Engineering Fact SheetFor BackFlow Prevention Assemblies

EFS-BF12

General InformationBackflow preventer assemblies are utilized to protect our natural resource, safe drinking water. Backflow prevention is required on applications in which there exists a possibility of contamination of the public water supply from a water user, commonly referred to as a “cross-connection”. Potential cross-connection hazards are found in potable, fire-protection, irrigation, and industrial water lines. Codes and jurisdictions require a backflow prevention device where these hazards exist; consult authorities for specific approved applications.

There are several different types of backflow preventer devices depending on the application:

Single Detector Check AssemblyDescriptionUsed in a Class I or II application, Single Check Detector Assemblies are used where minimum hazards exist and where backflow assemblies are not required. The single check valve is used with a by-pass detector meter across it. See ParkUSA Model DTC. (Note that a flow alarm check and/or a single detector check are not considered an approved backflow protection method.)

OperationIn a non-flow condition, check valves in the by-pass and mainline units are closed. Flows from 0 to 5 GPM will flow through the by-pass. This operation at low flow rates is accomplished by designing the differential pressure drop across the by-pass line to be slightly less than the mainline check valve. Flows in excess of 5 GPM will open the mainline check valve for normal flow.

Double Check Backflow PreventerDescriptionUsed in a Class I, II, III, or IV (low hazard) application, Double Check Assemblies are used to prevent pollutants that are objectionable but non-toxic. Double Checks may be installed under continuous pressure service and may be subject to back pressure. Double checks can be used in sprinkler irrigation systems, fire protection without chemical additives, protection of industrial plants, and other systems requiring protection. See ParkUSA Model BP.

OperationIn a non-flow condition, the check valves hold a 1 PSI minimum in the direction of flow. In a flow condition, the check valves are open proportional to the flow demand. In a backflow condition, the check valves will close until the resumption of normal flow.

Backflow Prevention AssembliesDouble Detector Check Backflow AssemblyDescriptionUsed in a Class I, II, III, or IV (low hazard) application “Detector Check” Backflows are the same as the “Double Checks” previously described except for the addition of a “By-Pass Detector Meter” installed across the check valves. This detector meter is used to detect unauthorized water usage or system leakage. See ParkUSA Model DDBP.

OperationIn a non-flow condition, check valves in the by-pass and mainline units are closed. Flows from 0 to 5 GPM will flow through the by-pass. This operation at low flow rates is accomplished by designing the differential pressure drop across the by-pass line to be slightly less than the mainline check valves. Flows in excess of 5 GPM will open the mainline check valves for normal flow.

Reduced Pressure Backflow PreventerDescriptionUsed in a Class IV, V or VI (high hazard) applications, Reduced Pressure Assemblies are used to protect against toxic fluids in water services to industrial plants, hospitals, morgues, mortuaries, and chemical plants, and other applications requiring maximum protection. See ParkUSA Model RPBP.

OperationIn a flow condition, the check valves are open with the pressure between the checks, called the zone, being maintained at least 5 PSI lower than the inlet pressure, with the relief valve maintained closed. Should abnormal conditions arise under no flow or reversal of flow, the differential relief valve will open and discharge to maintain the zone at least 3 PSI lower than the supply. In resumption of normal flow, the zone’s differential pressure will resume and the relief valve will close.

ConstructionAll backflow assembly vaults manufactured by ParkUSA are constructed of quality precast concrete, Class I, 4500 PSI @ 28 days. Precasting the concrete shell insures that all units achieve structural and physical uniformity. The units are structurally engineered for H-20 truck loading (with H-20 cover if specified) and can be buried without any need for any other structural protection. The unit is of monolithic construction at bottom and walls to insure against joint leakage.

The backflow preventer assembly, which consists of pipe, valves, fittings, and backflow prevention devices, are pre-assembled and installed within an appropriately sized concrete vault enclosure. The assemblies are pre-tested and inspected to adhere to our strict quality control standards.

All the equipment used within the backflow assemblies are certified by one of the following associations: American Water Works Associations, American Society of Sanitary Engineering, CSA, Underwriters Laboratories, Factory Mutual, Uniform Plumbing Code, and the Foundation for the Cross-Connection Control and Hydraulic Research at the University of Southern California.

Engineering Fact SheetFor Water Meter Assemblies


General InformationClean water is a valuable resource to which Americans have become dependent for all aspects of personal, recreation, and business activities. The water originates from either below ground or surface water sources. Water utilities process and distribute the water via underground water mains.

Utility companies charge customers for the water usage. To monitor and meter the water usage, water meters are used to record this information. The water meter is generally located near the property line of the end-user’s facility. The meter is installed in a concrete vault for protection and accessibility.

There are several types of water services:• Domestic Water: Potable water for drinking and general use.• Fire Service: Used for fi re prevention systems including standpipe and sprinkler systems.

• Fire/Domestic Service: Combination domestic and fi re service.• Irrigation: Used for landscape and irrigation water service.

There is a specifi c water meter for each service application. ParkUSA offers a pre-engineered, pre-tested MeterVault System for every commercial application:

Positive Displacement MeterThis type of meter contains a hermetically sealed register, magnetic drive and positive displacement measuring chamber. This meter measures low fl ow typically associated with residential and light commercial. The available sizes are 5/8” through 2”.

Turbine MeterThe turbine meter utilizes a vane turbine element in the water fl ow stream which rotates as water fl ows through the meter body. The turbine meter is designed for applications where the fl ow is consistently moderate to high. Turbine meter sizing range from 2” through 16”.

Compound MeterThe compound meter is a combination of a positive displacement meter and a turbine meter. The compound meter is designed for high metering accuracy where extremely large variations in fl ow are anticipated. Typical applications include schools, hospitals, hotels, shopping centers, and other installations where fl ow demands vary from fractional gallons to large peak-hour demands. Compound meter sizing range from 2” through 8”.

Propeller MeterPropeller meters are designed for accountability measuring rather than revenue service. Flows must be fairly constant within a limited range, where low fl ow never occurs. General uses include industrial or utility applications with sizes ranging from 3” to 36”.

Water Meter Assembly Design ConsiderationsWhen specifying a meter assembly for an application, the engineer identifi es if the unit is to be used to meter water service for domestic water, fi re service, combination, or irrigation. The following topics will help in designing a water meter assembly.

Meter VaultThe meter vault is manufactured from high strength precast concrete providing protection and accessibility to the meter and accessories. The vault should contain an access hatchway suitable for grade level entry. The hatchway should be constructed of corrosion resistant materials and designed for either pedestrian or vehicular traffic loading. The vault should have a recessed sump for pumping out any rainwater which may enter vault.

A water meter should be selected appropriate for the application, refer to Table 1 for meter selection chart.

Strainers A strainer upstream of the meter is generally required on meters 2” and larger. The strainer provides protection to the meter by screening out debris which could damage the meter. The stainless steel element is designed to improve the water flow stream profile entering the meter. This optimized flow profile ensures accurate registration regardless of the configuration on the meter installation.

For fire service installations, the strainer must be UL Listed and FM Approved.

Valves and By-PassTo prevent water service interruption to the end-user, a by-pass line and valves for isolating the meter is incorporated to facilitate future meter calibration and maintenance. Some local water authorities may require that the by-pass valve be locked to prevent unauthorized water usage.

ConstructionAll water meter assemblies manufactured by ParkUSA are manufactured in accordance to all local and regional plumbing and fire codes. The units are assembled and factory tested to insure no leakage prior to shipping to jobsite. All meters, pipe, valves, and fittings shall be approved for their particular use by AWWA, ANSI, UL, and Factory Mutual.

Water MeterMeter vaults are constructed of quality precast concrete, Class I 4500 PSI @ 28 days. Precasting the concrete shell insures that all units achieve structural and physical uniformity. The units are structurally engineered for H-20 traffic loading if specified and can be buried without any need for any other structural protection.

