A: Lifting stations
Correct
Q: Of the three anti-flooding systems, why is the lifting station the superior system?
A: It is pre-assembled and its location inside the building makes it easily accessible for service. Furthermore, it offers maximum backflow and flooding protection
Correct
Q: Under which circumstances should you consider a pressurised wastewater system rather than a gravitation system
A: 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.
Correct
Q: What are the four most common types of wastewater from commercial buildings?
A: Wastewater, storm water, drainage water and wastewater from parking areas
Correct
Q: Why is the life cycle cost of the pressurised wastewater system low?
A: The initial cost of the lifting station is lower compared with a pit and there are no gravitation pipes outside the building
Correct
Q: What is grey wastewater?
A: Water, which is discharged from showers, sinks, washing machines, canteen kitchens etc.
Correct
Q: Which treatment is necessary for storm water?
A: None – it is pumped directly to the recipient
