NA-06 - Cleaning: Flushing Methods

Table of contents

Wastewater volume activated flushing system

Rotating elbow

Investigations revealed that extensive and partially solidified deposits with critical erosion shear stresses up to 14 N/m2 could be eliminated up to a channel length of approximately 300 m. Sedimentation of the mobilized deposits was prevented up to a length of 700 m.

These results were confirmed by an analysis of the surge wave in a large diameter sewer [Lützn96].