The FracMAG is a self-sustaining electromagnetic water meter assembly. With the sudden boom of hydraulic fracturing operations taking place, oil and gas companies have the responsibility to measure and regulate their water usage. Typical fracturing operations occur in isolated and barren regions where electricity and water are in short supply. The FracMAG does not require the contractor to supply it with AC power; the meter can be powered with ParkUSA’s solar package option or with a lithium battery pack option,option, providing 3-6 years of power. The FracMAG is supplied completely assembled in a precast concrete vault, with an aluminum hatchway to allow maintenance on the assembly, if needed. The vault is designed to be buried below ground to provide insulation and reduce the risk of damage on a busy drill site. It provides an environmentally friendly, accurate and dependable metering solution.

Engineering Fact SheetFor Labtank Acid Neutralization Systems


General InformationWhen plumbing drainage systems include the discharge of corrosive, toxic and flammable wastes, special attention should be placed in treating the waste. Such untreated waste can physically damage a building’s plumbing system as well as the environment. Laboratories and industrial plants are common applications that require the treatment of waste.

A solution to this problem of waste treatment is the utilization of a Neutralization Tank. The LabTank® Neutralization Tank is positioned so that acidic waste is collected and passed through this tank prior to discharging into the general sewer system. The waste is chemically neutralized in this tank. It is important to note that the tank is an acid neutralizer and not intended to perform acid dilution. For optimal tank performance it is not recommended that acidic waste be further diluted prior to neutralization. Therefore, all acidic effluent should be gathered separately from other non-acidic waste and non-acidic waste should by-pass the neutralization tank.

Sizing of Neutralization TanksIt is common practice to size the LabTank based on laboratory stations or sinks. In general laboratory applications like schools or

hospitals, 10 gph per station of effluent discharge is used. Use the following size chart.

OperationAcids and alkalis can be neutralized, rendering them harmless. The degree of neutralization can be measured by the pH system (concentration of hydrogen ion). Acid pH values range from 0 to 6.99, a neutral solution is 7 and alkalis range from 7.01 to 14. The smaller the pH value, the higher the content of acidic waste. The larger the pH value the higher the content of alkaline waste.

The neutralization process occurs by the chemical reaction of calcium and magnesium carbonate with the acidic waste. The pH value is increased to 6.0 - 8.0. This range of pH in the neutralized effluent is generally acceptable for discharge into public sewer systems.

Neutralizing FillThe neutralizing medium, commonly referred to as “Chemical Rock”, consists of lump limestone or marble of the 1” to 3” size. The Chemical Rock should have a calcium carbonate content of at least 92%. After the acid neutralization tank is installed, the tank

is charged with chemical rock. The chemical rock is expendable during normal operation.

VentingThe Neutralization Tank is gas-tight, therefore venting is required. During the neutralization process the by-product is carbon dioxide gas that is not toxic, corrosive, or flammable. Venting will allow for the removal of any vapors. Venting is typically accomplished by routing a vent pipe from the tank to the building vent system.

MaintenanceThe Neutralization Tank should be inspected periodically. Upon inspection, foreign debris should be removed and Chemical Rock added if needed.

ConstructionLabTank Neutralization tanks manufactured by ParkUSA are constructed of quality precast concrete, Class II 4500 PSI @ 28 days. Precasting the concrete shell ensures that all units achieve structural and physical uniformity. The units are structurally engineered for H-20 truck loading and can be buried without any need for any other structural protection. The unit is of monolithic construction at the walls and bottom to insure against joint leakage.

An interior liner is installed within the concrete shell, which provides for resistance to abrasion and harsh chemicals. The liner is monolithic at the walls and bottom insuring against leaks. Some common lining materials include; Fiber Reinforced Polyester, High Density Polyethylene, or Polypropylene. The interior lining should be specified which best fits the application’s chemical waste and project budget.

Where exterior corrosion control, groundwater impermeability, or dual containment is necessary, an exterior wall liner is a solution. The exterior liner is provided on the concrete outer wall. Some common lining materials include; Bitumastic Waterproofing, Fiber Reinforced Polyester, High Density Polyethylene, or Polypropylene.

Leak detection systems are available to detect primary tank or pipe leakage or groundwater seepage.

Engineering Fact SheetFor Labtank Acid Neutralization Systems


LinersThe following lining materials are available for interior and exterior lining of acid neutralization tanks. Consult the chemical resistance table for proper application.

Fiber Reinforced Polyester (FRP)Reinforced with glass fibers, FRP is a two component catalyzed epoxy. The FRP liner maintains its own structural support and can be deemed as primary containment. The concrete shell functions as the outer con-tainment. FRP is economical and shows good resistance to most acids and caustics.

High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)HDPE is a high quality abrasive and chemical resistant thermoplastic with high stress-crack and impact resistance. HDPE has high structural rigidity and moderately high continuous operating temperature rating, up to 160 °F. The lining system is manufactured from 3/16” thick thermo-plastic sheets with anchor studs for embedding into the concrete outer shell. The welded panels form an interior or exterior lining which be-comes an integral part of the concrete structure.

Ceramic Brick LiningThe ceramic brick liner is the solution when fiberglass or plastic liners do not offer adequate protection. The ceramic brick liner offers permanent protection even in the harshest of chemical environments. This type of liner has traditionally been used in industrial applications such as Pulp & Paper Mills and Oil/Gas Refineries. The ceramic liner system consists of an impermeable membrane overlaid with acid proof brick. The liner can be applied to steel or concrete tanks.

pH Monitoring & Leak DetectionWhen pH monitoring and/or leak detection is required, several options are available. For budget projects, a visual detection system consisting of an access cover or pipe in the secondary tank is available. Routine inspection is required to ensure warning in the case of a leak.

Engineering Fact SheetFor Pump Lift Stations

EFS-LS12

General InformationThe pump lift station is used to receive sanitary wastewater or stormwater and move this through a collection system. The lift station can be used to temporally store the wastewater, but it is generally used to transfer liquid that cannot gravity-flow on its own. The submersible pump lift station system is a very reliable and cost effective solution where a pump system is required. The submersible pump is a vertical, close-coupled electric motor powered pump that resides underwater. The pumps operate quietly and are cooled by the liquid which maximizes their life span.

System ComponentsThe submersible pump lift station system includes the following components:

• Pump-motor unit (“simplex” for single pump, “duplex” for two pumps)

• Wet well basin with access cover

• Pump removal apparatus, usually called the guide rail system

• Electrical panel and controls

• Shut off valves, check valves, and piping

Pumps-Motor UnitsMost pump stations are designed for multiple pump installations. The duplex system is the most common where the two pumps alternate in operation to equalize the wear of the pumps and to keep the wet well from solids build-up. The multiple pump system offers continued operation in the case of a pump failure, removal for servicing and also provides extra capacity in times of extraordinary loading. There are three types of submersible pumps:

Effluent Pumps are small submersible pumps typically used on small applications like residential septic systems or basement sumps. The discharge size is typically 1-1/4” to 2” with flow rates up to 30 gpm and horsepower ranging from fractional to 2 HP.

Grinder Pumps are designed to disintegrate or grind the solids in wastewater thus reducing discharge pipe size and creating a pressurized system. Grinder pumps are used on small to medium sized commercial applications. The discharge pipe size is 2” and 3”, with flow rates up to 100 gpm, and horsepower ranging from 2 to 7-1/5 HP.

Non-Clog Pumps are as the name implies, can handle solids greater than 2” and have a minimum of 3” discharge. Non-clog pumps are used in commercial, industrial, and municipal applications. Flow rates range from 80 gpm to over 5,000 gpm with horsepower ranging from 2 to 100 HP.

Wet Well StationsThe wet well structure for a submersible pump system is generally located below grade. Buried wet wells require strength and corrosion resistance making precast concrete the best choice. Fiberglass and coated steel wet wells are recommended for above ground installations like basements or parking garages. Wet wells range from 4’ to 12’ diameter with depths up to 30’. An access hatchway is located at the top of the wet well to permit visual examination of the wet well interior and the removal or installation of the pumps. The hatchway is

Pump Lift Stations manufactured from coated steel or aluminum. A locking arm allows for the hatch to be locked in an open position during servicing. The hatchway should be specified as rated for either pedestrian or traffic duty.

