Collection System DesignOverview - Community sewer collection systems have traditionally utilized the standard gravity sewer pipe and manhole construction with the occasional intermediate pump station to move wastewater from multiple connections to a wastewater treatment facility. Gravity systems require larger diameter pipe, expensive manholes, and sufficient elevation change and/or sometimes frequent lift stations. Today there are options that allow for smaller diameter pipe and shallower installations that work with a variety of terrains. This class will describe four options for alternate methods of wastewater collection: 1) Grinder pumps to a low-pressure pipe system; 2) Septic tank effluent pumped to a low- pressure pipe system; 3) Screened septic tank effluent discharged to a gravity sewer; and 4) Vacuum collection systems. A general description of each method, the primary components used in each, primary design factors to be considered, and the pros/cons for each type of collection system will be presented.
Learning Objectives - At the conclusion of this presentation, the participate will be able to:
- Describe the four options for alternative community sewer collection systems
- Explain the advantages and disadvantages of each type of alternative sewer collection system.
- Discuss the primary design features of each sewer collection system type.
- Understand the factors that are used to design a successful alternative sewer collection system
Credits - 2.0 hours/continuing education units
