The document discusses sewage collection and conveyance systems. It describes the different types of sewers like house sewers, laterals, submains, trunk sewers, force mains, interceptor sewers, relief sewers and outfall sewers. It also discusses the three main sewerage systems - separate, combined and partially combined systems - and their advantages and disadvantages. Finally, it covers sewer collection patterns and factors influencing pattern selection.

• House sewer- conveying an individual structure to a common sewer or
other point of disposal. • Lateral sewer- a common sewer collects flow from house sewers. • Submain sewer- collects sewage from one or more laterals as well as house sewers. • Main or trunk sewer- collects flow from several sub-mains as well as laterals and house sewers. • Force mains- pressurized sewer lines, which convey sewage from a pumping station to another main or to a point of treatment or disposal. • Interceptor sewer- separates dry weather flow and conveys it to a wastewater treatment plant • Relief sewer- built to carry a portion of the flow in a system with inadequate capacity. • Outfall sewer- carries the collected waste to a point of treatment or disposal.

• There are three systems of sewerage
• Separate system • Combined system • Partially combined or separate system Tech-Zone Engineering College Sewage Treatment and Disposal Zerihun A.
• Advantages • The size of sewers are small • Sewage load on treatment units is small • River or stream waters are not polluted • Storm water can be discharged into streams or rivers without any treatment • Economical for sewage pumping since the quantity is small • Disadvantages • Small sewer easily get choked and are difficult to clean • Laying two sets of sewer is costly • Storm water sewers are only used during rainy season Tech-Zone Engineering College Sewage Treatment and Disposal Zerihun A.
• Advantages • Large sewer size don't clog easily and are easy to clean • Laying one set of sewer is economical • The strength of sewage is reduced by dilution • Maintenance cost is reasonable • Disadvantages • Large sewers are difficult for handling and transport • Due to storm water load the treatment plant is high • During heavy rains sewers may overflow causing nuisance • Pumping is uneconomical • Storm water is unnecessarily polluted Tech-Zone Engineering College Sewage Treatment and Disposal Zerihun A.
• Advantages • Small sewers sizes are required • Has the advantages of both systems • Silting problem is eliminated • The problem of disposing off storm water from homes is eliminated • Disadvantages • The velocity of flow may be low during dry weather • The storm water increases the load on pumps and treatment units Tech-Zone Engineering College Sewage Treatment and Disposal Zerihun A.
• In flat areas • If sufficient fund is not available currently • If annual precipitations very small • Nearness of a natural river or drain • If pumping is a must • If existing sewerage system can be used only for sanitary sewage • Is rocky areas Tech-Zone Engineering College Sewage Treatment and Disposal Zerihun A.
• If sufficient annual rainfall is present
• If pumping is required for both • If space is limited • If diversion of excess flow can be provided • If existing system can carry both sewages Tech-Zone Engineering College Sewage Treatment and Disposal Zerihun A.
• Collection pattern depends on
• Area to be drained • The topography and hydrological features of the area • The sewerage system adopted • The location and methods of treatment and disposal works • Common collection patterns • Radial pattern • Perpendicular pattern • Interceptor pattern • Fan pattern • Zonal pattern Tech-Zone Engineering College Sewage Treatment and Disposal Zerihun A.
