Sewage
Liquid wastes containing animal or
vegetable matter in suspension or
in solution and may also include
liquid containing chemicals.
Sewer
A pipe or conduit which carries
sewage.
Sewerage system
A system incorporating sewers and
all other structures, devices,
equipment intended for the
collection, transportation,
pumping, treatment and disposal
of sewage including a treatment
plant.
Types of sewer
Separate sewer
A sewer which
carries either storm
water alone or
sanitary sewage
alone.
- Sanitary sewer:
carries sanitary
wastewater
- Storm water
sewer: carries only
storm water
Combined sewer
Sanitary sewage
and storm water are
carried by a single
pipe.

1. Flow rate (Q)
Domestic
Assumption: 80 – 90% of water usage or
225 liter/person/day (average flow for
design purpose).
Light Industry
- 20 m3 per hectare per day
Infiltration
- 50 liter per mm.diameter per km of
sewer per day
Surface runoff / storm water
- Use Rational method: Q = c i A
2. Flow: gravity
Manholes location
- Every change in direction, gradient or size
of sewer.
- All intersections and junctions.
- At a distance of < 100 m (for sewer equal
to greater than 200 mm in dia.) and 150 m
(for sewer equal to greater than 450 mm in
dia.)

e.g.
e.g.
1. Determine Q peak.
2. Select pipe size:
e.g pipe diameter = 225 mm (minimum
allowable size)
3. Calculate A (pipe area)
4. Assume S , ks and n. Calculate v.(The
velocity of the pipe when flowing full,
v full)
5. From v = Q/A, calculate Q full (design
flow that the pipe can carry)
6. Compare Q full (Q design) with Q peak
(actual flow in sewer) or v full (v design)
with v peak (actual velocity in sewer)
7. If Q full (design) > Q (peak), then the
diameter is satisfactory.
1. Determination of flow rate
Flow is based on peak flow, Qp
where
PE = population equivalent
e.g.
Calculate the peak flow generated from 2
houses. Assumption: 5 people/house.
PE = 5 people/house x 2 houses
= 10 people
= 7.8
Peak flow, Q p =Q average x peak flow
factor
= (225 x 10) x 7.8
= 17.55 x 10 3 L/day
= 2.03 x 10 –4 m3/s

Biological treatment unit
Definition
Large shallow basin in which raw
sewage is treated by entirely natural
processes involving bacteria and
algae. Since rate of organic oxidation
is rather slow, long detention time is
required.

Trickling filter
Trickling filter consists of a bed of
coarse material / media such as
stones or plastic over which
wastewater is applied. The
wastewater is distributed over the
surface of the stones by rotating
arm.
