Design Assumptions
1 The Air Blower is supplying air to the following using a common Header:-
1. Aeration Tanks
2. Sludge Tanks
3. Sewage Lift Pimp Pit

2 Blower capacity is sized considering the above tanks air requirements

3 The existing Aeration tanks will be retrofitted with BNR tanks, so air demand is higher than existing.

4 Air Flow requirement based on the above configuration:

Required Air Flow Demand:- Nm3/min Max Flow Min Flow

a Required Bilogical Flow Rate (for 2 Trains) 13.18 791.0 Nm3/hr Process Requirment 174.0 Nm3/hr
Additional air 3M/hr for
Required Flow Rate for Inlet Pump Pit
b 0.44 64.4 Nm3/hr pump pit as per sock 64.4 Nm3/hr
Aeration, (V-1) hoon request
Required Flow Rate for Sludge Tank Aeration,
c 0.44 26.4 Nm3/hr As per PID flow data 26.4 Nm3/hr
(V-6)
d Required Flow Rate for WAS pump Opeartion 0.2 12.0 Nm3/hr No data, so assumed 12 Nm3/hr
e Required Flow Rate for RAS pump Opeartion 0.5 30.0 Nm3/hr As per PID flow data 30.0 Nm3/hr
Total Air Demand : 14.76 923.8 Nm3/hr 306.8 Nm3/hr

Required Air Flow Demand #REF! Nm3/hr

Blower Pipeline Length Marking.pdf
Calculation Title : Head Loss Calculation for Air Blower

1. For Calculating Head Loss in Aeration Pipeline the following Darcy-Weisbach Equations are used :

i) Major Pressure Loss in Duct, ΔPmaj = λ (L/D) (ρ V2/2)

ii) Minor Pressure Loss in Fittings, ΔPmn = ξ ρ V2/2

iii) D'Arcy-Weisbach friction Coefficient, f :

Instead of Referring Moody Chart, Swamee–Jain Eqn. is used to solve directly for the Darcy–Weisbach friction factor, (f)

where,
ΔPmaj = Major pressure loss (Pa, N/m2)
f = D'Arcy-Weisbach friction Coefficient
L= Length of duct or pipe (m)
D= Hydraulic diameter (m)
V = Flow velocity (m/sec)
ρ = Density (kg/m3)
ε = Pipe Internal Roughness (m)
Re = Reynolds Number
Re = (V x D) ÷ Kinematic Viscosity (m2/sec)

ΔPmn = Minor pressure loss (Pa, N/m2)

ξ = Minor loss coefficient
ρ = Density (kg/m3)
V = Flow velocity (m/sec)

vi) Required Flow Rate for Inlet Pump Pit Aeration, (V-1) 0.44 64.4 Nm3/hr per sock hoon request 64.4 Nm3/hr
