it is necessary to raise the sand layer, (for example to provide clearance to the water table) the
following calculations are NOT adequate for the design.

Step 12) Determine the width of the sand layer plus downslope berm

The width of the mound is based on the greater of: the width as determined by the 4:1 slope
requirement OR the width required to provide adequate infiltration area.

Sizing
Units 1
1 = Metric
2 = Imperial

This worksheet is used to size the orifices in the distribution lateral pipes, size effluent delivery piping
and to calculate the required capacity and presure head capability of the effluent pump. It can be
used for calculating the delivery of effluent to laterals in disposal fields, mounds, and sand filters.

Step 1) Select the Pressure to be maintained at the orifices

Step 2) Select the Size of the orifices in the laterals

Minimum size is 1/8 in. (3.2 mm). Larger sizes are less likely to plug.

Step 6) Select the type and size of effluent delivery pipe

Use Appendix 6 to aid in the decision. A larger pipe will reduce the pressure loss.
A minimum flow rate will help scour the pipe: 59 Lpm for 40 mm, 77 Lpm for 50 mm and 168 Lpm for
75 mm.

Step 12) Repeat the calculations if it is necessary to change the pump specifications

If the flow rate through the orifices is too high, reduce the orifice diameter in Step 2, increase the
orifice spacing in Step 3, or include a distributing valve to sequentially dose small portions of the
system.
If the pressure head required is too high, select a lower design pressure in Step 1, reduce the flow
rate as above, or increase the effluent delivery pipe size in Step 6.
