Unlock Wastewater Treatment Planning With Population Equivalent (Pe) Tables
A population equivalent (PE) table quantifies the strength of wastewater from various sources, assigning them a value that represents the per-person equivalent of organic matter and suspended solids. It assigns PE values to different categories, such as residential, commercial, and industrial wastewater, providing a standardized way to estimate the load on wastewater treatment facilities. The PE per person, household, business, industry, and institution is calculated considering water consumption habits, production processes, and other factors. This table facilitates the planning and design of treatment facilities by enabling the estimation of wastewater flows based on population or other relevant parameters.
