Abstract
Simplified sewerage was developed in Brazil in the early 1980s and is the sanitation technology of first choice in high-density peri-urban areas with a reasonably reliable water supply. Modern design, based on a minimum tractive tension of 1 Pa being achieved at peak flow, shows that up to 234 households having a peak wastewater flow of 765 l d−1 can be served by a 100 mm diameter sewer. In industrialized countries simplified sewerage can be easily adapted to higher design requirements. For example, a 100 mm diameter sewer can serve up to 56 households having a peak wastewater flow of 4,000 l d−1 and attain a minimum tractive tension of 2.5 Pa at peak flow.
