Removing waste water
from low-lying spaces
1.1
Problems with backflow
Backflow is a term used with
regard to sewer pipes to describe
the situation when waste water
from the sewer backs up into the
site drainage system.
Backflow can occur when the
sewer pipe is insufficiently wide
to allow waste water to be
drained off quickly enough.
Exceptionally heavy rainfall can
lead to overloading of the public
sewer system. Both blockages in
the sewer system or maintenance
and inspection work being
carried out there can also lead to
backflow. For financial reasons,
it is impossible for the local
municipality to build a sewer
backflow.

Sizing waste water lifting
units
In order to select the lifting
units, two values are initially
required:
Combined waste water flow
rate Qm
Total discharge head Htot
For the individual selection
steps refer to the overview chart
on Worksheet 1, page 16.
3.1
Determinining flow rate (Q m )
according to DIN EN 12056-2/3
The maximum volume of waste
water to be handled is calculated
according to the following formula:
Qm = Qww + Qr + Qc
where:
Qm = Flow rate of pump
equipment (Combined
waste water flow rate)
Qww = Waste water flow rate
Qr = Rainwater flow rate
Qc = Continuous flow rate
3.1.1
Calculating waste water
flow rate (Q w w )
In DINEN 12056-2 and
DIN 1986-100 the discharge
capacity of individual sanitary
installations is allocated.
The individual design units (DU)

for the different sanitary installations can be taken from
Work-sheet 2.
The maximum anticipated
waste water flow rate Qww is
established using the following
equation:
Qww = K (DU) in (l/s)
3.1.2
Calculating rainwater flow
r ate (Q r )
Rainwater must always be
drained off separately inside
buildings.
The maximum rainwater flow
rate (Qr) anticipated is calculated
according to the following
equation (DIN 1986-100):
Qr = r(D,T) C A 10 -4 in (l/s)
where:
K = Frequency factor which
takes into account the
frequency of use of
sanitary installations.
DU = Design unit; the average
discharge rate of a sani-
tary appliance expressed
in l/s
The result derived from this
formula takes into account both
the simultaneous use and
duration of use of sanitary
installations.
The simplified procedure can be
implemented with the aid of
Worksheet 3.
Should the Qww waste water
flow rate calculated be smaller
than the highest design unit of a
sanitary installation, then the
latter shall prevail.

where:
C = Surface dependent runoff

into account the

(For table see
Worksheet 4)
A = Precipitation area in m2
r(D,T) = Design rainfall intensity
in l/(s ha) according to
DIN 1986-100.
Worksheet 5 can be
used to help establish
design rainfall intensity.
The relevant authorities can
provide information on local
rainfall intensity.
A calculation of the rainwater
flow rate can then be made using
Worksheet 6.
For designs with no backflow
loop according to DIN 1986100, allowance must also be
made for the backflow volume
according to Worksheet 10.

a flexible and sound absorbent
maintenance work.)
8.2
Pipework
All pipework must be able to
empty freely into the sewer and
therefore be laid out with a slope.
Standard discharge piping layout
and equipment:
Check valve (unit accessories)
Gate valve (unit accessories)
Pipe loop (to be provided by
house owner)
The waste water inlet line
should have a minimum
gradient of 1:50.
A pipes nominal diameter
design.
The pipes must be supported
flexibly against the brickwork.
Lifting units must be directly
ventilated.
Alternatively, the vent line may
also be connected to the
ancillary or secondary venti
lation system.
The lifting units vent line
should be at least DN 50 to
DIN 1986-100.
Vent lines must lead out of the
roof.
must not be reduced in flow

direction.

NOTE: Toilets with 7.5 litre flush volumes are not commonly used in installations governed by this
standard. For this reason, they were not assigned a nominal diameter for the appliance connection pipe in
the table. In the case of toilet systems with pressure flushing valves, the same design units as for the systems
equipped with cisterns can be used. Owing to current developments, sizing rules for toilet s ystems with flush
volumes of 4.0/4.5 litres were added to System I.
Tests have shown that toilet systems which are suitable for flush water volumes of 4.0/4.5 and 6.0 litres can
be connected with nominal diameters DN 80 (di = 75 mm) and DN 90 (di = 79 mm).

The frequency factor K should be used for orientation only. The typical frequency factors are
stipulated in DIN EN 12056-2, section 6.3.2, table 3.
The K value reflects specific usage patterns of individual building types.
To calculate the waste water flow rate, use the equation in section 3.1 on page 8.
