INTRO TO WW COLLECTION 1) Pump base drain

Drainage system – collects of wastewater from source and 2) Sample point drain
conveys it to treatment facilities 3) Equipment maintenance drain
TYPES: 4) Lube oil drains
1. Open sewer system – offsite scope, Chemical Sewer
drainage network open to the atmosphere 1) Laboratory sink drain
2. Close sewer system – process scope, fully
contained drains where toxic and DRAINAGE SYSTEM:
hazardous fluid from equipment are
drained for recovery or safe disposal 1) Non contaminated – open ditches to (retention
OBJECTIVES OF OPEN SEWER: pond/basin) to discharge to environment
1. To avoid flooding 2) Accidentally contaminated – catch basin in curb
2. To collect, convey and segregate effluent stream area to underground pipes to overflow diversion
3. To ensure that discharge meet environmental device to collection pits
requirements 3) Continuously contaminated – open funnel to
underground pipe to collection pit
COMMON DRAINAGE FACILITIES: 4) Laboratory sink drains- drains to pipe to
1. Open channel/ ditches – transfer water to atmospheric tank with internal coating
receiving water body or facility 5) Sanitary sewer – underground pipe to collection
2. Catch basin- a small reservoir for collecting pits
surface run-off 6) Cryogenic spills - ???
3. Open funnel- used in collecting small amount of
drains
4. Manhole- allows inspection and cleaning
especially at sewer line interconnection
5. Underground pipes- used to transport
sewerage
6. Pit/ basin/ pond – a underground concrete
structure used to retain liquid

EFFLUENT SOURCE AND CLASSIFICATION:

1. Non-Contaminated Sewer
2. Accidentally-Contaminated Sewer
3. Continuously-Contaminated Sewer
4. Chemical sewer
5. Sanitary sewer – wastewater from toilet, sink and
kitchen
6. Cryogenic spill – spill from cryogenic handling
equipment
Non-contaminated sewer sources:
1. Surface run-off from road, building and non-
process area
2. Non-contaminated surface run-off from storage
tank bunked area
3. Cooling water or boiler blowdown
4. Demineralized unit effluent

Accidentally-Contaminated Sewer
1. Oil/contaminated water due to accidental leak
2. Surface run-off that is potentially contaminated

Continuously-Contaminated Sewer
1. Water draw off from oil storage tank
2. Surface run off from maintenance workshop area
3. Process water
4. Oily drip/drains
