Do we to include ARV & BOW on sewer force main design!
(OP)
i am new here and currently working on a project that designing sewer force main. i am wondering do i need to consider the air release valve and blow off valve for the sewer force main design? and how do the maintenance guys handle air release (sewer) when opening the valve? appreciates the advice and thanks a lot!





RE: Do we to include ARV & BOW on sewer force main design!
The blow off valve is normally installed close to the lift station.
If you design the system properly, the air release will only occur on system startup, not during normal operations.

I thought all the valves are operated manually!
Why the blow off valve is normally installed close to the lift station? Thanks again!

Most specifiers put the blow off valve close to the lift station, probably so the clean out valve can be used to clean out the lift station.