Guide Rail SystemThe guide rail system is unique to the submersible pump system. It allows for pump removal, inspection, servicing, and reinsertion of the pump with no need for the service personnel to enter the wet well. The rail system consists of either galvanized or stainless steel vertical pipe rails which extend from the base plate at bottom of the wet well to the access cover. During insertion of the pump, the pump is lowered down the rails and fitted to the discharge pipe by means of a quick-disconnect sealing flange. A chain or cable is attached to each pump and extends up to the access cover. The pumps are lifted by means of a portable or permanent hoist.

Electrical ControlsThe submersible pump system relies on an electrical liquid level control system for operating the pumps and to monitor the system. The controls include a control panel mounted above ground and multiple float switches located in the wet well. The control panel should be weatherproof for outdoor installation. The panel contains pump disconnects; starters with overload protection, hands-off-automatic selectors and alarm systems to indicate high liquid level conditions.

Valves & PipingThe submersible lift station has at least one inlet pipe where the wastewater enters the wet well. When the liquid level rises to a predetermined level, the pumps are energized. The liquid passes through the pump impeller and is forced out through the discharge pipe and into the sewer.

A check valve and a gate valve are used on each discharge line to prevent backflow and allow isolation of each pump for servicing. These valves are usually located in the wetwell where the discharge piping is 2” or less. When the piping is 3” or larger an external valve pit assembly is necessary.

Site ConsiderationsAfter the need for a pump station is determined, the next step is to select a site for the unit. The best location can vary on many factors.

• Drainage patterns• Land ownership• Traffic patterns• Vehicle access• Location of utilities• Aesthetics and odor control

SecurityThe depth of the incoming sewer lines determines the depth of the lift station wet well below ground level. The lift station should be designed so that the top of the station is above grade at all times. The area site grading should insure that the drainage water flows away from the station. Every effort should be made to locate away from flood-prone areas. If this is not possible, a flood-tight cover should be specified and controls mounted high enough to prevent submergence. In the event that the station is to be located in a vehicular traffic area, heavy-duty access covers should be specified.

Engineering Fact SheetFor Grease Interceptors

EFS-ANT12

General InformationSewers back up an estimated 400,000 times each year in the United States causing approximately 40,000 municipal sanitary system overflows (SSO). The EPA has determined that sewer pipe blockages are the leading cause of SSO’s and grease is the primary cause of sewer blockages.

Grease interceptors are devices designed to reduce the amount of FOG (Fats, Oil and Greases) in wastewater. Grease interceptors are used in establishments to remove excessive amounts of grease that may interfere with the proper drainage and treatment of wastewater. Even if accumulated FOG does not escalate into blockages and SSO’s, it will disrupt wastewater treatment operations and increase costs. most local plumbing codes prohibit any industrial user from discharging FOG over 100 (mg/l) into the public sewer system.

The general doctrine, of most Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJs), is one of “user pay”, especially when it comes to solid waste. Therefore, it makes sense for establishments that create FOG to be responsible for its collection and disposal. Otherwise, the burden is on the municipality and ultimately the taxpayer to pay for sewer blockages and grease overloads at sewer treatment plants. It is prudent for the consultant engineer to utilize a Best Management Practice (BMP) that includes adequate sizing for the grease interceptor.

Typical applications include commercial and institutional kitchens and food processing plants. The waste discharge from these facilities usually contains high temperature water, high organic loads, FOG, suspended food particles, and detergents.

New plumbing codes have eliminated the term “grease trap” from the code and now designated “Hydromechanical” Grease interceptor and “Gravity” Grease interceptor as the two types of grease interceptors. Park® sells both units, but Gravity Grease interceptors are by far the design of choice by engineers and city officials.

Hydromechanical Grease Interceptors incorporate air entrapment, the buoyancy of grease in the water and hydromechanical separations with interior baffling for FOG separation. Hydromechanical units incorporate a flow-control device that controls velocity as it enters the interceptor.

These are typically smaller interceptors installed indoors in the floor or under-the-sink. Hydromechanical grease interceptors require cleaning every 2-4 days and are typically cleaned by kitchen personnel. City health departments have concerns regarding proper cleanout and accurate documentation of maintenance. Many major cities have prohibited the installation of hydromechanical interceptors within food preparation areas without special variances.

Hydromechanical units are sized by determining flow-through rate (gpm) at peak demand for each fixture draining into the unit.

Check with the local AHJ before specifying Hydromechanical units to determine if the jurisdiction allows these type units.

Gravity Grease Interceptors incorporate two or more compartments in series and use its inherent larger volume to maximize the pretreatment of the wastewater. By comparison, the Gravity Interceptor is more effective because of its larger volume that acts as a heat-sink. This allows for temperature differential (cool down) and more retention time

of the greasy liquid to promote separation and coagulation of FOGs from the wastewater. The Gravity Interceptor also allows for solids retention from food grinders.

Gravity grease interceptors are generally located outdoors away from the kitchen areas. This eliminates the health department concerns regarding maintenance and disposal of FOGs. Recent findings by EPA of SSOs in cities and accompanying fines have caused states and municipalities to require haulers of grease to be registered. Owners are required to maintain documentation of “pump-out” for review by the health department.

MaintenanceOne of the most important features for the successful operation of the grease interceptor is the maintenance program. Regardless of the size or design, an interceptor is only as good as its maintenance program. The interceptor should be located so that it will be easily accessible for inspection, cleaning and removal of collected FOG. The interceptor should be located near the source of the wastewater for the protection of the piping system.

There should be an adequate number of access manholes to permit

34


EFS-ANT12

access for cleaning all areas of the interceptor. Access manholes should be located near the inlet and the outlet. The manholes should not be less than 20” in size. All manholes should extend to grade and be suitable for traffic loading for indoor and sensitive areas.

The grease interceptor should be cleaned (or pumped out) routinely to insure grease detention performance. Cleaning should be performed when the interceptor is at 75% of grease retention. The frequency of cleaning at any given installation will vary depending on use. Pumping frequencies for restaurants range from 30 to 90 days. Most AHJs have minimum requirements for pump out and require pump out manifest records be maintained for review by local health departments. Typically, pump out companies are required to be registered with the state’s water quality agency.

Grease Interceptor SizingGravity Grease Interceptors are recommended to be sized utilizing Best Management Practices (BMP). The commonly used BMP sizing methods are the Seating Method and the Drainage Fixture Unit Method (2012 UPC). All methods are based on sizing according to local plumbing codes and on years of field performance testing with methods utilizing the relationship of the probable flow rate and retention time to estimate the grease interceptor size.

Seating Method:The different variables include number of seats or beds, gallons of wastewater per meal, storage capacity factor, number of hours open and loading factor.

(D) x (MF) x (GL) x (RT) x (ST) = Size of Grease Interceptor (gallons)

130 x 1.00 x 5 x 2.5 x 1.0 = 1625 gallonsA 2,000 Gallon interceptor is selected

Example #2:A popular Fast Food Restaurant is being designed with a seating capacity of 50 people, a single service kitchen, and a 24 hour operation schedule:(D) x (MF) x (GO) x (RT) x (ST)= Size of Grease Interceptor (gal)

50 x 1.33 x 2 x 1.5 x 3.0 = 598.5 gallonsA 750 Gallon Interceptor is selected

Drainage Fixture Unit Method:The DFU method of sizing typically results in a smaller grease interceptor than is recommended by ParkUSA but conforms to the latest 2012 Uniform Plumbing Code. The use of this method of sizing may result in a system that requires continuous maintenance and/or will clog facility piping and municipal sanitary systems.

Per UPC handbook definitions, a Fixture Unit is a quantity in terms of which the load-producing effects on the plumbing system of different kinds of plumbing fixtures are expressed on some arbitrarily chosen scale.

The first step is to quantify all the fixtures that could receive kitchen-type waste. It is important to note that only the fixtures that receive kitchen related waste are tabulated (not toilets, urinals, etc...) As published in IPC Table 709.1 or UPC Table 7-3, DFU’s are tabulated for all the plumbing fixtures.

The following table from UPC Section 702.0, Fixture Unit Equivalents, covers fixtures and devices not shown in Table 7-3 and is more applicable to commercial establishments.

