NA-05 - Cleaning: Solids in Drain and Sewer Systems (Demo)

Consequences of solids entry

Deposits in sewers (2)

 

Even with today's design standards, the formation of deposits cannot be prevented. The reasons include:

 

  • In the theoretical principles, the contact and adhesion effects of the transported particles were not considered (the observations were carried out largely with cohesion less, uniform material)

  • Objects and obstacles that are not intended to be in the sewer system sometimes do enter and form blockages which are impossible or very difficult to transport

  • Reduced flow rate due to backups, over filling and flooding events [Stein98h].
