Subject:  How to Model a Vacuum Sewer in SWMM 5  



You can model a vacuum sewer as a gravity pipe connected to a storage node connected to an outlet connected to various pipes in a sawtooth pattern connected to a collection tank with a pump that pumps to a force main.

1.       Gravity Pipe,

2.       Storage Node,

3.       An Outlet function that works as a function of the depth in the storage node

4.       Series of Pipes in a Sawtooth Pattern,

5.       Collection tank,

6.       Pump

7.       Force Main

    Hello Ono,

    I fixed the missing images shown above and added a few more images about vacuum sewers.  I guess it would help to see a real example so I will make one during the day for you to start with in your modeling.  It might be useful to others as well - will this help?