Example:An Industrial Food Processing Plant has the following fixtures:

• Six floor drains• Three hand sinks• Two 3-compartment sinks• Four 2-compartment sinks• A pot sink• A 20 gpm dishwasher discharging into a dedicated receptor

• A mop sink.

The fixtures are tabulated as follows:

Fixtures DFU’s6 4” Floor Drains @ 2 DFU’s each = 123 Hand Sinks 2 DFU’s each = 62 3-Comp Service Sinks 4 DFU’s each = 84 2-Comp Service Sinks 2 DFU’s each = 81 Pot Sinks 4 DFU’s each = 41 Dishwasher 4 DFU’s each = 41 Mop Sinks 2 DFU ea = 2

Total = 44

A total of 44 DFU’s are calculated. From the table provided above, a 1,250 gallon grease interceptor is selected.

Worksheets:Attached are two worksheets presented as typical examples of tools ParkUSA offers to help with sizing. The first worksheet addresses the DFU method and second worksheet presents the Seating/Meals method.

Engineering Fact SheetFor Lint Interceptors

EFS-LT12

General InformationLint interceptors are used in non-private establishments to remove excessive amounts of lint and silt that may interfere with the proper drainage and treatment of waste water. Local plumbing codes generally require the installation of a lint interceptor where there is a sufficient amount of waste material. Typical applications include commercial/institutional laundromats and dry-cleaners. The waste discharge from these facilities usually contains high quantities of lint, silt, dissolved and suspended solids, as well as detergents.

Both UPC and IPC Plumbing Codes require the interceptor to be equipped with a debris screen, wire basket or similar device, removable for cleaning, that prevents string, rags, buttons and other materials ½ inch (12.7 mm) or larger from entering the public sewer system.

OperationThe purpose of the lint interceptor is to intercept the liquid lint/silt laden wastewater and retain it for a sufficient amount of time, which allows for cool-down, thus promoting separation and fall-out of the lint/silt.

A lint interceptor, or commonly referred to as a “lint trap”, is typically located outside of the building and buried below grade. The principle advantage is the cooling effect obtained from the earth. The buried interceptor is typically constructed of precast concrete, providing years of continuous service. The interceptor contains several compartments where the lint will coagulate and float to the surface, and heavier solids will sink to the bottom. The discharging effluent comprises of the clearer water between these layers.

Interceptor Design ConsiderationsOne of the most important features for the successful operation of the lint interceptor is the maintenance program. Regardless of the size or design, an interceptor is only as good as its maintenance program. For this reason, most plumbing codes require the interceptor be installed and located so that it will be easily accessible for inspection, cleaning and removal of intercepted waste products.

There should be an adequate number of manholes to permit access for cleaning all areas of the interceptor. A manhole should be located near the inlet and the outlet. The manhole should not be less than 20” in the least dimension. All manholes should extend to grade. The interceptor should be located near the source of the wastewater for the protection of the piping system. The lint interceptor should be buried so as to intercept the building sewer. Inlet and outlet piping shall be a minimum of 4” or the size of the building sewer, whichever is greater. Most jurisdictions require a sampling well on the discharging side of the interceptor so that an inspector can verify proper treatment or maintenance.

Types of Lint Interceptors The ParkUSA Model LTSC Lint Interceptor is a wastewater lint separator featuring one and two compartments, each accessible via 24” diameter manways. A reusable & removable stainless steel screen filter is contained in the effluent compartment to prevent solids from exiting into the public sewer system. All

solids are detained inside the separator for removal by a waste disposal service. The separator can detain a large quantity of solid debris separator over extended amount of time. The Model LTSC Lint Interceptor is ideal for project applications that have no onsite maintenance personnel and maintained on an infrequent basis.

Lint Interceptors

The ParkUSA Model LTSSB Solids Interceptor is a wastewater solids separator featuring a compact design with a single compartment accessible via a 24” diameter manway. A removable & cleanable stainless steel screen filter basket is contained within the compartment to screen and detain solids from the wastewater before the fluid

exits into the public sewer system. The solids are removed and disposed of by removing the basket filter and emptying into a solid waste receptacle. After cleaning, the screen filter is placed back into the separator and placed back into service. The Model SSB Solids interceptor is designed for project applications that have onsite m a i n t e n a n c e personnel, who can service the unit on a routine basis.

Engineering Fact SheetFor Lint Interceptors

EFS-LT12

MaintenanceThe lint interceptor should be cleaned (or pumped out) routinely to prevent the escape of appreciable quantities of lint, silt and suspended solids. Cleaning should be performed when the interceptor is at 75% of lint/silt retention. The frequency of cleaning at any given installation will vary depending on use. Pumping frequencies for Laundromats usually range from once a month, to once every six months.

Construction Lint interceptors manufactured by ParkUSA are available in precast concrete, steel, or fiberglass construction.

The ParkUSA LT Series Interceptor is manufactured of Class II 4500 PSI precast concrete. Precasting the concrete shell insures that all units achieve structural and physical uniformity. The units are structurally engineered for H-20 truck loading and can be buried without need for any other structural protection. The unit is of monolithic construction at bottom and walls to insure against joint leakage.

The ParkUSA LTS Series Interceptor is a steel unit and is recommended for application where the lint interceptor is installed in a freestanding position, i.e., in a basement or on a slab.

The ParkUSA LTF Series Interceptor is manufactured fiberglass or plastic and is used where lightweight construction is required

Sizing Lint InterceptorsThe lint interceptor is generally sized according to the local plumbing code. The different variables include number of washing machines, wastewater flow rate, wastewater detention time, storage factor, and detention time. Establishments with more than 30 washing machines need to have the lint interceptor sized by a Registered Professional Engineer.

Best Management Practice (BMP):This BMP for commercial laundromats has proven effective for over a quarter century. The method originated from established plumbing codes and has been utilized by many “Authorities Having Jurisdiction” (AHJ). The following BMP for sizing follows:

1. Laundromats(TGC) x (CPH) x (RT) x (ST) = Size (gallons) of Interceptor

TGC = Total Gallons Per Cycle

CPH = Cycles per Hour

RT = Retention Time:

2.52.01.5

Institutional LaundryStandard LaundryLight Commercial Laundry

ST = Storage Factor, based on hours of operation

1.01.5

Operation of 8 HoursOperation of 12 or more hours

Example:A typical commercial Laundromat has 30 small washing machines and 2 large machines. The manufacturer states that small machines use 38 gallons of water per complete wash cycle of 25 minutes. The large machines use 52 gallons per each complete wash cycle of 30 minutes. The Laundromat will be open 16 hours a day. What size interceptor is required to connect to a private sewage disposal system?

Solution:The first step is to determine the total number of gallons per cycle. Use the manufactures’ data on the washing machines if available. (In absence of this data, use 50 gallons per wash cycle per machine).

1. Number of machines: 30 small Numbers of machines: 2 large

2. TGC = 30 x 38 gallons/cycle = 1140 gallons/cycle + 2 x 52 gallons/cycle = 104 gallons/cycle

1244 gallons/cycle

3. CPH = 2 cycles per hour

4. Retention Time RT = 2.0 hours

5. Storage Factor ST = 1.5

Using the formula:

(TGC) x (CPH) x (RT) x (ST) = Size of Interceptor (gallons)(1244) x (2) x (2.0) x (1.5) = 7464 Gallons

For Larger Sizes and other commercial or industrial applications, contact our engineering department @ 888-611-7275

Typical Amendment by cities for smaller Laundromats:1. Laundry with 5 to 10 washing machines

500-Gallon Capacity (LintTrooper® LT-500)

2. Laundry with 11 to 20 washing machines 1,000-Gallon Capacity (LintTrooper® LT-1000)

3. Laundry with 21 to 30 washing machines 1,500-Gallon Capacity (LintTrooper® LT-1500)

Establishments with more than 30 washing machines shall be sized by a Registered Professional Engineer.

