13.20.460 Dosing devices for pressure distribution.
If dosing devices are used for pressure distribution, then items A. to D. apply:
A. The pump discharge capacity shall be based upon the perforation discharges for a minimum average head of 1.0 foot. Perforation discharge will be determined by the following formula:
Q = 19.65 cd2h1/2
where: Q = discharge in gallons per minute,
c = 0.60 = coefficient of discharge,
d = perforation diameter in inches, and
h = head in feet.
B. The pump discharge head shall be at least 5 feet greater than the head required to overcome pipe friction losses, and the elevation difference between the pump and the distribution device;
C. The quantity of effluent delivered for each pump cycle shall be no greater than 25% of the average design flow; and
D. A siphon will not be allowed as a dosing device to pressurize a system.
