Wastewater Collection (Sewer Alternatives): 

Wastewater Collection (Sewer Alternatives)

Sewer Basics: 

Sewer Basics Collection and transport of wastewater from each home/building to the point where treatment occurs. Wastewater Characterization Solids Liquids Pipe System Plastic Ductile iron Concrete/lined

Satellite Wastewater Management: 

Satellite Wastewater Management Also called “decentralized” or “distributed” Undertaken by utilities for a variety of reasons: Economics To reuse water locally To avoid expanding “centralized facilities As communities expand, the distances from the new developments to existing wastewater treatment facilities becomes so great as to not be economically feasible Sustainable Cost Effective, good for the public and the environment

Sewer Alternatives and Characteristics

Conventional Gravity Sewer: 

Conventional Gravity Sewer Large pipe (8” minimum), manholes spaced 300-500 feet Designed to transport solids Minimum velocity >2 fps (to avoid the deposition of solids) Max velocity = 15 fps Infiltration and Inflow (I & I) Uniform Slope between manholes Sewer size Minimum slope (feet/100 ft) 8-inch 0.40 10-inch 0.28 12-inch 0.22 14-inch 0.17 16-inch 0.14 18-inch 0.12 24-inch 0.08

Conventional Gravity Sewer: 

Conventional Gravity Sewer Alignment: 24-inch sewers (or smaller) should be laid with straight alignment between manholes. Changes in pipe size: When a smaller sewer joins a larger one (at a manhole), the invert (bottom) of the larger sewer should be lowered sufficiently to overcome head losses. An approximate method is to place the 0.8 depth point of both sewers at the same elevation. Sewer Materials: many types, materials and bedding shall prevent damage from external loads, and joints shall prevent leakage 0.8 depths are aligned

Manholes: 

Manholes * Located at changes in sewer size, direction, or slope * Or every 300-500 feet * Provides access for maintenance (cleanout, etc.) * Problematic because of Infiltration and Inflow (I&I)

Conventional Gravity Sewer: 

Conventional Gravity Sewer Bedding: specified by an engineer for pipe type and anticipated loads

Conventional Gravity Sewer: 

Conventional Gravity Sewer Backfill: suitable material, free of debris, stones, etc. DO NOT DISTURB SEWER ALIGNMENT Separation from Water Lines: 10 feet horizontal Water line 18-inches above sewer

Crown Corrosion: 

Crown Corrosion H2S + H2O    H2SO4 H2S H2SO4

Estimating Flowrate: 

Estimating Flowrate Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) A residence with a given number of people (say 3.5) Represents the average household flowrate Design Peak Flowrate (DPF) Flowrate expected in the collection system, assuming a given number of EDUs are discharging at the same time Typical values for systems with >50 EDUs is 0.35 to 0.5 gal/min-EDU Total DPF QDP = 0.5 N

Septic Tank Effluent Gravity STEG: 

Septic Tank Effluent Gravity STEG Small diameter plastic pipe Conveys effluent from a septic tank with an effluent filter No solids to transport (no minimum velocity required) Can be installed at variable (flat) grades No manholes Air-release valves needed at high points

Septic Tank Effluent Pump STEP: 

Septic Tank Effluent Pump STEP High-head turbine pump used to pump screened septic tank effluent into a pressurized collection system. Small diameter, plastic pipe (2-inch) No Solids transport (no minimum velocities required) Installed shallow Can follow terrain Air-release valves incorporated

STEP Components: 

STEP Components Building sewer (from house to septic tank) Septic Tank (or interceptor tank) Vaults/pump basins (effluent filter and pump) Pumps (submersible, high-head, turbine) Service lateral (1.25-inch typical) Check Valves (at pump outlet and at edge of property)