Engineering Fact SheetFor Sand-Mud Interceptors

EFS-SM12

General InformationSand-mud interceptors are used in commercial establishments to remove excessive amounts of sand-mud and silt, which may interfere with the proper drainage and treatment of wastewater. Local plumbing codes generally require the installation of a sand-mud interceptor prior to discharging into the public sanitary sewer system. Optional debris baskets are available to prevent solids greater than one-half inch (1/2”) in mass from entering public sewer system. Typical applications include vehicle/equipment wash down, maintenance garages, and manufacturing facilities. The waste discharge from these facilities usually contain high inorganic loads, including sand-mud/silt and detergents.

OperationThe purpose of the sand-mud interceptor is to intercept the wastewater and retain it for a sufficient amount of time, which allows for separation of the solids from the water.

The sand-mud interceptor is typically located outside of the building and buried below grade. The buried interceptor is typically constructed of precast concrete, providing years of continuous service. The interceptor is divided into several compartments where solids will sink to the bottom. Clarified effluent discharges into the sanitary sewer, typically through an approved sample well fixture.

Interceptor Design ConsiderationsOne of the most important features for the successful operation of the sand-mud interceptor is the maintenance program. Regardless of the size or design, an interceptor is only as good as its maintenance program. For this reason, most plumbing codes require the interceptor to be installed and located so that it will be easily accessible for inspection, cleaning, and removal of intercepted waste products. There should be an adequate number of manholes to permit access for cleaning all areas of the interceptor. A manhole should be located near the inlet and the outlet. The manhole should not be less than 20” in size. All manholes should extend to grade. The interceptor should be located near the source of the wastewater for the protection of the piping system. The sand-mud interceptor should be buried so as to intercept the building sewer. Inlet and outlet piping shall be a minimum of 4” or the size of the building sewer, whichever is greater. Most jurisdictions require a sampling well on the discharging side of the interceptor so that an inspector can verify proper treatment or maintenance.

MaintenanceThe frequency of cleaning at any given installation will vary depending on use. The sand-mud interceptor should be cleaned (or pumped out) routinely to prevent the escape of appreciable quantities of solids. Sand-mud and silt should be removed before accumulations reduce storage capacity and detention time of the interceptor. A professional pumping company familiar with regulations regarding proper disposal, should handle pumpout maintenance.

Construction Sand-mud interceptors manufactured by Park are available in precast concrete, steel, or fiberglass construction.

The ParkUSA SM & SMC* Interceptors are manufactured of Class II, 4500 PSI precast concrete. Precasting the concrete shell insures that all units achieve structural and physical uniformity. The units are structurally engineered for H-20 truck loading and can be buried without need for any other structural protection. The unit is of monolithic construction at bottom and walls to insure against joint leakage.

The ParkUSA SMS & SMSC* Series Interceptors are steel units and are recommended for application where the Sand - Mud Interceptor is installed in a freestanding position, i.e., in a basement or on a slab.

The ParkUSA SMF & SMFC* Series Interceptors are manufactured with fiberglass or plastic designs and are used where lightweight construction is required.

*The “C” designates addition of a debris basket to intercept solids greater than one-half inch (1/2”).

Engineering Fact SheetFor Sand-Mud Interceptor


Sizing Sand-Mud InterceptorsThe sand-mud interceptor is generally sized according to the local plumbing code. A typical method is to determine the total fixture unit loading of the sewer system being serviced by the interceptor. The fixture unit total is converted to flow rate (1 fixture unit = 7.5 GPM). The flow rate is multiplied by the minimum detention time to determine the interceptor capacity.

Example:A common application is an automobile service garage. The garage has 3 floor drains and 1 service sink, which are to be serviced by a sand-mud interceptor. The total fixture unit loading is:

3(2 f.u.) + 1(3 f.u.) = 9 fixture unitsand

9 fixture units X 7.5 GPM = 67.5 GPMOnce the maximum flow rate (GPM) is determined, it is multiplied by the desired detention time of the wastewater within the interceptor. Generally, a detention time of 30 minutes is sufficient. Therefore, a flow rate of 67.5 GPM will require an interceptor of:

67.5 GPM X 30 Minutes = 2,025 GallonsThe Park Equipment Company Model SM-2500 is specified.

Engineering Fact SheetFor Sand-Oil Separators

EFS-CMP12

General InformationWastewater that contains significant amounts of oils or solids, that interfere with the proper drainage and treatment of wastewater, must be treated before being discharged into the sanitary sewer system. To comply with effluent water quality standards mandated by the EPA and local plumbing codes, wastewater treatment utilizing oil/water separators is common. The CMP (Coalescing Media Pack) Separator consist of a three compartment precast concrete vault which utilizes an enhanced gravity technique for oil separation: the patented coalescing media pack. Typical applications include vehicle maintenance and wash down facilities, fueling depots, parking lots, and storm water runoff.

OperationThe function of the Sand-Oil CMP Separator is to intercept free oils/solids and retain them for periodic removal. The wastewater is treated by the separator in two stages. The initial stage of treatment occurs as the inflow strikes a corrugated diffusion plate. This process is known as the Buffalo-Morse Principle. Solids and oil are separated through velocity reduction and sinusoidal flow patterns. Heavy solids settle and 100% oil slugs rise immediately to the surface.

The second stage of treatment occurs as the wastewater flows through the Coalescing Media Pack (CMP). Both the smaller oil droplets and fine solids are progressively separated. Downstream, the oil dam prevents collected oil from entering the outlet piping.

The Coalescing Media PackTM consists of closely spaced corrugated plates manufactured with an oleophilic (oil attracting) material. The patented plates are an enhanced version of the plates utilizing the Royal Dutch Shell Principle. The corrugated pattern induces a sinusoidal laminar flow of the oily water mixture. Under laminar flow conditions, buoyancy forces cause oil droplets to rise until they adhere themselves to the

oleophilic plates. Small oil droplets tend to coalesce into sheets of oil on the underside surfaces of the corrugated plates. The sinusoidal flow path also promotes a high incidence of droplet collision as the fluid flow constantly changes direction from a downward path to a vertical path. The coalescing oil rises to the surface in large globules through weep holes or gutters in the coalescing plate pack.

Interceptor Design ConsiderationsFor general commercial applications, the standard Oil/Water CMP Separators are recommended. The parameters used in designing these gravity flow units are: ambient fluid temperatures (40-60F), standard atmospheric conditions, oil/water specific gravity differential of 0.15, pH of 6-8 and an influent oil concentration of 400 ppm or less. The resultant effluent oil concentration of the wastewater should be less than 15 ppm which conforms to EPA regulations.

Engineering Fact SheetFor Sand-Oil Separators

EFS-CMP12

The oil/water separator should be located so as to intercept the building sewer. The separator should be installed so that it will be easily accessible for inspection, cleaning, and removal of separated waste products. There should be an adequate number of separator access openings to permit cleaning and/or removal of the coalescing plate packs. All access manholes should extend to grade. The separator should be located near the source of the wastewater for maximum protection of the piping system. The inlet and outlet piping shall be a minimum of 4” or the size of the building sewer, whichever is greater. Most jurisdictions require a sampling well on the discharging side of the separator so that an inspector can verify proper treatment or maintenance.

MaintenanceThe frequency of cleaning at any given installation will vary depending on use. The Sand Oil Separator should be inspected at least bi-annually. The High Oil Alarm system will notify of immediate servicing requirements.

When necessary, the separator should be pumped out by a licensed pumping company familiar with regulations regarding proper disposal.

Sizing of Oil/Water CMP InterceptorsThe oil/water separator is selected based on anticipated flow rate (gpm) and type influent discharged through the interceptor.

The flow rate can be estimated by summing up all the fixture units as listed in the plumbing code manual and converting this into flow rate (gpm). Once flow rate is established, ParkUSA uses a Mpak® proprietary computer-modeling program, which utilizes Stoke’s Law, droplet size distribution, particle rise, and other relevant input to make accurate performance predictions. This sizing technique assures a “site-specific” custom design for every application.

ConstructionOil/Water separators manufactured by ParkUSA are available in precast concrete, steel, or fiberglass construction.

The ParkUSA SOCMP-S Series Separator is a steel unit and is recommended for applications where the separator is installed in a freestanding position, i.e. basement or on a slab.

