Question 5 of 8
Intermediate

Which method of backflow prevention has the following advantages: Offers maximum backflow and flooding protection: Is not sensitive to fat, grease, sands and solids in the water.

Question 6 of 8
Intermediate

Which method of backflow prevention has the following disadvantages: Highly sensitive to sand and solid objects in the water. In a backflow situation, it is not possible to use the sanitary facilities that are connected to this device. Storm water drains cannot be connected to this device. The device is not 100% safe and should be used only to protect secondary rooms with no vital technical installations.

Congratulations. You have passed the test and completed the 3 - Wastewater
Sorry. You did not pass the 3 - Wastewater test this time
Achieved badges:
How would you rate this course?
1: Of the three anti-flooding systems, why is the lifting station the superior system?
It is located outside the building which means bad odour is never a problem
1: Of the three anti-flooding systems, why is the lifting station the superior system?
The storage volume is high and it is easy to assemble and install
1: Of the three anti-flooding systems, why is the lifting station the superior system?
It is pre-assembled and its location inside the building makes it easily accessible for service. Furthermore, it offers maximum backflow and flooding protection
2: Why is the life cycle cost of the pressurised wastewater system low?
There are only a few gravitation pipes outside the building and the excavation cost is low
2: Why is the life cycle cost of the pressurised wastewater system low?
The initial cost of the lifting station is lower compared with a pit and there are no gravitation pipes outside the building
2: Why is the life cycle cost of the pressurised wastewater system low?
The lifting station and the pipe system is maintenance-free
3: What are the disadvantages of the traditional gravitation system?
Many gravitation pipes with a small diameter have to be installed outside the building and the inspection wells are expensive
3: What are the disadvantages of the traditional gravitation system?
Inspection wells are difficult to maintain and the initial cost of the pumping pit is high
3: What are the disadvantages of the traditional gravitation system?
Many gravitation pipes have to be installed outside the building and a great deal of excavation work is needed.
4: Under which circumstances should you consider a pressurised wastewater system rather than a gravitation system
When there is a long distance between the building and the sewer main, when the sewer main is up-hill or when there are obstacles between the building and the sewer main.
4: Under which circumstances should you consider a pressurised wastewater system rather than a gravitation system
When there is a long distance between the building and the sewer main or when the sewer main is located far below the building.
4: Under which circumstances should you consider a pressurised wastewater system rather than a gravitation system
When there is a short distance between the building and the sewer main or there are obstacles between the building and sewer main.

7: What is grey wastewater?
Water, which is discharged from showers, sinks, washing machines, canteen kitchens etc.
7: What is grey wastewater?
Water which is primarily discharged from toilets
7: What is grey wastewater?
Water which has not been affected by human influence
8: Which treatment is necessary for storm water?
It has to go through an oil/petrol separator
8: Which treatment is necessary for storm water?
It has to go through a sand pressure
8: Which treatment is necessary for storm water?
None – it is pumped directly to the recipient
