Subject: Research Project At Mainland High School, Daytona Beach, FL

Mr. Eachus,

I am the teacher in charge of a student Internet research project that is being conducted at Mainland High School in Daytona Beach, FL. The project is being sponsored by the University of Central Florida's College of Engineering (http://istf.ucf.edu/)

Our project requires a vertical storage reservoir to handle storm water overflow in a municipal wastewater treatment plant. For a view of our design, please visit: http://167.93.12.30/istf2000/FinalForm/building.htm  Often, in Florida, phenomenal amounts of rain fall in very brief intervals of time.  This excess water many times results in partially treated sewage overflowing the facilities of above ground treatment tanks.  To try and accommodate this type of event, we want to store that extra water in an elevated reservoir so that all of the wastewater can be treated correctly without overflow problems. 

We were looking at your elevated fluted pillar that holds 2,000,000 gallons with a diameter of 100 feet and a head range of 40 feet.

Our questions are: How high must that tank be elevated?  What rate in gallons/hour (?) would it provide - both for storage intake and delivery to the treatment plant? Could modifications be put in place for it to hold untreated sewage instead of drinking water?

Unfortunately, our project is due February 25th and I apologize for the sense of urgency.  We look forward to hearing from you very soon. Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Cathy Colwell