The ParkUSA SOCMP-F Series Separator is manufactured fiberglass or plastic and is used where lightweight construction is required.

The ParkUSA SOCMP Series Separator is manufactured of Class II 4500 PSI precast concrete. Precasting the concrete shell insures that all units achieve structural and physical uniformity. The units are structurally engineered for H-20 truck loading and can be buried without any need for any other structural protection. The unit is of monolithic construction at bottom to insure against joint leakage.

Engineering Fact SheetFor Elevator Sump Systems

EFS-ESC12

General InformationIn the event of a fire, significant amounts of water may be discharged from a building’s elevator sprinkler system. This discharge can create a number of safety challenges for firefighters needing constant elevator access during emergencies. To address this safety need, many states have adopted ASME Code A17.1-2007/CSA B44-07 which requires that elevator pits be capable of automatically removing a minimum of 3,000 gallons of discharge per hour (50 gpm) per elevator car. Each pump must be fully automatic, without need of manual intervention. The discharge piping is typically required to have an accessible check valve on the effluent side of the pump for service of the valve or pump. The pump should be located in a pit below the elevator shaft floor and should have an access cover at the level of the bottom of the elevator shaft. While ASME A17.1 addresses discharge requirements for elevator pits, there still remains a need to comply with effluent water quality standards mandated by local plumbing codes. If the elevator is hydraulic, there must be an oil interceptor installed with the spill capacity of all hydraulic fluids in all cars. A sample well or test well should be installed on the effluent side of the interceptor before discharging into the sanitary sewer system. ParkUSA’s Elevator Oil-Water Interceptor is specific to commercial applications requiring compliance to all relevant codes.

OperationThe function of the Elevator Oil-Water Interceptor is to intercept free oil/solids and retain them for periodic removal. The interceptor may be designed for either a “gravity flow” or “pumped flow” application. Oily wastewater flows into the inlet chamber then flows through the oleophilic coalescing plates to separate oils/solids from water. Oils rise to the surface within the coalescing plate pack and clarified effluent discharges to the sanitary sewer via a sample well. Depending on the application,

the oil-water interceptor may be installed below the elevator pit floor, at pit floor level, or at a remote location. The interceptor is constructed of steel, fiberglass, or precast concrete providing years of continuous service. The interceptor is divided into several compartments where elevator discharge oil will coalesce and reside on the surface.

System ComponentsThe ParkUSA Elevator Oil-Water Interceptor is available with the following components:

• Steel Separator• High Oil Alarm Panel (intrinsic safe) • Pump Control Panel (intrinsic safe) • Elevator Sump Pump (explosion proof)

Interceptor Design ConsiderationsOne of the most important features for the successful operation of the Elevator Oil-Water Interceptor is the maintenance program. Regardless of the size or design, an interceptor is only as good as its maintenance program. For this reason, most plumbing codes require the interceptor be installed and located so that it will be easily accessible for inspection, cleaning, and removal of intercepted hydrocarbons.

MaintenanceThe frequency of cleaning at any given installation will vary depending on use. The Elevator Oil-Water Separator should be inspected at least biannually. The High Oil Alarm system will warn facility of any immediate servicing requirements. When necessary, the separator should be pumped out by a licensed pumping company familiar with regulations regarding proper disposal.

Sizing Elevator Oil-Water InterceptorsThe Oil-Water Interceptor is generally sized according to the local plumbing code. States that have adopted ASME A17.1 require that each elevator be able to remove 3,000 gal/hour. A typical method to determine the total fixture unit loading of the interceptor is to multiply the number of elevator cars times 50 gpm and allow for any additional fixture units designed to drain to the interceptor.

Example:A common application would be a building with four (4) elevator shafts with containment sumps discharging 50 gpm each. The Elevator Oil-Water Separator requirement would be 200 gpm.

General Information Operation

With the release of the ASME A17.1-2007/CSA B44 Safety Code for Elevators & Escalators, a new era has started for elevator safety codes. The new code is a fully bi-national standard. An important requirement of new and existing elevator applications, is the removal of all water and oil from elevator hoistways. Using the latest in technology, The ParkUSA Elevader™ Elevator system is engineered to this safety code.

The ParkUSA EleVader™ Elevator System is a complete, fully integrated and packaged system that contains required alarm features. Per the ASME A17.1 Safety & Building code, for all elevators with firefighters emergency operation, a sump pit & pump (50 GPM each shaft) shall be provided. The intent of the code is to remove water from the shaft regardless of what contaminates are contained.

The EleVader™ Sump System includes the following:

Sump PumpSubmersible Sump located in the sump area of the elevator. Each hoistway is required to have a pump capable of removing all fluids at 50 GPM per elevator car.

Oil/Water SeparatorThe Separator is located either freestanding (Model ES) on floor near shaft, or can be located outdoors (Model ESC) & buried below grade. The separator is rated from 50 to 400gpm depending on the quantity of elevator shafts to be served.

Control SystemThe Control System consists of float sensors and a unified control panel (NEMA 4X weatherproof) that is wall mounted near the elevator shaft. The control panel has 3 principal operations:

A. Operates the sump pump, On/Off depending on shaft water levels, has a “Hand Off-Auto” Switch, a pump, a “Pump Run” light, and an auxiliary contact for a BAS System.

B. Indicates “Sump High Level” light & horn, a “Silence” button, and auxiliary contacts for the BAS System.

C. Indicates “High Oil Level” of the separator, in the event of a high accumulation of oil. The panel has a “Separator High Level” light & horn, a “Silence” button, and an auxiliary contact for a BAS System.

Engineering Fact SheetFor StormTrooper Stormwater Interceptor

EFS-SWST12

General InformationStormwater runoff from urban areas carries pollutants and trash into the storm drainage system. Unlike sanitary sewer systems, stormwater typically receives no treatment. Polluted stormwater eventually drains into public waterways, rivers, aquifers, lakes, and oceans. The pollutants can contain significant amounts of oils and sediment from impervious areas, which could be harmful to the environment, both biologically and aesthetically.Although dramatic improvements have been made to the Nation’s waters, degraded bodies of water still exist. Approximately 40% of surveyed U.S. bodies of water are still impaired by pollution and do not meet current water quality standards. A leading source of this impairment is polluted runoff.Most stormwater discharges are considered nonpoint sources and require coverage by an EPA NPDES permit. The primary method to control stormwater discharge is through the use of Best Management Practices (BMP).

Impervious areas that are subject to stormwater runoff include roof tops, parking lots, streets, airport runways/taxiways, vehicle maintenance yards, wash down areas and yard areas of industrial and manufacturing facilities.OperationThe function of the StormTrooper® stormwater interceptor is to intercept free oils/solids and retain them for periodic removal. The StormTrooper® interceptor is designed to treat a finite amount of stormwater, typically sized for the initial flow rate of a storm event. Most studies have shown that the pollutants are found in this “first-flush” stormwater discharge. Stormwater runoff can range from low to very high flow rates. A high flow rate can be detrimental to a stormwater interceptor in that excessive flows tend to scour (stir up) the existing retained pollutants left from the previous storm event. The StormTrooper® controls high flow rates by utilizing a control manhole. The control manhole is engineered to divert the design flow through the interceptor while bypassing high flows to the storm sewer.

Low FlowStormwater runoff flows into the inlet of the control manhole. Stormwater is then diverted from the bypass weir to the interceptor. The stormwater debris, oils, and sediments are filtered and separated. The flow is discharged via the outlet of the control manhole to the Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4).High FlowStormwater runoff flows into the inlet of the control manhole. During high flow conditions, stormwater rises over the bypass weir and is discharged via the outlet of the control manhole to the MS4. Trash is collected in the control manhole debris screen.Treated StormwaterAs water enters the treatment chamber of the interceptor, trash and light debris are filtered through a screen; heavy oils immediately rise to the surface, Total Suspended Solids (TSS) sink to the bottom. The remaining oily water mixture flows through the second chamber. Both the smaller oil droplets and the finer TSS are progressively separated. Coalescing media is used to separate significant concentrations of hydrocarbons. In the final stage, effluent is discharged at the bottom of the interceptor preventing collected pollutants from entering the outlet piping. Collected oils and solids will remain in the interceptor until removal. MaintenanceThe frequency of cleaning at any given installation will vary depending on use. The StormTrooper® stormwater interceptor should be cleaned (or pumped out) routinely to prevent the escape of appreciable quantities of detained pollutants. Sediment should be removed before accumulations effectively reduce storage capacity and detention time of the interceptor. Hydrocarbon- absorbing pillows, when used, should be properly disposed of and replaced when full. A professional pumping company familiar with regulations regarding proper disposal should pump out the interceptor.

