Evolving odorogenic substances and bioaerosols spread in the sewage system, cause in adverse conditions both chemical and biolog - ical corrosion of concrete. The paper presents the results of tests of samples taken from the top concrete circle and from a corroded cast iron hatch of 7 years old manhole located below the expansion well. Well elements were subjected to a strong interaction of hydrogen sulphide, which average concentration in the sewage air, during an exemplary 84 hours was 29 ppm. Concrete was gelatinous fine with noticeable outer pellicular layer of 1 mm thick and the inner layer containing aggregates (grain < 1 cm). Sulfur oxidizing, sulfates reducing, Fe 2+ oxidizing bacteria, aerobic heterotrophs, anaerobic heterotrophs, nitrifiers and denitrifiers were determined.

  • Pressurised Dewatering: the Economical Solution for Wastewater

Pressurised dewatering is typically suitable for sewer systems in outlying areas with no direct access to local gravity sewer lines, such as holiday areas and coastal regions, and will solve ground water pollution problems by utilising current pumping technology combined with modern European trends in sewage removal. Jim Rossiter of Sulzer Pumps Solutions, Ireland Ltd., explains the advantages and effectiveness of this kind of technology. By Jim Rossiter Pressurised dewatering is a very eff ective solution business is collected in small underground grinder for removing wastewater in diffi cult terrain where pump stations. Stations serving single residential units topographical conditions make it diffi cult to lay gravity typically utilize plastic sumps of some 700mm to 1.2m pipes. Recent EU regulations have severely limited the in diameter. usage of septic tanks and the usage of mini-treatment systems has also become more restricted. The pressurized dewatering method of sewage removal has proved very popular in many European countries in the light of the EU directive 91/271/EEC and the European water framework directive. 100% of domestic dwellings in Holland, a good example of very fl at terrain, have been connected to a central sewage system, and the vast majority are connected via pressurized lines. The grinder pump system Pressure or grinder pump systems utilize a small grinder pump station at each wastewater or sewage source. Small-diameter low pressure sewer lines are used for transmission of the sewage.

General Requirements. 3.1.01 The design of sewage pumping stations and force mains is an engineering matter and is not subject to detailed recommendations or requirements other than as required by these Standards. 3.1.02 Sewage pumping stations and force mains are to be provided solely for the conveyance of sanitary wastes. Under no circumstances shall any roof, foundation, surface or sub-surface drainage, or any other form of storm drainage be allowed to pass through the proposed facilities. 3.1.03 A detailed engineering report shall be submitted to and approved by the County prior to design. The report shall fully comply with all requirements of Paragraph 1.1.02A; shall evaluate the proposed sanitary sewer service area; shall evaluate overall effect downstream County facilities and shall justify the proposed station peaking factor. 3.1.04 The design must conform to the minimum standards set forth in the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality Sewerage Regulations. County requirements for specific equipment and submittals will be detailed during engineering review. 3.1.05 An Operations and Maintenance (O & M) Manual shall be prepared in accordance with the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality Sewerage Regulations and approved by the State and County before the County will accept the station for operation and maintenance. The manual shall contain complete operating information for all equipment, a complete set of approved shop drawings and a copy of the as-built plans for the station. The as-built plans shall be updated to include all plan revisions and field changes made during bidding and construction.

  • Developer's Manual 2020 Update the Developer's Manual Is a Guide To
    Developer’s Manual 2020 Update The Developer’s Manual is a guide to obtain water and sewer service for all property owners with existing or planned developments in the City of Pittsburgh and Millvale (water system only). This document has existed for 15+ years and as a result, has seen many revisions. These revisions over time have led to inconsistencies and the document is not customer friendly. To create a document that is more customer focused, PWSA staff undertook an extensive review that resulted in a deep dive into why we do things the way we do. From June to August of 2019, the Developer’s Manual Working Group reviewed and revised every section of our existing Manual. The Working Group consisted of six engineers, an engineering technician, and a member of the Public Affairs team. The group brought in many different perspectives and levels of expertise to develop a manual that not only clearly states our policies and procedures but that will be helpful to our customers and staff. This draft has been vetted internally and has was also circulated for feedback to several stakeholder groups including the Commercial Real Estate Development Association (NAIOP), Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA), and external engineering firms that regularly work on development projects. The updated Developer’s Manual will make future updates and policy approvals easier and creates procedures and processes that will ensure PWSA is a good steward of our water by reducing CSOs and more closely tracking the impact of developments on our most restricted sewers. Some of the most noteworthy changes to the existing manual include: General 1.

  • What Effect Does Rehabilitation of Wastewater Pipelines Have on the Share of Infiltration and Inflow Water (I/I-Water)?
    water Article What Effect Does Rehabilitation of Wastewater Pipelines Have on the Share of Infiltration and Inflow Water (I/I-Water)? Kristin Jenssen Sola 1,2,*, Jarle Tommy Bjerkholt 1,3, Oddvar Georg Lindholm 1 and Harsha Ratnaweera 1 1 Faculty of Mathematical Sciences and Technology, Norwegian University of Life Sciences, 1430 Ås, Norway; [email protected] (J.T.B.); [email protected] (O.G.L.); [email protected] (H.R.) 2 The Municipality of Asker, 1372 Asker, Norway 3 Faculty of Technology, Natural Sciences and Maritime Sciences, University of South-Eastern Norway, 3603 Kongsberg, Norway * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +47-41632184 Abstract: Infiltration and inflow water (I/I-water) is a big challenge in sewage systems in many countries. I/I-water above an acceptable level indicates that the sewage system is not functioning properly. I/I-water leads to increased pumping costs and increased sewage overflow, leading to increased pollution of the receiving waters. Many rehabilitation projects are driven by the need to reduce the share of I/I-water and common measures are to replace pipes and manholes. The share of I/I-water is predominantly driven by rainfall. This makes it difficult to document the efficiency of mitigating measures. One way to address this issue is to compare data from rehabilitation areas to areas where no measures have been implemented. Three rehabilitation areas in Asker Municipality, Norway, were successfully assessed by applying this approach. Asker has a 100% separate system. The strategy to reduce I/I-water in Asker Municipality was to rehabilitate sewage mains, either by full replacement or lining the old pipes, and replacement of manholes.
