Results of the vacuum station monitoring in a selected vacuum sewerage system

摘要

The vacuum sewerage system is characterised by periodicity of operation, resulting from temporal and spatial non-uniformity of sewage flow to the system, along with short work times and long idle times. In those specific conditions, the operating parameters are kept by the vacuum station, which is a decisive factor in the reliability of operation of the sewerage system. As a result of monitoring of a selected pumping station, it was concluded that the majority of work times of the vacuum pumps is located within the interval between, approximately, 0,5 and 1,5 min., while the total work time of a pump was equal to as little as 37 min.
