3.5 Pumped fluids

Pumping unauthorised fluids
Dangerous for people and the environment!
➜ Only discharge authorised pumped fluids into the public sewerage
network.
Authorised pumped fluids:
The following liquids are allowed in discharge systems:
• Water contaminated by domestic use, human excrement, toilet roll.
Unauthorised pumped fluids:
The following liquids and substances are banned:
• Solid materials, fibres, tar, sand, cement, ash, coarse paper, hand towels, wipes, cardboard,
rubble, rubbish, slaughterhouse waste, oils, hydrocarbons, greases, etc.
• Wastewater containing harmful substances (for example, untreated greasy waste from restaurants).
Pumping these liquids and substances requires the fitting of a compliant grease trap.
• Rain water.

3.6 Installation of the SANIPUMP pumping station

• The characteristics shown on the rating plate have been compared with those on the order and
installation (supply voltage, frequency).
• The SANIPUMP pumping station cannot be immersed in water of more than 5 m deep.
®
• The minimum height of the entries into the sump must be 500 mm with respect to the bottom of the
manhole.
• The installation room must be protected against frost.
• The installation room is adequately lit.
• The plant room where the SANIPUMP
allow a 600 mm clearance around and above the device to facilitate any maintenance operations.
• Stop valves must be fitted on the effluent inlet as well as on the discharge line, as close as possible
to the pumping station.
• Install a non-return valve on the pumping station outlet to prevent unintended start-up.
• The discharge line must be designed to prevent any back-flow of sewage.
• By fitting a non-return loop, located above the back-flow level, back-flow is avoided.
PLEASE NOTE: Unless otherwise specified locally, the back-flow level is the level of the
highway (roads, pavement, etc.). Extend this line after the non-return loop through a larger
diameter pipe.
• The pumped fluid is appropriate and authorised by this documentation (paragraph 3.5).
• In case of discharge of greasy effluents, the use of a degreasing tank is essential.
Wastewater other than those mentioned above, for example, of artisanal or industrial origin,
must not be discharged into the pipes without prior treatment.
