‎Sewage collection and conveyance system
‎
‎ Sewage collection and conveyance is the process of transporting wastewater from its source (homes, industries) to a treatment plant or disposal point using a network of pipes and appurtenances.
‎
‎Types of Systems
‎
‎a. Separate System
‎
‎ Carries household/industrial sewage in one pipe and storm water (rain) in another. This is the modern standard because it prevents treatment plants from being overwhelmed during heavy rain.
‎
‎b. Combined System
‎
‎Carries both sewage and storm water in a single pipe. Common in older cities but prone to "Combined Sewer Overflows" (CSOs).
‎
‎c. Partially Separate System
‎
A hybrid where a portion of storm water (e.g., from roofs) enters the sanitary sewer.
‎
‎Physical Components
‎
‎✓ House Sewers: The initial pipes connecting a building to the street sewer.
‎
‎✓ Lateral & Branch Sewers: Small street pipes that collect flow from house sewers.
‎
‎✓ Main & Trunk Sewers: Large diameter pipes that collect flow from multiple branches.
‎
‎✓ Outfall Sewer: The final stretch of pipe leading to the treatment plant or a water body.
‎
‎✓ Appurtenances: Essential structures like Manholes (for inspection/cleaning), Inverted Siphons (to cross obstacles like rivers), and Grit Chambers.
‎
‎Engineering Requirements
‎
‎The system is designed to flow primarily by gravity. To keep the system functional, engineers focus on two main hydraulic factors:
‎
‎✓ Self-Cleansing Velocity: The flow must be fast enough (usually 0.6 m/s to 0.9 m/s) to prevent solids from settling and clogging the pipe.
‎
‎✓ Non-Scouring Velocity: The flow shouldn't be too fast (usually below 3.0 m/s) to avoid eroding the pipe material.
