Engineering planning checklist
Plant Water Balance & Audit
Track process water demand, thickener settling, and recycling efficiency.
Use as a checklist, not an automated design workflow. Complete and verify each calculation independently. Only explicit carry-forward links move a compatible value; all other inputs remain your responsibility.
What this workflow covers
Track process water demand, thickener settling, and recycling efficiency.
This 3-step checklist is intended for environmental engineer. Confirm each linked calculator's units, formula, assumptions and operating limits before using the result in a project decision.

Sequence Execution
1
Plant Water Balance Calculator
Determine total plant water requirement, recycled water return from thickeners/tailings dam, and fresh makeup water intake.
WORKFLOW INSTRUCTION:Confirm the published assumptions, enter the project data, and record the result and operating limits for Plant Water Balance Calculator.
2
Particle Settling Velocity (Drag Correlation)
Scope-limited calculation
Calculate terminal settling velocity of mineral particles in water across Stokes, Allen, and Newton drag regimes.
WORKFLOW INSTRUCTION:Confirm the published assumptions, enter the project data, and record the result and operating limits for Particle Settling Velocity (Drag Correlation).
3
Freshwater vs Recycled Water Ratio
Calculate water circuit recycling ratio and annual freshwater expense savings.
WORKFLOW INSTRUCTION:Confirm the published assumptions, enter the project data, and record the result and operating limits for Freshwater vs Recycled Water Ratio.
