| Abstract |
An investigation was made to determine the feasibility of hydraulic transport of ground refuse in sanitary sewers of conventional design. For hydraulic transport, the material of household refuse is ground in an automatic household grinder, mixed with nonfecal household sewage water, and introduced into the main sewer through the standard service connection. The slurry flows through the sewers under gravity. It was concluded that hydraulic transport of ground refuse in gravity sewers at concentrations of 1.0% is feasible. At very low velocities small pressure drops may occur at various appurtenances but are not significant relative to the overall head. At flow velocities of 2.5 feet per second and above these losses are negligible. |
