pumped sewer septicity
As we know septicity is a question of time and is due to natural process, so we can limitate it but not avoid it.
few advices :
- volume of suction tank should be the minimum according to technical needs;
- use mixer and flush valves in this tank;
- bottom of sewerage as smooth as possible and without step or discontinuity;
- in rising pipe avoid change of slope that create vertical elbow;
- pipe diameter and pumps flow rate aiming to have a correct minimum velocity.
If retention time is too long than you'll need chemical dosing compatible to the final WTP
