Bar Screen Design PDF
Objective:
Screens are used in wastewater treatment for the removal of coarse solids.
Example:
1. The cross section of the bar screen channel is determined from the continuity equation
Q = Ax V
Where
A= 0.419 m3/s
0.6 m/s
A=0.699 m2
d/W=1.5
d= 1.5 W
Width2 = 0.699 m2
1.5
W= 0.682 m
d= 0.682 m x 1.5
d=1.023 m
2. The cross section of the bar screen is given by the following equation
Ab = A/Sinθ
Where
Ab = 0.912 m2
3. The net area of the bar screen available for flow is given by the following equation:
Anet = Ab S
S+tbar
Where
Anet = 0.912 m2 30 mm
30mm+ 10mm
Anet = 0.684 m2
Vb = 0.6 * 0.699/0.684
4. The head loss through the bar screen is given by the following equation:
H1 = Vb2- V2 1
2g 0.7
Where
H1 = 0.6132- 0.62 1
2*9.81 0.7
H1=0.001085 m
V A= Vb Anet
Vb = 0.6 * 0.699/0.684*0.55
H1 = 1.112- 0.62 1
2*9.81 0.7
H1=0.0631 m
n tbar + (n-1)S = W
n*10+(n-1)30=682
n 10+ n 30=682+30
6. Wetted perimeter
P= w + 2 d
P= wetted perimeter,m
W= width of channel, m
d= depth of channel, m
P=0.682+2*1.023
P= 2.728
7. Hydraulic radius
R= wd/w+2d
R=0.683*1.023/2.725
R=0.256 m
8. Slope
Manning equation
where
N= 0.013
S1/2= v* n/ R2/3
S1/2= 0.6*0.013/0.2560.66
S1/2= 0.0078/0.4068
S= 0.01917 m/m
