Conversion Formula
m³/min = ML/d × 0.6944444444
About Million litres per day
The million litres per day (ML/d or MLD) equals 1000/86400 ≈ 0.011574 m³/s, the standard capacity unit for water-treatment plants, sewage-treatment works, and desalination facilities in the UK, India, and much of the Commonwealth. A small town water-treatment works processes 5-20 ML/d; the Beckton Sewage Treatment Works in London treats ≈700 ML/d. 1 ML/d ≈ 0.011574 m³/s = 1 000 m³/d.
About Cubic metres per minute
The cubic metre per minute (m³/min) equals 1/60 m³/s ≈ 1.667×10⁻² m³/s, used in large compressor and blower specifications, tunnel ventilation design, and industrial air-handling. A mine-ventilation fan may move 1 000-5 000 m³/min; an industrial rotary-screw compressor delivers 5-50 m³/min of free air. 1 m³/min = 1 000 L/min ≈ 35.31 ft³/min ≈ 264.2 US gal/min.
