The advantages of pressure sewer systems

The pressure increases to develop and to expand cities and communities. This brings the need to build on areas that were previously deemed as unsuitable grows accordingly. The demand on the sewage handling systems which we all rely on, and over time this has led to the development of the innovative technologies. Pressure sewer systems offer a far more reliable and controllable transfer of the sewage from the household to the treatment plant than a conventional alternative.

What is a pressure sewer system?

A pressure sewer system makes use of the small and low-powered grinder pumps in each property. They are each connected to the central discharge network. For each of these units, they will have a high-density storage tank with a capacity of around 900-litres which is approximately 197 gallons. A progressing capacity pump, plus a cutter which breaks down the solids in the sewage to create a movable slurry. The automatic electric controller will be included to regulate the flow of the monitor fluid levels and to protect the pump.

The grinder ensures that the sewage is reduced to manageable consistency before the pumps at each property transfer through a central community network to a pump station and on to a treatment plant. The network that serves the community is constructed from a small diameter pipe which can be installed in the narrow or shallow trenches via the use of directional drilling techniques. This normally increases the speed and the safety of the installation process compared to the conventional alternative, as well as reducing overall construction costs. This also provides greater control over the network`s design and the layout so that it genuinely bespoke the solutions that can easily be created.
