Thread: calculating diameter of a filter using only flow rate

i have got a problem of calculating the diameter of a wastewater filter. Being a clerk in a wastewater company, i am responsible in doing this job.

Therefore i need some help!

If a condominium have a water consumption rate of 3000gallon/day, what can i determine the size(generally the height and the diameter) of the wastewater filter, by obtaining the information about the pressure of the inlet water?

I hope there is a formula for easier calculation. thanks :-D

It sounds like a job for an engineer, not a clerk. If I were you, I would talk to the people who sell filters, and see what they would recommend.

If there is a similar size condo near you, you could just ask them what size they installed.

Here is a link to a typical manufacturer's catalog
