Notes: calculation assumes water as the fluid. There is only an outlet with a valve no pipe length. The valve is a knife gate which has no pressure loss.
the K value is 1 for a simple exit.
Cyclone pump box volume is approximately 24L x 12W x 10H = 2880 ft3, the box is assumed to be half full when a power outage occurs or same area x 5'H
However there is 529 ft3 of slurry dumping into it from other sources, this represents 1.8 ft, I assume that half this volume will drain which makes the pump box height
5 + 1.8/2 = 5.9
