BE-06 - Maintenance of drain and sewer systems - Cleaning II

Operating processes in the cleaning of drains and sewers have a high ecologic and economic optimization potential. Activating this potential is the overall aim of this module. Upon successful completion you will be able to: • describe the flushing process, • differentiate between bed load and suspension waves, • identify the effects of bed load and suspension waves, • differentiate between flushing devices according to their structural design and technical specifications, • identify the operating limits of automatically operating flushing gates (without external power), • identify the steps for creating an operational flushing concept, • describe the back-up flushing process and identify its application limits, • identify mechanical cleaning methods and their applications, • determine the various mechanical cleaning boundary conditions based on the pipe diameter, type and amount of deposits , • to select the appropriate rotary cutters chain formation based on the type of deposit or obstacle • to identify application areas for the use of physical, chemical and biological processes, • identify methods for the cleaning of large profile pipes, • identify and describe the methods and processes used for the cleaning of pressure lines, • describe the design measures and principles for the prevention of deposits.

This course is offered by the Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stein & Partner GmbH (Bochum) and S & P Consult GmbH (Bochum) in cooperation with UNITRACC.com. S & P Consult GmbH is a consulting engineering firm specialising in trenchless pipeline installation, rehabilitation and maintenance, as well as environmental technology.
