Sewerage System

The Sewerage system consists mainly of,

1) Collection System (Sewer, Sewer


appurtenances)
2) Conveyance System (Pumping Station, Pumping
Main, etc)
3) Treatment Plant

Sanitary Sewer is a type of under ground carriage system for


transporting sewage from houses or industry to treatment or
disposal.

Storm Sewer is designed to drain excess rainfall and ground


water from paved streets, parking lots, sidewalks and roofs.

Gravity and Pressure flow

A flow condition in which flow takes


place due to the energy within the
conduit and flowing fluid, namely,
the force of gravity.

A flow condition in which fluid moves


through a closed conduit as a result of
source of energy, such as the energy
supplied by a pump or a external
pressure head.

Considerations of the Design period


• Designed normally to meet the requirements over a 30 year
period after their completion.
• Period between design and completion is also taken into
account, which should be less than three to six years depending
on type and size of the project.
• 30 year period is subjected to modification based on their useful
life or facility for carrying out extensions when required and
rate of interest where expenditure of its utilization is avoided.
• Necessary land for future expansion or duplication of
components should be acquired in the beginning it self.

Difference in design of Water Supply pipes and Sewer pipes

• Water supply line carries pure water and negligible amount


of solid particle but Sewer line carry solid particles i.e. sludge
which leads to clogging of Sewers and to avoid clogging or
silting of Sewers, it is necessary to be of proper size and in
proper gradient as to generate self-cleansing velocity at
different possible discharges.
• Water supply line are laid in ups and downs of the hills and
valleys but Sewer lines are laid only at a continuous gradient
in the downward direction up to the outfall.

Problem: 1 Design of Sanitary Sewers


A 300mm dia sewer is to flow at 0.3 depth on a grade
ensuring a degree of self-cleansing equivalent to that
obtained at full depth at a velocity of 0.90 m/sec. Find
the required grade and associated velocity and rate of
discharge at this depth. Assume Manning’s rugosity
coefficient ‘n’ as 0.013. The variations of ‘n’ with depth
may be neglected.

09-11-2013
www.Vidyarthiplus.com

To start with........
Manning’s formula Given:
Sewer Dia, D = 300mm
d = 0.3 times the full depth
Velocity of flow = 0.90 m/sec
Manning’s rugosity coefficient =
At full depth,
0.013
To Find:
Required grade
Associated Velocity
Rate of discharge at this depth
09-Nov-13 M.R.Ezhilkumar - AP/Civil 17

Solution........
V = 0.90 m/sec
N = 0.013
R = D/4 = 300/4 = 75mm

0.90=(1/0.013).(0.075)2/3 . (S)1/2

(S)1/2 =0.90 x 0.013/0.178 = 0.0657

S = 0.0043 (Say 4.3 0/00)

Q = A . V = (πd2/4) . V = 0.064 cumecs.

www.Vidyarthiplus.com
M.R.Ezhilkumar - AP/Civil 9
09-11-2013
www.Vidyarthiplus.com

Solution........
Now at a depth (d) equals to 0.3 times the full depth (D)
d/D = 0.3
Using table 4.8,
For d/D = 0.3, α/A = 0.252, r/R = 0.684

Required gradient for the sewer of same self-cleansing to be same


at 0.3 depth (d), as full depth,

ss = (1/0.684) S = (1/0.684) . 0.0043 = 0.0063

09-Nov-13 M.R.Ezhilkumar - AP/Civil 19

Solution........
Velocity generated at this gradient,

= 1 x (0.684)1/6 x 0.9 m/sec


= 0.939 x 0.9
= 0.846 m/sec.

Rate of Discharge at this depth,

= (1).(0.252).(0.939).(0.064)
= 0.015 cumecs.

