Assignment 2

Sewer Design

Government had enforced all local authorities in Malaysia to upgrade sewage treatment plant system from conventional method to semi mechanical method.
Therefore, Majlis Pebandaran Kulai (MPKu) currently open for universities students to prepare technical proposal and solution to redesign the sewer pipeline
at one of their zones. The layout of the location and sewer pipeline are shown in Figure 1. All the data related to the demographic were shown in Table 1.
For this job, please maintain your current group in Assignment 1.

Your task is to prepare the technical proposal and solution for MPKu. Prepare the calculation separately for every village

a) Estimation on population
b) Estimation on sewage flow rate, q (m3/min)
1) Population Equivalent (PE) = 6 person / house
2) Sewage production = 250 L/person/day
c) Prepare the sewer design for all village according to the requirement below;
I) The sewer system must follow separate system
II) The flow for the design must be in gravity flow
III) The minimum size of sewer pipeline diameter is 225 mm
IV) Design the flow between point.
V) The flow in pipe must pass flow velocity 0.8 m/s and less than 3 m/s
d) Prepare simple sewer pipe layout for the construction purpose
e) Estimate the sewage capacity, Q at new STP