Best Management Practices (BMP)Under the Storm Water Phase II Final Rule, urbanized areas where construction disturbs one acre or more must develop water quality controls. The Final Rule requires a water quality system design that will reduce TSS loadings by an average of 80% annually. A professional engineer must develop a Best Management Practice Plan (BMP) to obtain a NPDES number from permitting authorities. Typically, a designer utilizes site specific runoff coefficients and rainfall intensity rates to develop the hydrology calculations and structural control systems that become a Storm Water Quality Management Plan (SWQMP) or BMP.

Using the “First Flush Principle” has become the acceptable means of determining treated stormwater flow rates. The initial runoff flow will be more polluted than the stormwater that runs off later, after the rainfall has “cleansed” the catchment area. The stormwater containing this high initial pollutant load will be treated with the StormTrooper® Stormwater Interceptor. Most studies have found that significant concentration pollutant loads are retained when at least 90% of the storm events are treated.

To determine the treated flow rate required of the stormwater interceptor, the flow rate of the first flush is estimated. An accepted practice is to calculate the drainage using the Rational Method for estimating design peak discharge from a small watershed or the total acreage of a development.

The StormTrooper® System should be located downstream of stormwater runoff for maximum performance, typically the final conveyance before stormwater exits the property. The stormwater interceptor is usually buried allowing for gravity flow of the runoff. The interceptor should be installed and located so that it will be easily accessible for inspection, cleaning, and removal of separated pollutants. There should be an adequate number of interceptor access openings to permit cleaning of all compartments. All access manholes should extend to grade.

Example:A common application is stormwater run-off from a 12 acre commercial building site. The stormwater run-off consists of trace amounts of oil, litter, and road grime. Using the Rational Method, and an average Runoff Coefficient of C=.80, the treated flow rate is calculated:

Qgpm = Aacre x C x I x 449

This example recomends the StormTrooper® Model SWST-20C Rated for 1,125 gpm (or 2.51cfs).

Note: The StormTrooper® interceptor is designed for stormwater runoff from typical commercial applications where light amounts of oil & contaminants are found (e.g., parking lots). For Industrial applications where excessive pollutants are present, the StormTrooper® EX Extra-Duty (over 1000 ppm) is recommended. Contact our engineering department for sizing assistance @ 800-256-8041.

ConstructionThe StormTrooper® SWST Series Interceptor is manufactured with Class II 4500 PSI precast concrete. Precasting the concrete shell insures that all units achieve structural and physical uniformity. The units are structurally engineered for H-20 truck loading and can be buried without any need for any other structural protection. The unit is of monolithic construction at bottom and walls to insure against joint leakage.

The StormTrooper® SWSTS Series Interceptor is a steel unit and is recommended for applications where the interceptor is installed in a freestanding position, i.e., in a basement or on a slab.

Engineering Fact SheetFor Anaerobic Sewage Treatment Systems

EFS-STS12

General InformationWhen a public sewer system is not available, a building sewer is required to have an on-site wastewater treatment system. Local and state authorities typically regulate this type of private sewage disposal system.

There are two main types of on-site wastewater treatment systems:

1. Anaerobic - no oxygen2. Aerobic - with oxygen

This document will discuss the typical Anaerobic treatment system.

The typical anaerobic treatment system will consist of a septic tank with the effluent discharging into a sub-surface soil absorption field, bed, one or more seepage pits, or a combination of these.

OperationThe domestic sewage that discharges down the building sewer is composed of water and waste matter. There are two types of waste matter, suspended solids like coffee grounds and dissolved solids like sugar in coffee. This sewage will quickly clog all but the most porous gravel soil formations.

A major function of a septic tank is to remove as many solids as possible from the sewage. The out flowing liquid (effluent) will finally be distributed over an adequate area of land where it can be dispersed in a soil absorption field. The absorption field is usually a series of parallel trenches, each containing a distribution pipe embedded in drain field gravel. The effluent drains out through holes in the pipe into the gravel bed and then into the soil. The soil filters remaining minute solids and pathogens (disease-producing microorganisms). Water and dissolved substances slowly percolate outward into the soil and down toward ground water or a restrictive layer. Some of the water evaporates or is used by plants.

A second function of the septic tank is to treat the solids remaining in the tank with bacteria of the anaerobic species (only active in the absence of oxygen). Given enough time, these bacteria decompose the solids and eventually make them stable. This decomposition or treatment of the sewage under anaerobic conditions is termed “putrefaction” or “septic,” hence the name of the tank.

Anaerobic Sewage Treatment SystemsA third function of the tank is to store the solids. A rock is chemically stable, whereas an orange, for example, is unstable because bacteria and fungus can decompose it until it is stable and is no longer subject to bacterial action. This process of bacterial breakdown is called digestion. There are three layers in the tank. These include sludge at the bottom (heavier solids that have settled), scum at the top (fats and greases, light solids that have risen), and in-between, relatively clear sewage that still contains sugars, detergents, and other dissolved solids.

The anaerobic bacteria work in all three layers. These bacteria reduce the size and weight of the solids by turning a large part of them into liquids and gases. Thus, a pound of solids entering a tank may be only a fraction of the weight three months later. Every time raw sewage enters the tank, it forces an equal amount of treated sewage out of the tank. Septic tank tees or baffles prevent the sludge and top scum layer from exiting the tank with the treated sewage. The sewage effluent leaving the tank may still contain pathogens and are dispersed into the soil absorption drain field. Bacteria present in the soil carry out further digestion.

Tank Design ConsiderationsCapacity is one of the most important considerations in septic tank design. Allowing for ample tank capacity is important from a functional standpoint as well as good economy. Consult local codes and requirements for septic tank sizing.

The inlet compartment of any septic tank must be not less than two thirds (2/3) of the total capacity of the tank, nor less than 500 gallons liquid capacity. The tank must be at least 3 feet wide and 5 feet long. Liquid depth must be not less than 2.5 feet.

The second compartment must have a minimum 250 gallon capacity or a maximum of one third (1/3) of the total capacity of the tank.

Adequate access must be provided to each compartment for easy accessibility, inspection, cleaning, and removal of intercepted waste products. There should be an adequate number of manholes to permit access for cleaning all areas of the interceptor. A manhole should be located near the inlet and the outlet. The manhole should not be less than 20” in the least dimension. All manholes should extend to grade.

The septic tank should be buried so as to intercept the building sewer. Inlet and outlet piping shall be a minimum of 4” or the size of the building sewer, whichever is greater.

Engineering Fact SheetFor Aerobic Sewage Treatment Systems

EFS-ASTS12

General InformationWhen a public sewer system is not available, a building sewer is required to have an on-site wastewater treatment system. Local and state authorities typically regulate this type of private sewage disposal system.

There are two main types of on-site wastewater treatment systems:v

1. Anaerobic - (no oxygen)2. Aerobic - (oxygen)

This document will discuss the typical aerobic treatment system.

The aerobic treatment systems are also known as aerobic biological systems or package treatment systems. This type of system treats wastewater better than the typical anaerobic septic systems. The aerobic system offers better solids separation and reduced sludge volume. The aerobic system produces high quality effluent, which can be disposed of through one of the following methods:

1. Conventional soil absorption beds2. Drip irrigation3. Above ground spraying

OperationThe typical on-site wastewater treatment system can consist of the following components:vv

1. Pretreatment Tank - Functions similar to a septic tank, removes most solids

2. Sewage Treatment Plant - A pre-engineered treatment tank which utilizes aerobic process to decompose sewage

3. Dosing/Pump Tank - A tank with one or two pumps to pump the effluent to the final disposal point.

4. Chlorinator - Device used to add chlorine

5. Dispersal System - The water dispersal system can consist of leaching chamber, gravel bed, seepage mound, drip irrigation, or sprinkler irrigation.