Problem: 2 Design of Sanitary Sewers


Design a sewer to serve a population of 36,000. The
daily per capita water supply allowance being 135
litres, of which 80 per cent finds its way into the sewer.
The slope available for the sewer to be laid is 1 in 625
and the sewer should be designed to carry four times
the dry weather flow when running full. What would
be the velocity of flow in the sewer when running full?
Assume ‘n’ = 0.012 in Manning’s formula.
09-Nov-13 M.R.Ezhilkumar - AP/Civil 21

To start with........
Given:
Population=36,000
Per capita water supply=135litres
Available slope for sewer=1 in 625
To Find:
Velocity of flow in Sewer when
running full?

www.Vidyarthiplus.com
M.R.Ezhilkumar - AP/Civil 11
09-11-2013
www.Vidyarthiplus.com

Solution........
Population = 36,000
Per Capita water supply = 135 litres/person/day
Avg water supplied daily = 36,000 x 135 litres/day
= 4860000 litres/day
Avg water supplied in cumecs = 4860000/(1000x24x60x60)
= 0.0562 cumecs.
Avg Sewage discharge = 80% of water supplied
= 0.8 x 0.0562 cumecs
= 0.045 cumecs
D.W.F = 0.045 cumecs

09-Nov-13 M.R.Ezhilkumar - AP/Civil 23

Solution........
Maximum discharge for which sewer should be designed running
full,
= 4 x 0.045 cumecs
= 0.18 cumecs
Now, using Manning’s formula,

D = 0.51m Hence use 0.51m dia sewer pipe.

V = 2.39 m/sec

Solution........

Use a trapezoidal drain section with 1:1 side slopes as shown


above.
A = (B + y) y = (9.0+1.5)1.5 = 15.75 sq.m

R = A / P = 15.75 / 13.24 = 1.19m

Solution........
Using Manning’s formula and value of n as 0.020, for ordinary dry
stone pitching,

Required is 18.3 cumecs i.e. Safe


09-Nov-13 M.R.Ezhilkumar - AP/Civil 31

Solution........
Velocity generated

V=Q/A
= 18.30 / 15.75
V = 1.16 m/sec < permissible velocity of 1.5 m/sec.

Hence, use a trapezoidal drain section with base width as


9m and water depth as 1.5m, side slopes 1:1, laid at a longitudinal
bed slope (parallel to water surface) of 1 in 2300.

Plumbing is the practice, materials and fixtures used in
the installation or maintenance of all pipes in connection
within the building.

SANITARY PLUMBING SYSTEM


Plumbing System
The entire system of piping, fittings and the appurtenances are
known as plumbing system.
Principles of Sanitary plumbing system
• For better maintenance – pipes should be laid into the ground by
the said rather than in walls or underground
• Vertical pipes in the building should be kept outside and
accommodated in shafts
• Horizontal pipes should be laid straight and at grade between
inspection chambers
• All sharp bends and junctions should be avoided
• The entire plumbing system should be ventilated

SANITARY PLUMBING SYSTEM


Principles of Sanitary plumbing system
• The house sewer should be connected to the street sewer, keeping
the outfall level of the house sewer sufficiently higher than the
street sewer water level to avoid backflow
• System should contain enough number of traps to avoid foul
smelling and efficient functioning
• Laterals should be laid at sufficient slope to develop self-cleansing
velocities
• Joints of pipes should be made watertight
• Layout should be in such a way to permit easy cleaning in case of
blockage
• High quality sewers should be used and no rain water from roofs
to be allowed to mix with house sewage

the sewage is 180 litres per second, the maximum and the
minimum flows are 250% and 40% of the average
respectively, Assume the minor losses to be about 6cm.

Problem: 5
A low lying residential colony is having a population of
3000 persons. The colony gets a per capita supply of
water at the rate of 140 litres per day. A separate
sewerage system for the colony is installed. It is further
required to lift the entire sewage of the colony by
installing an air-ejector. Assuming the velocity in the
main sewer as 0.9 m/sec, velocity of compressed air as
5m/sec, design the ejector.

Problem: 6
Draw a typical sketch of a sewage pumping station for a town having
a population of 50,000 supplied with a per capita water supply of
130 litres per day. The sewage from this town enters the pumping
station through a low levelled sewer at R.L 195.0m and leaves
through the high levelled sewer at R.L 205.0m. The town has been
provided with a separate sewerage system, and there are no chances
of storm water getting infiltrated into sewers. Calculate (a) The size
of the rising main, (b) Size of the sump well, (c) B.H.P of the pump
motor required. Assume the length of the rising main as 100m. Make
other suitable assumptions, where needed.
