Wastewater Force Main Assessment Service
Gas pockets in sewer force mains can substantially impact their operational efficiency and the integrity of the entire pipeline system. These pockets, especially those containing hydrogen sulfide (H2S), significantly accelerate the corrosion of pipeline materials, leading to potential structural damage. Furthermore, they can obstruct wastewater flow, thus reducing the overall capacity and efficiency of the system. Gas buildup without proper venting could result in dangerous explosions. Therefore, inline inspection for gas pockets is a crucial task to ensure compliance with environmental standards and the safe, efficient operation of sewer force mains. Leveraging a decade of expertise, our team at Insight Water Technologies offers comprehensive inspection services, having assessed over 500 miles of force mains. We provide tailored solutions to meet the specific needs of our clients, helping to maintain and manage the vital infrastructure of wastewater systems.
Gas pockets in sewer force mains pose significant issues due to their impact on operational efficiency, maintenance requirements, and the integrity of the pipeline system.
Inline inspection for gas pockets is an essential part of managing and maintaining sewer force mains, ensuring they operate safely, efficiently, and in compliance with environmental standards.
-
Corrosion Acceleration: Gas pockets, particularly those containing hydrogen sulfide (H2S), can lead to accelerated corrosion of the pipeline material.
-
Reduced Flow Capacity: Gas pockets can obstruct the flow of wastewater through the force main, reducing the system’s overall capacity and efficiency.
-
Operational Challenges: Gas pockets can interfere with the smooth operation of sewer force mains by affecting hydraulic conditions and causing surges or fluctuations in pressure.
-
Risk of Structural Damage: Accumulated gases can exert pressure on the walls of the sewer force main, potentially leading to structural damage or failure. In extreme cases, the buildup of gas pockets without proper venting mechanisms can lead to dangerous explosions.
