Math Solutions: Wet Well Flow Rate Calculations

Water Online’s “Math Solutions” series, presented by wastewater consultant and trainer Dan Theobald (“Wastewater Dan”), instructs operators on a variety of calculations necessary for plant operations and operator certification. Here Dan tackles wet well calculations, with a bonus calculation for determining flow in cubic feet.

Calculate flow entering wet well – presented in three installments:

1.) Calculate Gallons Of Wet Well Effluent:

2.) Calculate Gallons Of Wet Well Level Increase:

3.) Calculate GPM Of Wet Well Influent:

Calculate flow rate in cubic feet per second:
