Conversion Formula
mL/s = ML/d × 11574.07407
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 Millilitres per second
The millilitre per second (mL/s) equals 10⁻⁶ m³/s, common in laboratory syringe pumps, HPLC systems, and medical infusion devices. A standard IV drip running at 1 mL/s would deliver 3.6 L/h - a rapid infusion rate used in resuscitation; analytical HPLC columns run 0.5-5 mL/s. 1 mL/s = 10⁻⁶ m³/s = 60 mL/min = 3.6 L/h.
