  • Patent number: 7882856
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for improving the operation of sewer systems includes a first sewer pipe connected to a source of other water and a second smaller diameter sewer pipe passing through the first sewer pipe and connected to sources of sanitary effluent. The second sewer pipe can be attached to the interior surfaces of the first sewer line by a curable adhesive material using a removable inflatable bladder to hold the second sewer pipe in position until the adhesive has cured sufficiently. As an alternative, positioning walls or arms, integral with the second pipe, form positioning spaces filled with a slurry material to hold the second sewer pipe in position. The slurry will harden in place to form an integral unit with the second pipe and the positioning walls or arms.

  • Patent number: 6698442
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for improving the operation of sewer systems includes a first set of sewer lines connected to a source of other water and a second set of sewer lines of smaller diameter than the sewer lines of said first set connected to sources of sanitary effluent, the first and second sets of lines being separately connected to a sewerage treatment plant. The second set of sewer lines has at least a portion thereof that extends inside the first set of sewer lines and the first set of sewer lines can be an existing sanitary sewer system. The apparatus can include at least one sanitary effluent process device connected to the second set of sewer lines such as a pumping station, a grinder pump or a vacuum system to assist the flow of the sanitary effluent through the second set of sewer lines.
