BS EN 16932-3 discusses vacuum systems in drain and sewer systems. BS EN 16932-3 specifies requirements for design, construction, and acceptance testing of wastewater pumping systems in drain and sewer systems outside the buildings they are intended to serve. BS EN 16932-3 includes pumping systems in drain and sewer systems that operate essentially under gravity as well as systems using either positive pressure or partial vacuum.
Note: BS EN 16932-3 is applicable to vacuum drain and sewer systems.
BS EN 16932-3 on drain and sewer systems outside buildings is useful for:
BS EN 16932-2 specifies requirements for design, construction, and acceptance testing of wastewater pumping systems in drain and sewer systems outside the buildings which will help in establishing the foul wastewater flow rates into the vacuum system.
BS EN 16932-3 helps remove conveyance and disposal of waste and hence helps to improve the product quality without inducing cross-contamination.
BS EN 16932-3 provides operational and preventive maintenance that helps minimize the risk of water flooding and minimize failure rates.
The overall intent of BS EN 16932-3 improving pumping systems in drain and sewer systems using vacuum systems.