Septic / Pretreatment TankThe septic or pretreatment tank should be constructed to maximize the amount of solids it separates. The tank can be single or double compartments and made of precast concrete (4500 psi @ 28 days). Adequate access must be provided to each compartment for easy accessibility, inspection, and cleaning.

The septic/pretreatment tank shall be constructed in conformance to ASTM-C1227 and local/state requirements.

Aerobic Sewage Treatment Systems Aerobic Treatment PlantThe treatment plant is a pre-engineered treatment tank that utilizes aerobic (oxygen using) action to break down raw sewage. This system consists of concrete or fiberglass mixing tank, an internal cone shaped settling chamber and air injection equipment. The injected air enables naturally occurring bacteria to thrive and grow in much greater numbers than would occur naturally. This “overpopulation” of vthe bacteria speeds the process of breaking down the sewage.

The raw sewage enters the mixing chamber where mixing occurs through an air distribution system. The solids remain in suspension with a general flow up the mixing tank wall and down the outside of the settling chamber. The mixed liquid then enters the settling chamber from the bottom. The settling chamber maintains a quiet condition that allows solids to settle down and re-enter the mixing chamber for more processing. The liquid is hydraulically displaced upward and is discharged as clear odorless treated water that meets or exceeds state water quality standards.

Treatment tanks must meet stringent specifications and are ANSI/NSF 40 Certified and state approved.

Pump / Dosing TanksThe sewage discharge from the treatment tank gravity flows into the pump tank. The pump tank is constructed of concrete or fiberglass. The tank contains either one (simplex) or two (duplex) submersible pumps. When the level rises to a set level, the pump(s) will pump the treated sewage to an absorption bed, drip irrigation field or above ground sprayers. The pump(s) is controlled with float switches, a control panel and a timer.

ChlorinatorIf the treated sewage needs further treatment, a chlorinator is employed to add small amounts of chlorine to the effluent. This chlorine will kill any remaining pathogens. The chlorinator is generally used for above ground disposal. The chlorinator uses chlorine tablets that are dissolved in the effluent flow stream.

System Design ConsiderationsA professional engineer or registered sanitarian should design the aerobic treatment system. Consult local and state authorities for specific system requirements.

ConstructionAll septic, pretreatment, aerobic plants, or pump tanks manufactured by ParkUSA are constructed of quality precast concrete, Class I 4500 PSI @ 28 days. The tanks are constructed in conformance to ASTM C1227. Precasting the concrete shell insures that all units achieve structural and physical uniformity. The units are structurally engineered for H-20 truck loading and can be buried without any need for other structural protection. The unit is of monolithic construction at the walls and bottom to insure against joint leakage.

Engineering Fact SheetFor Aboveground Fuel Tanks

EFS-SV12

General InformationThe SuperVault MH is the first tank to pass the SwRI 95-03 Multi-Hazard test, the toughest national test for aboveground fuel tanks. Most tanks are single-hazard rated which means they can withstand a hazard (fire, bullet, impact) one time, but then have to be removed from service. The SuperVault MH has been tested for multiple exposure to fires and other hazards, plus an extended element exposure test. This means that if the SuperVault MH experiences a hazard, it may be recertified and kept in service rather than having to be replaced.In addition to SwRI 95-03, the listing includes a 4-hour fire rating. It meets the stringent safety requirements of Uniform Fire Code Appendix Standard A-II-F-1 (UFC 79-7), SwRI Test Procedure 93-01, NFPA 30/30A, and UL 2085 Protected Tank and Interstitial Communication Test. The SuperVault MH provides safe, aboveground storage, with the highest insulation value available in a lightweight concrete design. The unique design provides unsurpassed fire protection and ballistic resistance. Installation and handling is much easier than tanks encased in heavy weight concrete. Since the tanks are relatively lightweight, they can be shipped anywhere in the world. The insulating concrete is protected from deterioration and damage by an additional outer steel tank. The MH Series is available in two styles, cylindrical and rectangular.MH Series Cylindrical TanksAvailable from 250 gallons to 20,000 gallons, the cylindrical line of the MH Series offers two advantages to the fleet fueling operation: larger capacities and less wasted fuel in the bottom of the tank. For example, let’s say a suction tube is cut 6” from the bottom of a fuel tank to avoid settling debris or water common with fuel storage. In a 12,000 gallon rectangular tank, the end user would have approximately 840 gallons of unusable fuel at 6”. At 6” in a 12,000 gallon cylindrical tank, the volume left is only 240 gallons. This means the owner of a 12,000 gallon SuperVault has 600 additional gallons, 71% more in the bottom 6” than larger rectangular ASTs. MH Series Rectangular Tanks

Rectangular SuperVaults are available from 250 gallons to 2,000 gallons. The advantages of rectangular designs are smaller footprints, less visual impact and simplicity in operating tank-top pumps and accessories.

Venting & TrappingEach fixture discharging into the waste water interceptor must be individually trapped and vented.

FixturesWastewater Interceptor must be placed as close as practical to fixtures they serve and outside the building.

Each interceptor will be accompanied with manufacturer’s installation instructions

BackfillAfter unit is set, the excavation should be completely backfilled immediately and prior to filling with water. The backfill material shall meet the specifications and requirements for setting location (consult with design engineer for backfill specifications). It is recommended that backfill material be on site at the time of delivery. Two methods of backfill are:

a. With material excavated placed in (1) one foot lifts and compacted and tamped to original density or per owner/engineer’s requirements.

b. Bank sand in (2) two foot lifts and compacted or water-jetted per owner/engineer’s requirements.

Testing (for tanks)If project specifications require testing of tanks, follow the following testing procedure. After completing the piping, the unit shall be properly backfilled. Fill the tank with water to the normal operating level. Record this level and let stand for 24 hours. Recheck the water level. A 5% or less variance is generally acceptable. Note that precast concrete tanks are designed for below grade installation with an earthen backfill. DO NOT fill tanks with water until the tanks are properly backfilled. Filling tanks prior to backfilling may cause abnormal stresses and may result in leakage and/or damage to the tanks and may void the manufacturer’s warranty.

OverviewParkUSA is a leader in pre-engineered environmental products. Products are catalogued with standard features as shown on specification material. However, these products are often furnished to meet specific engineering requirements, and have special features and arrangements. In such cases, handling and installation procedures may vary slightly depending upon the actual type of construction. It is recommended that a company representative be consulted in each unique situation.

Codes and InstallationLocal codes and regulations should supersede all recommendations made by ParkUSA and it’s representatives, and the appropriate authorities should be consulted before installation is made. Where an apparent conflict of code requirements and manufacturer recommendations or standard design exists, the assistance of a company representative should be requested. In almost every instance, ParkUSA will be able to make modifications necessary to comply with local codes, jurisdictions and interpretations, if notified prior to actual fabrication or upon order placement.

Field PreparationThe customer or his contractor shall prepare the excavation to the proper depth using dimensional data and weights from approved submitted drawings.

Call 800-256-8041 to confirm excavation dimensions and crane requirements.

All excavations should be shored or stepped back in accordance to OSHA recommendations.

A level base within the excavation and a minimum of twelve (12) inches of clearance on all sides of the unit is required. The depth of the base and the material shall meet the specifications and requirements for the type of soil at the setting location (consult with design engineer for base specifications).

All field excavation and preparation is the sole responsibility of the customer/contractor.

SchedulingThe delivery of the unit should be scheduled at least 48 hours in advance, weather permitting. To reschedule a delivery, a 24 hour notice is required.

Delivery and PlacementUnit will be delivered and placed in the excavation by ParkUSA or its representatives, when accessible for crane truck. The crane operator will perform rigging and setting unit. It will be necessary for the customer/contractor to furnish the required labor to install the joint sealant and assist our crane operator with the installation. Backfill is the sole responsibility of the owner/contractor.
