suit the specific requirement of a
manufacturer shall be provided. If required, a separate localized
pressure boosting pump set shall be employed to meet the required
pressure levels.

C.3.5 Pumping System

a. Before commencement of any design work for a pumping system, the WDL
shall be consulted on the minimum water pressure available at the identified
tapping point along an existing public main. In this context application for a
water pressure test may be made to the WDL to determine the pressure
available at the proposed tapping point. Should the available pressure be
inadequate to supply water to the elevated storage cistern; a pumping
system shall be provided.

b. Duty and standby hydro-pneumatic pump sets, or variable speed pump sets,
shall be provided to raise the pressure of water supply to the top two floors
of high rise residential and commercial buildings. The pumps shall be fed
with water from the elevated storage cistern.

c. Separate pumping systems shall be provided for non-potable distribution

water systems.

d. Buildings of more than 70m (measured from the ground floor to the top of
the last occupied floor) shall require multi-stage pumping. Similarly each
stage of an intermediate pumping system shall be limited to 70m (physical
height) measured from the base of the suction cistern to the delivery point of
the break cistern.

e. The capacity of suction cistern should be from 30% to 70% of the total daily
storage capacity required. The balance of the storage volume shall be
provided at the elevated (roof top) cistern.

f. The capacity of the break cistern shall be equivalent to sustaining 1 hour of

pumping of the transfer pump, or 11.5m3, whichever is greater.

g. Minimum pumping rate for a duty pump shall be adequate to fill a

commercial or office building elevated storage cistern in eight (8) hours; and
a residential building storage cistern in sixteen(16) hours.

h. Pumping system operation shall be automated with the assistance of

stainless steel electrodes located within both the suction cistern and storage
cistern.

i. Selector switches shall be provided at the starter panel in order for pumps to
be operated manually.
