Sanitary sewers
Most sewers are designed to flow by gravity(water flows down-hill)
Includes sewer pipe from home to septic tank orto a municipal collector pipe
Gravity sewers must follow the topography of theland
Where gravity flow is not possible, pumps are
used Individual unit pump
Large municipal lift (pump) station

Pump stations
Pump (lift) sewage from low to higherelevation, generally from end of onegravity sewer section to another,
higher section
Consist of a wet well and pumps
Wet well forms a place for wastewaterto collect and be pumped from

Combined Sewers
Sanitary sewer also collects storm water runoff
Quantity is highly variable and site specific
CSO: Combined Sewer Overflow
Wastewater flows greatly increase during a stormIf capacity of sewer or treatment systems areexceeded, some of the combined waste is dischargedwith minimal to no treatment

Types of sewers
Wastewater collection systems areresponsible for collection andtransmission of liquid wastes to a
central treatment facility.
Like a distribution system for watersupply, the collection system resembles
a tree that branches out from thetreatment plant to collect thewastewater from individuals.

Wastewater from individual homesenters the collection system from a
service line.These services attach to the lateralwith a wye connection or a tap and
saddle connection.Branch lines or laterals usually rundown the street, collecting the flow
from individual services.They, like tributaries in a watershed,flow into larger lines called mains.
Mains carry the flow into the largest

Manholes
Manholes are installed in sewer lineswhenever there is an intersection,change of direction, or change the in
elevation or slope of a line.
They are needed to provide access tothe system for cleaning, inspection,and clearing stoppages. Although theyshould be large enough for operatorsto enter and work in, they can contain
hazardous atmospheres that can

Avoidance of Submerged Conditions:Manholes should not be located inareas subject to flooding, from
floodplains, surface runoff, or ponding

Junction chambers: Man-holeconstructed at the intersection of twolarge sewers.
Drop man-hole: When the differencein elevation of the invert levels of theincoming and outgoing sewers of the
man-hole is more than 0.5m, theinterception is made by dropping theincoming sewer vertically outside and
then it is jointed to the man-hole

Basic considerations in the
design of sewersDesigning a sanitary sewer involvesestimation of waste flow rates for thedesign data and evaluation of any
local conditions, which may affect thehydraulic operation of the system;

Design flow
Peak hourly flow and peak infiltrationallowances for the entire service areaare used for the design of new sanitary
sewers.
The size of the pipe, the type of pipe,and the downhill grade of the line
determine the amount of flow that aline can handle. The average percapita flow that is used to size the
system is usually about 100

Infiltration and inflow are also concernswhen designing a collection system.
Infiltration occurs when groundwaterenters the system through broken pipeor leaking joints in wet weather.
Inflow enters the system directly andmay come from runoff that floodsstreets, entering through submergedmanhole covers, or illegal serviceconnections that direct storm flows

Sewer Pipe Materials
The most common type of wastewaterpiping is vitrified clay pipe or VCP. It ismade of fired clay and is constructed
with bell and spigot connections.
-

VCP has sufficient strength to withstandmost trench loads and is almostimpervious to corrosion caused by acids
that form when sewer gases aregenerated.
VCP is available from 4" to 36" in
diameter. It is very heavy in sizes above18".

Reinforced concrete pipe, or RCP, isused for larger lines from 18" to 60" indiameter. It is lighter than VCP at these
sizes.
The problem with concrete pipe iscorrosion of the pipe crown area (top
inside of the pipe) from sewer gasesand organic acids.

Cast iron pipe (CIP) and ductile ironpipes (DIP) are not used often incollection systems, but have specific
applications.
They are used in areas where hightrench loading exists like crossing
under a railroad track or a dirt roadthat carries heavy equipment.
Iron pipe is also used for inverteds hons where collection lines run

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS)pipe is made from plastic. It islightweight and flexible.
It is impervious to corrosion fromsewer gases, acids and bases, andinorganic salts found in wastewater. It
is softened by petroleum products,which are not normally found indomestic wastewater.
It can't withstand heav trench loadin

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) piping is alsolightweight and easy to install.Petroleum products do not affect it, but
trench loading is still a problem.

Minimum Velocity
The flow velocity in the sewers shouldbe such that the suspended materialsin sewage do not get silted up; i.e. the
velocity should be such as to causeautomatic self-cleansing effect.
The generation of such a minimum self
cleansing velocityin the sewer, atleastonce a day, is important, because ifcertain deposition takes place and is
not removed, it will obstruct free flow,

Maximum Velocity
The smooth interior surface of a sewer pipegets scoured due to continuous abrasioncaused by the suspended solids present in
sewage.It is, therefore, necessary to limit themaximum velocity in the sewer pipe. Thislimiting or non-scouring velocity will mainly
depend upon the material of the sewer

Effects of Flow Variationon Velocity in a Sewer
Due to variation in discharge, thedepth of flow varies, and hence thehydraulic mean depth (r) varies.
Due to the change in the hydraulicmean depth, the flow velocity (whichdepends directly on r2/3) gets affected
from time to time.
It is necessary to check the sewer formaintaining a minimum velocity ofabout 0.45 m/s at the time of
-

35/42
The designer should also ensure that avelocity of 0.9 m/s is developed at leastat the time of maximum flow and
preferably during the average flowperiods also.
Moreover, care should be taken to see
that at the time of maximum flow, thevelocity generated does not exceed thescouring value

Minimum slopes
Minimum slopes are often used toavoid extensive excavation where theslope of ground surface is flat.
As the pipe sizes increases beyond 600mm, the minimum practicable slopefor construction is about 0.0008 m/m.

Roots, Grease, AndCorrosion
Root intrusion is a major concern forcollection system operators.
Tree roots that find their way intosewer lines through leaking joints orcustomers' service lines can causechronic stoppage and backup
problems. Roots must be cut to clearthe line. The problem is that cuttingroots is similar to pruning shrubs
Use of little co er sulfate in sewer is

Lines that carry large amounts ofgrease may experience clogging when
it accumulates on the crown of thepipe. The result is that the carryingcapacity of the pipe is greatly reduced.
This restriction will cause backupsduring peak flow conditions.
Flushing, Use of special tools attached
to cables or jointed rods and pushed orpulled through the sewer frommanhole or other point of entry to
remove grease from pipelines.

Corrosion
Corrosion in sewer lines can be theresult of chemicals from industrialdischarges.
It can also be caused by septicconditions that release hydrogensulfide gas (H2S). Sulfuric acid is
created when the hydrogen sulfide gasreacts with the moisture on the insideof the pipe wall. This can cause serious
corrosion problems in large concrete

It is less of an issue in vitrified claypipe. Acids do not affect PVC pipe.
Aerated lift stations and the additionof chlorine in the collection system aretwo ways of minimizing hydrogensulfide production.
