New Approach for Sizing Rapid Infiltration Systems

Most rapid infiltration systems (RI) operate as batch processes. This observation is the basis of a new approach to sizing RI systems. The long-term intake capacity per cycle is the critical design parameter needed in this approach. Analysis of data from eight operational systems indicate that the i...

Description
Summary:Most rapid infiltration systems (RI) operate as batch processes. This observation is the basis of a new approach to sizing RI systems. The long-term intake capacity per cycle is the critical design parameter needed in this approach. Analysis of data from eight operational systems indicate that the intake capacity is mainly a function of the application time.
