In large urbanized areas is used rainwater drainage and that has a negative impact on the functionality of the sewerage system during heavy rainfall. Pipes and objects on the sewer network are being overloaded. This causes quick floods. In our research, we are focused on the assessment of part of the sewerage of Trnava city. The collectors C and D belonging to the eastern part of the city. In our assessing we use boundary rain from ombrografic station of Trnava City.
Construction of a sewer system on a flat area is characterized by a large number of pumping stations (PS), which implies the probability of occurrence of technical problems and increases operational costs. The article focuses on drainage methods for municipalities situated on a flat area where it is necessary to build up a large number of pumping stations. Problems occur in case of multiple serial, parallel or combined connections of PSs. Energy costs can outweigh other costs, especially if the PS runs more than 2000 hours per year (Wilson et al., 2010). It has been shown that there is a large technical and economic potential for energy savings in sewage pumping. The pumping of waste waters in Slovakia is mostly based on the START-STOP method. This means that the pumps operate at all times at full power. In practice, we can also meet with oversizing of pumps. These and other facts lead to increased power consumption.Also rainwater infiltration and "black" stormwater connections belong to significant present problems in sewer system operation. Large amounts of storm water in a sewerage PS lead to increasing intensity of wastewater pumping, which is reflected in increasing operational costs.Optimization of such sewer system is based on mathematical modelling and was implemented in the "Ivanka pri Dunaji" municipality, close to Bratislava -the capital of Slovakia where the above mentioned problems in wastewater discharge cause considerable operating costs and inefficient performance of the system as a whole for a long time. Due to the enormous houses development, the system is inadequately loaded by rain waters as well. Also poor discipline of property owners contributes to the inauspicious situation to a great extent. Despite a ban of connections, paved areas are drained into the sewage system very often. The identification of such connections is very problematic with regard to ownership rights. Rain waters in sewages can degrade the quality of wastewaters, increase operating costs of pumping and reduce system life cycle. It was demonstrated by mathematical modelling that with the use of information technologies, it is possible to make the existing sewerage systems more effective or propose a new system of pumping and discharging waste waters. AbstraktPre výstavbu stokovej siete v rovinatom území je typické značné množstvo čerpacích staníc (ČS), čo implikuje pravdepodobnosť vzniku technických problémov a zvyšuje náklady na prevádzku. Príspevok je zameraný na spôsoby odkanalizovania obcí situovaných v rovinatom území, kde je potrebné budovať veľký počet čerpacích staníc (ČS). Problémy nastávajú pri niekoľkonásobnom sériovom, paralelnom alebo kombinovanom zapojení ČS. Spotreba energie tvorí často najväčšiu nákladovú položkou celkových nákladov generovaných počas životného cyklu čerpadla. Náklady na energiu môžu dominovať ostatným nákladom, hlavne ak je čerpadlo v chode viac ako 2000 hodín za rok (Wilson et al., 2010).Bolo dokázané, že existuje veľký technický a ekonomický potenciál úspor energie pri čerpaní ...
Assessments of sewer systems are key tools in verification of sewer hydraulic capacity. Rain sewers and combined sewers are most susceptible regarding system overload and so while assessing them; proper choice of design rainfall is inevitable. The calculation of design rainfall is time-consuming and inefficient and that was the reason that leads to development of design rainfall analysis tool in order to minimize the length of the calculation process of design rainfall. The tool incorporates calculation of design rainfall depending on the specified area of interest within Slovakia and chosen periodicity, allows block rain, reduced block rain and synthetic rain to be calculated with the possibility of their mutual comparison, and also serves to generate background data for further use in form of portable document format and excel files.
