This spreadsheet is set up to make calculations for a design of a manifold/perforated lateral low pressure wastewater distribution system. There is one worksheet for an end manifold system and one for a center manifold system. Each of the worksheets calculates the flow rate per lateral and total flow rate for a user specified preliminary manifold/lateral layout, orifice spacing and target distal head pressure. The worksheets then calculate the minimum required lateral diameter and the minimum required manifold diameter. The user is guided in the selection of the dose volume and number of doses per day. Also the pump head and flow requirements and the pump chamber volume are calculated. This spreadsheet uses U.S. units.

This Excel spreadsheet workbook uses 9 worksheets to make calculations for metal precipitation from wastewater. In the first worksheet there is provision for user entry of the wastewater flowrate and the concentration of each of seven metals (zinc, nickel, chrome, copper, cadmium, lead, and iron) in the wastewater. There is also provision for user entry of the design pH and a safety factor for the calculations, as well as selection between caustic or lime as the chemical to be used for the precipitation and specification of the concentration of the caustic or lime solution being used. Each of the worksheets 2 through 8 make calculations for one of the metals. Solubility vs pH data for each of the metals is used to generate an equation for the solubility of that metal as a function of pH. Then equilibrium values are calculated for the metal removal rate, effluent metal concentration, solids production rate, and chemical usage rate. Finally, the user-specified saftery factio is applied to get design values for metal removal rate, effluent metal concentration, solids production rate, and chemical usage rate. The last worksheet provides a summary of the calculated results for each of the seven metals. Calculations are made using U.S. units
