  2. Combined sewer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combined_sewer

    Combined sewer outflow into the Anacostia River in Washington, D.C. Ratcliff Beach CSO discharges into the River Thames in London [7]. These relief structures, called "storm-water regulators" (in American English - or "combined sewer overflows" in British English) are constructed in combined sewer systems to divert flows in excess of the peak design flow of the sewage treatment plant.

  3. Sanitary sewer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanitary_sewer

    Most of the solids are removed by the septic tanks, so the treatment plant can be much smaller than a typical plant. In addition, because of the vast reduction in solid waste, a pumping system, rather than a gravity system, can be used to move the wastewater. The pipes have small diameters, typically 1.5 to 4 inches (4 to 10 cm).

  4. Effluent sewer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effluent_sewer

    Effluent sewer systems, as well as all sewer systems, can use two methods to transport wastewater to a treatment facility. These methods are gravity and pumping, also called pressure systems. Gravity systems use pipes that are laid on a slight downhill slope to transport wastewater. Effluent pumping systems have pipes that are buried at a ...

  5. Pumping station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumping_station

    A package pumping station is an integrated system, built in a housing manufactured from strong, impact-resistant materials such as precast concrete, polyethylene, or glass-reinforced plastic. The unit is supplied with internal pipework fitted, pre-assembled ready for installation into the ground, after which the submersible pumps and control ...

  6. Drain-waste-vent system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drain-waste-vent_system

    A sewer pipe is normally at neutral air pressure compared to the surrounding atmosphere.When a column of waste water flows through a pipe, it compresses air ahead of it in the system, creating a positive pressure that must be released so it does not push back on the waste stream and downstream traps, slow drainage, and induce potential clogs.

  7. Gravity sewer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravity_sewer

    The Industrial Revolution increased population density in manufacturing districts, and produced pipes useful for drain-waste-vent systems from buildings to sewers. Gravity sewers have been assembled from cast iron pipe, vitrified clay pipe, precast concrete pipe, asbestos-cement pipe, and plastic pipe. [8]

  8. Pressure sewer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_sewer

    The pumping well and pump controls require expert maintenance and repair should they fail. [1] Electricity is required to power the pump and this cost would typically fall on the local house-holder. Although the pump well is usually designed to accommodate several days storage, failure of the pump or of the local electricity supply for an ...

  9. Penstock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penstock

    A penstock is a sluice or gate or intake structure that controls water flow, or an enclosed pipe that delivers water to hydro turbines and sewerage systems. The term is of Scots origin, and was inherited from the earlier technology of mill ponds and watermills , with penstocks diverting pond waters to drive the mills.
