AquaSai MSR Treatment Performance Visualizer

Input Parameters

Flow Rate (m³/day) i

Daily Water Flow

The volume of water processed per day. Think of it like how many bathtubs of water need treatment daily. Higher flows need larger systems.

Number of Stages i

Treatment Stages

Water passes through multiple wetland cells, each removing more pollutants. Like washing dishes multiple times - each wash makes them cleaner.

2 4 7

Recirculation Ratio i

Water Recycling

How many times water is recirculated through the system. Higher ratios mean more thorough treatment, like re-rinsing for extra cleanliness.

0:1 2:1 5:1

HRT per Stage (days) i

Hydraulic Retention Time

How long water stays in each wetland stage. Longer times allow plants and microbes more time to remove pollutants - like letting tea steep longer for stronger flavor.

1 day 3 days 10 days

💧 Influent Water Quality

BOD (mg/L) i

Biochemical Oxygen Demand

Measures organic pollution - food waste, sewage, etc. Higher BOD means more organic matter that bacteria need oxygen to break down. Like measuring how much "food" is in the water.

TSS (mg/L) i

Total Suspended Solids

Tiny particles floating in water that make it cloudy - dirt, sand, organic matter. Like the sediment in a dirty aquarium. TSS affects water clarity and quality.

Nitrogen (mg/L) i

Total Nitrogen

A nutrient from fertilizers, sewage, and waste. Too much causes algae blooms and fish kills. Wetland plants absorb nitrogen like a sponge, removing it from water.

Phosphorus (mg/L) i

Total Phosphorus

Another nutrient (from detergents, fertilizers) that causes algae overgrowth. Even small amounts can pollute. Plants and soil in wetlands trap and remove phosphorus.

System Efficiency

Overall effectiveness of the wetland at cleaning water. Higher percentages mean better treatment. Think of it as a "grade" for how well the system performs.

System Efficiency

Total Retention Time

Total time water spends in the entire system. Longer times typically mean better treatment quality. It's the sum of time in each stage plus recirculation.

Total HRT

Includes recirculation

Required Surface Area

Total wetland footprint needed based on flow rate and treatment goals. Larger flows or higher treatment levels need more area. Measured in square meters.
