Given that the maximum hourly wastewater flow is 2 m3/h, and two wastewater pumps with a flow rate of 10 L/s each are used (one in use and one as a backup, under automatic control), the minimum effective volume of the collection tank is ( ) m3. A. 2 B. 3 C. 5 D. 6.5 Answer: B According to Article 4.7.8, Paragraph 1 of the current Code for Design of Building Water Supply and Drainage, the effective volume of the collection tank should not be less than the discharge volume of the largest sewage pump over a period of 5 minutes; therefore, its minimum effective volume V = 10 × 5 × 60 ÷ 1000 = 3 m3.
